Warm and Fuzzy moments

You know those warm and fuzzy moments when your precious children do and/or say something that melts your heart? It leaves you feeling all warm and gooey inside like a chocolate chip cookie straight from the oven? If you painted a picture of your family in that moment, everyone would walk by it and smile.  We have moments like that, only there is a few egg shells in the cookies and someone didn't quite draw in the lines.


Post bath snuggle:
   Both kids had finished their baths and were all wrapped up in  fuzzy towels to dry off.  They snuggled next to each other on my lap as they dried off.  And no surprise here, we were watching a Wiggles clip on You Tube.  They were sitting so nicely. Nathan saw something funny and pointed it out to Syd. Then he looked over at her with total adoration and huge cheesy grin.  I sighed and thought what a perfect moment. Wait a sec! What? Why is my leg getting warm? NOOOOOO!!!! Nathan peed on me!!


Hanging out before bed:
  We've all been hanging out and giggling as we played with a silly phone app.  It repeated back everything we said in a squeaky voice, even Nathan's hysterical gibberish.  Usually one kid climbs on me and then the other has to follow.  Nathan ran off to climb something and my little buddy Sydney leans her head on my shoulder.  She's drinking her milk and talking with me.  I just love to watch the expressions on her face and what she has to say. She's just so sweet I can't stand it. As I watch her with such adoration, she knocks over her milk and drenches the second pair of pants I put on that day and the couch. Thank goodness my socks were freakishly absorbent otherwise we would have been smelling sour milk in cracks and crevices of the couch.

Stocking stuffers gone wrong:
     I was folding blankets and Nathan was fanning me with this little fan that was attached to some candy.  He was cracking himself up!  He fanned my nose! He fanned my eyes! This was some serious funny stuff!  I'm was smiling and loving the belly laughs and WHAM!!

yup, he decided to fan my hair

good thing I have a lot a hair

Now mom, I know you are reading this and worrying if I am mad at you for buying the fans and pulling out your cell phone as we speak. Relax! I am not mad! It didn't hurt and it was funny.  Now I expect that you are contemplating texting to ask if you annoy me when you check to make sure I am not mad about something :) Man, I know you so well!
