Welcome to #iPPP! Sarah at The Sunday Spill and I want to see your funny, your yummy, your heartfelt, your favorite phone photos of the week. All you need is a blog post containing at least one photo from any phone camera. Link up below!
I couldn’t decide what to write about this week. So much has happened in the last seven days that I decided to share ten things that made me smile:
1. The last day of school, a package from the Star Wars day at zulily.com, and the kids’ awesome imaginations.
2. My sweet girl, who cried through most of kindergarten graduation. I didn’t smile about that, but I did smile later when she said it was because she would miss her teacher. (She also said she was scared to go to first grade, but she said that about kindergarten, too, and she survived)
3. An awesome picnic on Memorial Day weekend, hearing squeals:
4. And getting this picture:
5. My girl at basketball camp. She didn’t want to go the day before, and was scared when we got there. But once she got started, she tried her hardest, even though she was the smallest one.
6. A brand new trampoline in the backyard, anchored down this time. (Our first one flew across the yard TWICE, the second time ending up standing vertically against our across-the-street neighbor’s house…obviously it was NOT anchored down. Not making that mistake twice.)
7. My oldest boy going to his first overnight camp today. We’re both excited, but we also both might need some extra hugs later. Thankfully, his aunt and uncle are counselors, and most of his cousins will be there, too.
8. My sweet baby taking a nap with me this weekend. I thought he was teething, but I think he has had some kind of virus, because the youngest girl seems to be going through the same thing now (SIGH). He cried and cried when daddy put him in his crib, and I needed a nap, so I went up and got him and took him to bed with me. He fell asleep almost immediately, but about an hour and a half later, he sat straight up and said “Mama? What a doing in a big bed?”
9. Spending time alone with my big girl after basketball camp at the high school track and forcing myself to run three miles. It was a beautiful day for it, after raining hard all morning.
10. Having s’mores for the first time in a long, long time, thanks to my MIL sending us gluten-free graham crackers. Needless to say, they didn’t last long. In fact, we finished up the box of crackers and bag of chocolate last night for dessert (somehow, we still have a few marshmallows left).
What has made you smile this week?
I’m also joining Emmy Mom for her 10 Things to Smile About link-up.

You guys are going to have a SPECTACULAR summer! I joined Instagram just so I could be a part of it, just a little bit.
So many smiles! Such great photos, Greta! I can't wait for some s'mores this summer.
Cute cute pictures, Greta! Love seeing all of them 😀
This post totally made me smile!
I love the picture of all the kids on the slide. You really need to blow that up and get it printed on canvas.
I'd love to have a trampoline in the backyard and I know my kids would be ecstatic if we had one. But I'm worried it would swim away with all the rain we've been having! I love napping with my youngest by my side… 🙂
Great list!! That slide pictures is awesome! What a fun fun moment.
It has been way too long since I have gone running, I really need to get into it again. So funny what your baby said about the nap, too cute.
I was a crier too when I was little so would cry during a lot of things; I am sure she will have a great first grade year.
Thanks so much for linking up!!
I love that slide pic!!
A nice little list! I love that pictures of your kids onthe slide!
Yep, these all made me smile. I'm in love with your kids in their Star Wars outfits. And the slide picture. And graduation. And sleepy smily Erv. Really, just all of them.
What sweet little moments to share. And some great shots too!
I love looking at all these dimpled adorable kids. I can just soak it all in. 🙂 Yes, the slide picture is a gem.
What a happy and amazing week you had. Great pictures, as usual.
Little kid squeals of delight and dirty barefoot feet are two of my favorite things.
Your little girl is so sweet and sensitive. Love that first Star Wars photo! Linking from Emmy's (late to the party).
xo,

I love that costume photo, too! Thanks for visiting!
I love that slide picture!
Isn't it cute? I ordered a canvas for the wall. 🙂
That will be an awesome canvas =]
