snippets of nature

While on our walks this week, the boys found some sure signs of Spring. They were sneaky about it though and when we got home there were whispers here and there. Many "Mom, don't look!" pleas were heard. I went about my business and then was presented with this sweet surprise.

It sits on my windowsill in the kitchen and has been added to every day after our walk.  

It reminds me how much wonder fills these precious childhood years of theirs and how I need to take more time out of my day just to be in wonder with them. 

As we grow into adulthood we tend to lose that sense of wonder. I want my boys to pull me back into that wonderful state with them. 

I want their nature jar to always be full.
