Statue of Liberty

Tomorrow (October 28) is Statue of Liberty Day. I took the opportunity to have some fun with Owen and Emma! Owen painted his torch then we dressed up! He insisted I participate and he take the picture.

She really tried!

ugh!

can't understand why this wasn't the original design?

Like Mother Like Daughter

Unfortunately Emma loves cookies just as much as her mommy!

Cuddles

I hope that Owen never gets to big to cuddle (I know he will), but it is so wonderful when he gets up in the morning and wants to sit on my knee and be held. I could handle this for a lot longer! He is such a joy!

Mundane things

Why is it that mundane things must take up so much of our time? I get so tired of balancing the check book, folding socks and tshirts, sweeping the floor after Emma and Owen eat. I begin to wonder if any of this really matters. On days like today when I'm just...blah, I don't want to do any of it. I want my fairy godmother to come in, wave a wand and fix all that is in disarray in my home. Then I promise myself, it will never get like that again. I'll keep all of the papers filed, wipe up every mess, iron laundry as soon as it comes out of the dryer. I doubt I would, but I'll never know because there is no fairy god mother with a wand.
