spending everyday with these two. we have our 'not so good moments too' but- big picture, waking up and spending my day with them- well...it really doesn't get much better than that.
kissing sweet chunky cheeks, listening to toddler tales and jibber jaber, hearing sweet laughter among brothers, tickles, kisses for boo boos, and hugs for tears. tending to little ones, (God's sweet gifts). If only I could bottle up lucas' coos and jibber jabber while he eats. If only I could hear forever Caleb's sweet words and the things he comes up with on a daily basis that crack us up. If only I could kiss the chub and smell sweet baby scents forever....if only. I try and remember these things on the days where the mundane like another load of laundry, cleaning up crumbs for the umpteen time, washing sticky hands and wiping dirty faces gets the best of me...these everyday little things make up my life right now. But they fill it up big. And i'm ever so grateful to dave for being able to support us so that i can stay home and wash sticky fingers and wipe away sad tears. I am forever grateful for these days with my boys. They are so precious to me.
moving on.
i'm loving my Pioneer Woman cookbook that I found at the library yesterday. OHhhhhh so worth the toddler tantrum! We made these this morning.

I told dave they would knock his socks off...and if he happened to be having a not so great day...it'd get 100 % better after popping one of these sweeties in his mouth...I even made him bring one for a friend. And because I can attest to being a disaster in the kitchen, I'll have it be known that they came out delish! and tasted every bit as wonderful as they looked...there were no kitchen disasters for me this morning I am happy to say ;)
Not only does the Pioneer Woman have a cookbook, she's got a blog ya'll! right here . And saturday morning...she's on the cooking channel..I'll definitely have to watch her in action! I've just added her to my 'I'd die' if I got to meet in person list!' After eating one...(okay 2!) of these mouth watering creations, I've decided my run tonight better be extra fast and extra long to have even the smallest possibility of burning some of the calories I just consumed (lots of butter and sugar in this dish) but oh so worth it!
So that's what I'm loving right now. My boys and baking :) Life's simple pleasures! What are you loving right now?
oh yes! We make those 'puff's often in the winter. They are better than donuts!!!
