5 favorite things...september 7, 2008

  • primary songs, nothing invites the spirit into a room quicker than a group of primary children singing "I Am A Child of God".
  • sugar, it's been one of those weeks.
  • that feel good, satisfaction, feeling....Luke did his first real job for my neighbor (watered her lawn and flowers while she was away for the past 2 1/2 weeks) and she paid him. it was so fun to watch his face light up when she gave him some money and thanked him for a job well done. i was also impressed at how well he did the job. i didn't even have to nag him to go and take care of her yard, so nice.
  • play groups. i've been meeting with a group of ladies at a park after school lets out on wednesdays and it's been soooo nice. it's seems like forever since i've been to a playgroup where the kids all play and the moms get to sit around and chit chat, lovely.
  • birthdays. today is emry's birthday and it's been so fun. every time anyone says happy birthday to her she just gets this shy little smile that slowly spreads across her face. adorable.

I made plain ole chocolate chip cookies last night. I mixed in white chocolate chips with the regular chips. When they came out of the oven they were a smidge underbaked, but I didn't know till we began to eat them. Cesar had *three, 3, three* cookies and then he announced that they were too sweet.

Why can't he appreciate sugar?

Hey Millie, send our love and Birthday wishes to Emry!! Big John will be turning 2 at the end of the month, and I just can't believe how time marches on.

I miss our playdates! I think about the apple orchard and pumpkin patches, and can't help but think of you!
