motherhood= delish!

I have days where I soak up the sweetness and savor each tiny bit of my little kids; their laughter, their imagination, their energy. Sometimes it is just so sweet! Other days there are the aches from too much sweetness, and I almost get a tummy-ache from it all; too much energy, too much (loud) laughter and to much imaginative play.
This week has been 7 full days of sweetness! I feel so blessed! It is almost as yummy as P.F. Chang's "Great Wall of Chocolate!" I love that dessert! Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, with a bit of strawberries and raspberries to cut the sweetness, and a crunch of chocolate chip! Delish! :) (If you haven't had it....you have to try it)!

Jack is a  typical boy, but he has been a show-off lately; he dances for anyone who will watch. He talks and tells stories to anyone who will listen. Most of all, he laughs as much as any little boy I have ever seen. However, my favorite thing that (my little man) Jack does, would have to be the cheesy smiles he gives me when he asks me for something. For instance, the boy is obsessed with fruit snacks which he simply calls "Snack!" When he really wants one he will look at me with pleading eyes and say, "Mommy, snack?" and then add a cheesy smile on top, for the perfect ingredient for a "yes." It is hard to say "no" to that!

Bailey has many yummy things about her that I adore! Her laughter is infectious and I cannot watch her laugh and at least not smile! I LOVE watching her dance! She is so talented! I love watching her from a distance and just witnessing how big she is and the little girl she is turning into. I love seeing her excited about something, her whole face lights up with the pure joy only a kid can express. I think my favorite thing about her would have to be how compassionate and loving she is. She does not like to see anyone in pain or anyone who is sad. She has a huge heart!
One of the yummiest things from either child would have to be when I get a hug or what we call a "squeeze"  and a simple "I love you." Being a mom really can be delicious!

Floppy hat or just Floppy the clown...?





So I love this hat....but I put it on and I feel like a clown in it....What do you think? Floppy hats...are they a silly fad or highly functional piece of fashion for the beach? I would love one for the cruise I am going on...and Hawaii...but not sure...I think some girls can pull it off...not me, probably.

A fun family day…

Today we had a fun day…one of those “I am so happy to be a mom” days and it reminded me that I haven’t posted pics of  Disney on Ice …mind you, by the end I was exhausted and we were all a bit cranky and tired, but it was fun!

We went to Mimi’s before and had to take a picture of Jack in front of the sign bc he calls his binkie “Mimi”
