the unplanned photo of the day


As I was putting Odie down for his nap today I had planned on snapping a picture of him snoozing for today. When I came down to get my phone, I found this:

My 2 girls, folding a batch of laundry each. This may be a normal occurrence in any other home, but NOT around here. I almost cried. These girls of mine, (especially miss 14 yr old) NEVER do stuff without being asked. Seriously, I don't think Abby EVER has...So when I saw this, I just knew it had to be the picture today.

(p.s. I feel like I have to explain the tank top Abby is wearing. She had a shirt on over it today, but was trying on her dance costumes just before this, and I guess the urge to help her mother came on suddenly...I know I shouldn't worry about explaining, but modesty is a huge issue to me, and Brandon very much dislikes when she wears tank tops even just around the house...the end.)

I'm loving your "photos of the day" to document summer. What an awesome idea!

How remarkable for any mom to see spontaneous help from the kids. I would have cried. My Becky misses Abby and Timothy still calls her awesome.

I love this idea. I am happy to see you here again and for the whole summer!!

I had to laugh at you explaining the tank top I would have done the same thing. :)

What good girls! Funny about the tank top cause I thought that looked out of place & had to do a double take.
