Pink Piggies

Pink piggies, like mama. :)

The joy of the boy...

57/365

Sort of a personal and sweet story. Last night, the boy crawled up into my lap on the rocking chair. I showed him on the clock when it would be bed time. He agreed to the terms. I started to sing to him. I sang, "Oh so nice", "Always", "I am a Child of God", "A Child's Prayer", and "Heavenly Father Loves me." I asked him what his favorite song was and we sang a round of "Jingle Bells".

I asked him what his favorite part of the day was. On Sat we had gone to Lehi Days. We rode pony's and petted animals in the petting zoo. We ate huge bags of cotton candy. 

You know what his answer was? 

"Singing."

That moment, that sweet little moment with my precious miracle boy wrapped in my lap was his favorite moment of the day. 

 I worry about being enough. I pray to be enough. I pray to do better. It was like an answer to prayers. 

I am enough.

I am so thankful to be his mama.

Getting it together...

 Trying to get the blanket together.

Doodle trying to hold it together. 

I love that she puts her hand over her mouth when she laughs. So cute.

Dirt

Sometimes you just have to get out of the norm and go get in some dirt.

The most important meal of the day...

54/365

Breakfast. I wanted to catch the intensity with which Moonpie eats. He examines everything thoroughly and he nibbles to make sure it's palatable, and he makes a face only the most skilled food critic can make. I don't think I caught it, but breakfast was fun to catch anyway. :)

We had St. Patty's day Lucky charms. Maybe marshmallows negate the need to study food, it must be good so just dive in, am I right? J told the kids the story of Hansel and Gretel while we ate, but used them as the stars of the story and they were enthralled. I love watching them listen to their dad spin a yarn. The boy was trying to retell it and it's just adorable.

I am still trying to love church. I guess it's good that I am trying. The kids were not horrible today so that's an improvement, I could hear the speakers, mostly... but the kids in nursery were horrible. Never the non horrible shall meet I suppose. It's more about my attitude than anything. I am going to have to go all former preschool teacher on my class. Bust out the poster board!

Also, I made pies. And that makes things better. They were probably some of my best. Well, I can't speak to one of them, we didn't have enough people for dinner to break into a second one.

Breakfast with a dash of regret, but mostly breakfast. :)

Flinging Pooh...

53/365

J got the kids wrangled into the crib for a fun game of pooh toss. He's a genius, kept them all in one spot and happy for a while.

It's all fun and games until...

The lip.

But they got over it and had more fun.

If you are going to fling pooh, this is the way to do it. Much better than the actual poo I was cleaning up yesterday. *shudders*

up all night

A certain little monster kept me up all night and I didn't get a picture today but one of him in his diaper and a plant outside. Long long super long day. I would post the diaper pic, but creepers and what not so you get this. It was a long day but the kids were suprisingly nice considering the lack of sleep and I held it together (mostly) too.  Teamwork. *insert The boy's thumbs up and cheesy smile here*
