GIGGLES

Took the kiddos to church... it was great, great bible study. But anywhoooo the kids were wound up from the time we got in the car to come home from church... giggling, wrestling, splashing water out of the tub, you name it they did it tonight. I know as parents we want to get onto them and make them be quiet, settle down, but My Gosh... let them be kids!! That is what we did tonight... we ate supper...slurpping noodles (spaghetti); then went into the bath tub.... throwing yellow rubber duckies everywhere; trying to shoot the ducks from the tub into the toilet!! Hilarious... I just stood there and watched... laughing with them... okay, so then we get them out of the tub, get  pull-ups on and they start spinning in the living room w/their towels and falling down, running into each other, furniture!!! Soo. by then I couldn't hear the TV, American Idol... so I go and turn on her TV, watch Shrek, I look back and they are hanging from the top bunk bed by ONE arm!!! I thank I gave birth to albino monkeys'!!!! You know when you get to giggling you just can't stop, that was them... of course they have that "Moore laugh"... gizmo laugh. While they were laughing, a memory came back to me of my sister and I laughing uncontrollable for no reason at all... just laughing!! Well, that is what they had tonight was the GIGGLES!!!  I miss those days...  love ya kids!!!

Hey Girl...I thought that I should leave you with this poem by Maggie Lindley....

Giggle.....
don’t try to hold it in—it’s a hopeless cause. just go on and giggle. and why would you want to hold back your giggles anyway? after all, a giggle is audible joy. it’s the music of an abundant heart and an ecstatic soul. a giggly heart is one that is loved well and cherished completely. so don’t ever hold back your delightful giggles. instead, celebrate them!

This is you!
