Finding Joy - Week 5

The joys:

*pyramid building
* morgan's gym hosted a meet this past weekend so we spent friday morning having "home ec"... lots of baking.  scotcheroos, chocolate chip cookies, cinnamon rolls, revel bars, puppy chow, and caramel corn
 * i love that my kids love to be in the kitchen and bake with me.  they also did a great job of packaging all our baked goods to sell
* mauryn did her job... she was our entertainment. singing and dancing her little heart out
* my kids have great friends who have great families
* the parents on morgan's gymnastics team who love my little ones and treat them as their own
 * turning on my camera and finding these attempts at self portraits
 * landon and mauryn asked the other morning if they could make a fort and it took everything in me to say yes... and it was worth it. it kept them busy and brought them so much joy.
* a phone call from denise which always comes at the right time
 * finding a beloved stuffed animal tucked in on the couch
 * mauryn creating a bed and snuggling up with her stuffed animals to share a story
 * after fighting a cold all week and a busy weekend, i woke up sunday morning feeling awful.  i had a quiet morning at home resting and reading.  i snuggled up with mauryn for a much needed afternoon nap.  i love naps so that was a joy to get a nap.  i woke up from my nap to find that lance brought me a fountain soda... yeah!
* watching the super bowl in my pajamas
* mauryn rocking and mothering her baby
 * watching Landon watching the super bowl and seeing him understand the game
* my iphone arrived in the mail... big yeah!

what were your joys this week?

My joy this week was seeing my kids faces when I told them that they had mail (Landon & Morgan's letters)!

I know what a good baker you are so I have to ask, what are revel bars?

Take care - Stacey
