a post of mini's~

first off i forgot to post pictures of the boys early party with my parents to celebrate their birthday. curls saw the thomas cake and kept saying "mom, party cake please" it was very cute. anyways here is a picture of them blowing their candles out!

yeah i know the three and two are weird, but i didn't want it to look like they were turning 32obviously delicious!

so today i picked up something at the store that i thought the boys would enjoy playing with. while curls and i played rewind was napping. he has been really struggling with allergies, poor little guy takes after me, so i just let him rest. anyways this is what curls and i were playing with.

( just in case your wondering my children do wear clothing. it just seems like as soon as we got home the somehow shed it)

so curls and i were playing and i had the tv on. i was watching oprah which i know it sounds like i watch it all the time but really i don't. i just happen to catch a show hear or there that i think sounds interesting. anyways i was watching and it was talking about mothers are like warriors and how they would do anything for their children. the comment that stood out to me was not meant in the context from which the person speaking was coming from but still it kind of sparked a little thought. here it goes...

"if you are miserable in your life, what good are you to your children"

now the reason that this stuck out to me, is because recently it seems as if i know or have heard overwhelming amounts of stories of people staying in marriages they are miserable in, or things happening with in families that makes life miserable. now please don't misunderstand me, i am not saying everyone needs to run out and get a divorce. i feel like that should be a last option, however i found the quote above interesting and have been thinking about it since. how do you fix that. if you are miserable in your marriage, and divorce is not something you are interested in, how do you still stay positive and happy for your kids? i am not sure if this is making sense-just something that has been running through my mind today.

cookie pizza

i have had a couple of my blog readers =) ask about this or ask for the recipe. i will either post it on here or email it to you. hopefully soon. my days seem to be getting away from me. a side note to this is that the elder we made this for called me this afternoon to say thanks and that it made his day. he is a nice guy and leaves tomorrow to go home. it has been fun getting to know him.

last little thing is that i felt the baby move for the first time yesterday. i always love this stage when you start to feel the baby move. i think it makes it more real and exciting. it did not last very long, just a few little flutters, but still very fun.
