I originally was going to bless you with a photo of the mouse intestines that L-boy handed to me today.
Thanks to our very resourceful cat.
Talk about a "you know you're a mom" moment.
Or more like a "disgusting, throw up in your mouth" moment!
However, on second thought....I decided to spare you the gory details.
Instead....I thought I'd share this moment with you.
Because it made me feel all warm and fuzzy.
We walk down the road to fetch the mail every evening.
I say "fetch" because I'm pretending to be Laura Ingalls.
Pushing L-boy's stroller down the hill is a breeze.
The kids often fight over who gets to do it.
But when her "fickle" older brothers are nowhere to be found on the way back up...
This "little mommy" digs in and gets the job done.
L-boy is one blessed little dude!
And I am one blessed mother.
I'm joining in with Arizona Mamma and The Long Road to China today.
How about it....
can I tempt you to do the same??

These are beautiful! I love the color, the sun rays and the composition - on top of the Little Mommy's Can DO attitude!
ah. you're a good, charitable woman for sparing the mouse entrails. ty. =)
cute little mama in training you got there.
Wow - these are really beautiful shots and I love your Little House on the Prairie moment.
Just stopped by via From Chaos Comes Happiness! Love your photography...inspiring! I'm on board with more B&W shots! Also, just viewed the video of S-Girl's arrival. Very touching!! You're a very lucky family!
You sure are blessed! Beautiful kids and such a sweet little helper! And she's cute coming and going!
What great pictures! I wish I had the "eye" like all you fabulous photographers! I'm seeing a lot of great black and whites!
Have a Wonderful Wednesday!
Oh, thank you for sparing us that. Now I don't have to do the payback with the post on the "gift" my son left me in my purse 85 years ago.
Sweet photos! The B/W really work well here.
That is so sweet of S-girl!!
What a great picture! I love it! And thanks for sparing us. :)
So glad you spared us the details. This pic is so MUCH better. It's beautiful. The story behnind it makes it even more beautiful. I just love your photos. Amazing!
Awwww ... what a precious site!! ;)
Love the sun shining through, too - Good Job, Mom! ;)
Ummmmmmmm...can we I just say how ridiculously heart-melting this photo/post is??? Love!
What beautiful pictures! Love the lighting! And I know about boys and what they bring you...eeewwww!
Awwww. Love the S girl. And am I wrong or is she tall? Maybe it's just the picture, but her legs look so long compared to her Guiping buddy, Maya. Of course, Maya never wears pants, so maybe the skirts cutting her off halfway just make her look shrimpy.
And speaking of her, man, has she gotten feisty lately! Yesterday her sister said, "I miss the interferon." Yeah, me too. Give the girl a little medicated exhaustion and we're all the better!
{sigh} Laura Ingalls and Little House ... {hmmm}
Oh...sorry...
Thanks for sharing this morning ...
a giggle with my coffee! Perfect.
My life right now is surrounded by
colors of brown ... I look forward
to being more creative in full-color.
Loved your links up too ... I'll
be back soon ~j.
I, for one, bless you for NOT showing the mouse innards. Thank you! Much better pictures here! Sweet!
Oh my gosh. That is one beautiful picture. I am now thinking of rat guts and I just want to thank you for that lovely visual... : )
That is very sweet and thank you for leaving the guts out of things.
Aww! What a good kid! Beautiful photos, too. :)
I love that first picture. That is amazing!
Thank you for leaving the guts out of this. That is just icky.
Once when my hubby and I were first married my then indoor cat decided to catch a mouse in the garage, bring it in the house and leave it's head underneath the Christmas tree on top of a present. I guess it was the giving season!
What a clever and efficient way to participate in two memes on the same day! These are great black and whites. I do love that the little mommy pitches in to help. That doesn't look like an easy hill to push anything up.
You are right, I prefer the photos that were chosen over the guts of a mouse.
What sweet pictures and what a sweet little girl you have there!
Darn, I knew I should have had a girl! Now I know why I do all the work around here....
I love that picture of her diggin in her heals!! =) esp. in black and white!
and I love using the word fetch for the same reason! =) why ~ why does my little girl NOT like watching Little House? Maye THIS summer she will embrace it?? maybe?! =)
LOVE your pics. That's all I have to say :)
Beautiful pictures! And thank you for sparing us the gory details!
Yes you were right, you had a mom moment. Glad you posted better great pics

Absolutely gorgeous. So much to love about these images from the angle to the black/white to the sun flare to the little girl...I could go on! Beautiful!!!
Look at how sweet. The road you travel to fetch the mail is just beautiful. Love the shadows cast in these pictures. Gorgeous.
Okay, that's a first! Mouse intestines? Ack!!
Sweet photo. Thanks for choosing it instead of, well... you know.

So sweet. And I'm with you - let's start a "fetch" revolution! I'd nearly forgotten about that fantastic word. :)
Awwww melting..that is soo sweet.
these are awesome!! I love the composition and the color!!
As I look at them I want to say "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can"....... adorable!!! She is definitely determined to get up that hill:)
In typical male fashion...when the goin' gets tough...bring in the women ;) So cute. I love how the little guy is peeking back in the second one.
Simply precious.
