the daily's

we've adjusted to "family mornings."
where everyone is up at once-
trying to get out the door to their proper place....


with the proper amount of slobbery two year old kisses and hugs.....




mr.m. & i have figured out-
it's wise to have the coffee machine already brewing by the time
our darling crew bounces down the stairs....


they're ready to embrace the day...
whether this not-such-morning-mama is ready...or not.
{and an immediate cup of coffee, or two....or three...sure helps!}




we've told each other a thousand times how thankful we are for our basement.
the wrestle zone-
the ball throwing zone-
the crazy room....




it's such a blessing on these colder days...
to be able to say..."littles' please go toddler, preschooler, kindergarten'er nuts"...
in the basement.
and then- just let them....really.
unless there are tears....it's a free for all-


so if you're joining in....you'd better come with your big kid boots on.


and then-
we're still making, baking, dipping and glazing a lot...




and savoring every bite!
