No Filter… Glorious absolutely glorious! |
A few of the circles |
Then we laid out the blanket, and put the Valentine rice sensory bin on it. She worked on her pouring skills with all sorts of heart shaped spoons and dug around finding the buried treasures that match. All of the little treasures were found at dollar tree. Her absolute favorites were bracelets and erasers that look like dogs.
Heart shaped slinkys are great to stretch… and fling! |
Sweet Pea enjoyed trying to make the chalk stay on her skin too. We must have stayed outside doing these 2 things for 2 hours. In that time, we also had a little picnic of Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches once Daddy came home for lunch who works only 5 minutes away.
During this time, I just took in all of God’s countless blessings…
this beautiful weather; the fact that I GET to be home and PLAY with my girl; seeing her enjoyment in the simple things like circles and pouring rice; picnics; a dog who loves being around us; a husband who can come home during lunch and see his girls….
I seriously am so humbled that God saw fit to give us this girl. And those 39 months of infertility were so worth it to have a day like today. The Lord knew what He needed of me… He needed me to be home with her, and if we had been blessed with her beforehand, I honestly do not think we would have been able to afford for me to stay home. His plans are so much better than our own, and I am so grateful and humbled that I get to enjoy a day like this past Friday. It was perfect. Just perfect.
I love sensory bins! Would love to see your posts in the Practical Mondays Link Up:)
Thank you for the invite! I will definitely do that 🙂
Our daughter LOVES sensory bins, but they always make such HUGE messes. I love your idea of doing them outside!
