The Good Life

The life of a four year old is certainly the good life. While Darin was stuck in traffic for 2 hours and I was pacing the floor with cold dinner on the table, Miriam danced, sang, filled the bird feeders, snuck finger swipes of whipped cream, and created a new food show.


Honeysuckle flowers really do taste like honey on the ends.


Miriam collected a whole bag full. Half were for the families she and Darin went home teaching to, and the other half were for a new recipe on her cooking show "Cooking Like Miriam".


Miriam painted a clock this week, went to a swim party, had a picnic at the park and...



created a new way of setting the table for extra fancy evenings.


By the way - In American English “snuck” has become increasingly common as the past tense of “sneak.” This is one of many cases in which people’s humorously self-conscious use of dialect has influenced others to adopt it as standard and it is now often seen even in sophisticated writing in the U.S. But it is safer to use the traditional form: “sneaked.”
