A Much Needed Smile

Who doesn't love a good unexpected surprise?  I love surprises.  While they aren't always good, it is the moments when you get a wonderful surprise that is unexpected that just makes your day!

Thanks to my little boys, I was given one of these unexpected surprises in one of the most unusual ways!  

As I prepared to leave school and head home, I gathered my belongings and headed towards the Bailey Bus.  While from far away all I noticed was how badly my car needed a bath, the closed I got, I began to notice something colored on the running boards of my car.  I continued towards the car wondering what in the world could this possibly be.   

In a matter of seconds, my face was wearing a grin from ear to ear and a giggle could be heard!  Making the journey from the neighborhood to the job site were two reminders of my little boys!  


Somehow, as I loaded my ten tons of teacher things into the bus that morning, I missed these little reminders!!  

Yes, "Yellow Mater" got a true tour of the streets!  While he saw the city upside down, we are very thankful he held on for the ride!!!!   

 

And Bless his Soul!  Alvin just wanted to find his 2 brothers I suppose!  He looks as though he realized scooting more towards the inside of the running board wouldn't be a bad idea!  

 

So there I stood.  In the parking lot, taking pictures of my car.  Giggling thinking about the two little boys who had been playing with these the day before!  

It was a little reminder for me of so many things:  Boys will be boys and can find a way to play with almost anything!   The afternoons where I am sitting in the garage watching them ride scooters or play cars is just what I am suppose to be doing when I get home.  And that clearly my driving was up to par that morning or our little friends might not have made it home that afternoon!  

So thankful for these little unexpected moments!
