OK... this is a TRUE story.
I teach special ed 3-5 yo children.
We use visuals (picture images) frequently to strengthen communication.
One we have (and use!) is a "don't pick your nose" image.
Imagine my surprise when I found myself in a moment when I needed a variation of that visual... I needed a "don't pick someone else's nose" visual!
Ewwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!! That is gross but funny.
It is quirky little moments like this that keep me teaching.
Other than that- I LOVE my pets too. As I sit here my Cavalier puppy is snuggled up next to me snoozing.

I may be the polar opposite of you three! i am glad I do not have a pet most days! When my DD's were home, we always had something or another: dogs, cats, aligators, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, fish, pot belly pig, horses, goats, snakes to name the most memorable ones.
Pet ownership had its bright moments..but I would wish I could turn them off and put them in the closet now and then. The mess is very much not missed.
Anyway.
Nowadays, my GS's, my DD's, My DH...time spent with any or all of them are my favoriest things ever.
Closely followed by music of all kinds and my friends & family.
touched by the hand of God lots.
being outside every day.
coffee every morning.
stacks of books by my bed.
my car.
my bike.
my clothes.
my home.
my jewelry.
my rocks. not diamonds, my agates & stuff.

Dude, i was once laying about the floor watching tube one lazy ole night. I see "sumthin" out of the corner of my eye....I turn to look...it is that lil ******* cayman alligator (14" long), who had jumped out of his terrarium!
Don't think mama didn't tweak a nut that night.

Cute little family ya have there. I have two very hairy shelties and a spoiled rotten cat. But I want a pig!! I'm jealous Necee, we don't have pet pigs here. Keep telling my husband we have to move so I can get me a pig....that would make me smile.
But I would have to say my family is by far the most important thing that makes me smile. My kids of course, because well...they are my little angels! I just love watching them grow up and watch them explore their worlds. Each one has a different way of looking at life, and I'm just always in awe watching them.
My other half..my hubby. He is the best thing that has happened in my life. He's my soul mate who I just have to look at and I instantly smile. How can ya deny a mentor, lover, and a best friend all rolled into one! :)
Shopping!! I love to shop. I can shop for HOURS and it takes away all my aches, pains, and worries. So I would have to say shopping most definitely makes me smile.
Old stuff...old buildings, 18th and 19th century ANYTHING. I'm one who instead of watches the movie looks at the buildings and decor. I'm literally engrossed with these time eras. Everything about it makes me smile.
