If you Give a Mom a Muffin...

If you give a mom a muffin
She'll want a cup of coffee (cocoa) to go with it.
She'll pour herself some.
The cocoa will get spilled by her three year old.
She'll wipe it up.

Wiping the floor, she will find some dirty socks.
She'll remember she has to do some laundry.
When she puts the laundry in the washer,
she'll trip over some boots and bump into the freezer.
Bumping into the freezer will remind her she has to plan supper for tonight.

She will get out a pound of hamburger.
She'll look in her cookbook. (101 Things to Make with A Pound of Hamburger)
The cookbook is siting under a pile of mail.
She will see the phone bill which is due tomorrow.
She will look for her checkbook.
The checkbook is in her purse that is being dumped out by her two year old.

She'll smell something funny.
She'll change the two year old.
While she is changing the two year old the phone will ring, of course!
Her five year old will answer it and hang up.
She remembers that she wants to phone a friend to come to cocoa on Friday.

Thinking of cocoa will remind her that she was going to have a cup.
She will pour herself some. And chances are, if she has a cup of cocoa,
Her kids will have eaten the muffin that went with it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIVI!

Our sweet angel is 5 years old today!! I can't believe how fast the time has gone and that it has been 5 whole years!
We have been so blessed to have her in our home and we love her so much!

We love our little blond haired, blue-eyed beauty!

Christmas Tree and Luke

We bought the bigger (pre-lit) tree two years ago when we moved to Kansas City. We thought that the kids needed a tree to decorate ALL by themselves, so we bought the smaller one this year...I came home from Enrichment last Thursday and it was up and I was SO IMPRESSED with the kids! I couldn't stop smiling...traditions are being made.
Luke being a fantastic dad and snuggling the kids. He continues to impress me every day. He works so hard and is such a great dad! We love you luke!
Please dismiss the dirty room :) This is Spencer and Luke cuddling before bed. Spencer LOVES his daddy and I just LOVE the arm around the neck holding on for dear life!

I'm in love!

I thought this was SUCH an appropriate post with all the holiday eating! This scale is amazing! It never tells you how much you weigh, it claps if you lose weight and gives you advice if you have gained! This is a must have in our family....
