Want to join in? Go here to learn how and to view the weekly list Small Talk Six topics for 2009.
Today’s topic is the “6 things that never fail to make you smile.” You can answer this with a list of 6 words, 6 phrases, 6 sentences, 6 paragraphs, 6 photos, 6 videos, etc . . .
This week was an easy one for me. Thinking of six things was a piece of cake. Maybe I should have put a disclaimer that we can’t talk about our children this week? Anyways, here are my six . . .
1) Tickling my children and hearing them giggle with glee.
2) When my dear husband surprises me by coming home from work early. Yeah, I’m usually happy to see him, but I smile because that means I get a break for a little while.
3) Watching what my 5yr old does when he thinks he’s alone.
4) Watching my children interact when they are being kind and gentle towards each other and our pets. (Not when they are fighting over toys or chasing the cat with the plastic frying pan.)
5) When I wake up peacefully on my own in the morning rather than being awaken by kids yelling, a dog barking, or the phone ringing.
6) When my husband stubs his toe. I know that sounds mean, but he stubs his toe A LOT and it’s become an unspoken joke.
Now go post your own list on your blog (don’t forget to grab a button) and then leave the direct link to your post on Mr. Linky. Then go check out everyone else’s Small Talk Six lists and leave them a comment so they know you stopped by.
MR LINKY IS DOWN, WILL BE UP SOON
Opps…forgot to hit participant!
It’s usually me that stubs toes in our house! OUCH! lol
Sorry I forgot to check the Mr. Linky that lets you just leave your link directly. I’ll do better next week.
Wrong URL, sorry.
I have to admit I laugh when my husband hurts himself too. But it’s okay,he laughs at me too.
Mr. Linky doesn’t work for me. So I’m posting my link here. Hope it’s ok.

I have to say I agree with almost all of the things on your list.
Yeah, it would have been a little harder if we had to leave our children off our lists!

Tickling my kids is one of my favs too.
Great list!

Here’s my Small Talk Six… http://blog.christyscreations.com/?p=1071
This was a fun and easy list for Saturday! I love your last one, too. Unfortunately, I am the toe-stubber in our relationship.
Great list. I decided to join in this week!
I like your list. My kids know how to make me smile also. I’m the accident prone one in the family.
You have a great list! I love watching what my kids do when they think they are alone, too!
I had to giggle at the last one. My hubby smacks his arm off the basement doorknob *every* time he walks past-and I smile every single time. So I know where you’re coming from!
I like that last one. I too smile at what my son does when he thinks he is alone. I loved this topic. Have a nice weekend!!
Love your list! My DH gets hurt alot. I swear he is accident prone, lol.
