Meet Red.
Red needed a bath.
Husband promises daughter she can help when he comes home from work.
Husband comes home from a long day at work, tired.
He pulls out the bucket at which point I tell him to wait on me to get my camera {at this point I am sure I got an eye roll or something!}
He proceeds to wash the truck.
While this may seem like a meaningless evening. It turned into a special time for all of us. It was a moment that turned into a memory. 3 kids watching daddy work hard even after working hard all day. The discovery and thrill of a 14 month old who learned how much fun a puddle was. And 3 kids drenched head to toe in muddy soapy water.
Some meaningless moments can turn into memories and stories worth telling... stories worth remembering.
If you let them.
