sweet surprises

Who doesn't love surprises?

While I was busily making dinner tonight, the little pips spent the early evening popping in and out of the house. Always full of questions, always full of energy. They both tried to steal all the carrots for my Moroccan carrot and chickpea quinoa salad, and I spent a good amount of time spelling out words for Sutter's thank you card to his GG (great grandma). I finally managed to get a few minutes of quiet time in the kitchen. Whew!


Then I went outside to join Harper in checking on these newly planted babies



and that's when I found this sweet little surprise



And then I was reminded of a sweet surprise gift from a friend,



a surprise chance at playing captain,



and a surprisingly still moment of sweetness,



Sometimes you just have to shoo everyone out of the kitchen long enough and you'll remember all the little sweet surprises that make up life.

What's your favorite surprise?

XO,

Chelsea
