This afternoon I broke free for a few minutes to go to my Little Sister’s Halloween Parade at school – fun! My weekly lunch with her yesterday was great, too. Since I had bought her a bag of Halloween stuff (which she loved), I let her go ahead and have the school lunch. Part of that was broccoli, which she explained to me she hated, and I confessed that I did, too. But then she told me that since the stuff makes you healthy, she was going to eat it anyway – and she did eat most of it, making this horrible face with every bite! I love her attitude, which is especially surprising in someone so young. Even though it was rainy (AGAIN), the kids were able to play in the gym after lunch, now that they have a brand-new separate lunch room. Turns out she’s a helluva jump roper, too! :)

I feel so blessed to be able to have this unexpected relationship.
