One of My Favorite-est Things To Do...

The boys are out front, completely absorbed in building their snow fort. They are taking it seriously, like so many engineers. After an hour or so, the front door opens and a single pair of boots tromp in. I don't need to see him, each little sound tells me it is Sawyer. Being the youngest, the cold has taken it's toll on him first. After he has shed his winter layers, he pads up to me and I get to do my favorite thing- scoop up a cold boy and warm him up again. The tinge of red on his ears and his frozen little hands melt away in Momma's lap. No words. Just the comfort of knowing- Home.

So, did you fix him a cup of hot chocolate and maybe some cookies? What a cutie he is!

You know, it's ok if you are in a picture or 2 :))

Yep, those are big here, hot chocolate and cookies. My pic on the blog...not so big. Maybe if I looked as radiant as you!

YES, he's a cutie, like Cherie says. YES, more pics of you! YES, Cherie looks RADIANT in all her pics.

"ciestu" cool-looking word. I still have the flu and can't be creative. Sorry.

LOL The only reason I put up any of my pictures is so my grandkids won't forget me! Radiant??? Hardly!
