Ever After

Sometimes I feel like I should be the one on the naughty spot–like the time last week that I sent Vivi to the naughty spot and then forgot about her. Needless to say, every time I look at this sweet picture, I feel a twinge of guilt. It’s hard to imagine that this sleeping angel [...]

There goes Farmer Cottontail Chasing down the bunny’s trail Flippity Floppin’, the farmer’s on his way! Running out to hunt ‘em down, In Guppy’s shoes, he is a clown! Flippity Floppin’, makin’ those bunnies pay!

Kind–Never a harsh word have I heard come from her mouth Loving–Always thinking of others’ feelings Beautiful–Inside and out!
