I’m sure you KNEW that there was a little story to go with my Wordless Wednesday.
My husband had to go to Home Depot to get whatever husbands like to get from that testosterone filled place…seriously, it’s like the male version of Target!!
Anyway…he asked all the kids if they wanted to tag along with him. The only takers were…my littlest son and daughter. But…they’ll go anywhere with my husband. Especially Home Depot. They love the hot dogs!
As they were walking in, a man approaches them. My husband assumed this man wanted to sell him a waterproof basement package or an enclosed sun porch. But no…
The man took a look at my children and said to my husband…”You need to take a picture of your children. They are two of the happiest looking children I’ve seen in a long time.”
And my husband stopped. He looked at the kids and realized…he did need to take a picture. Because, they were TRULY overflowing with happiness.
He had them put their heads together. He didn’t even have to tell them to smile or say cheese. And…with his camera phone, he took the most beautiful picture of my two youngest children.
He found the man who told him that this picture needed to be taken and he showed him the picture. The man was thrilled…it made his day.
For us, this picture is a reminder. That despite all the whining. Despite all the crying. And temper tantrums…
We are doing a good job. Because our children are happy. And they radiate it. Well…2 of the 5, anyway.
But, I think that had they all gone to Home Depot with their Daddy…and the man stopped my husband to take a picture of the kids…all 5 of them would have glowed like that.
And that makes me glow.
