Little Ones

Croz and "new puppy"



Mignon McLaughlin, journalist and author, said: "Only where children gather is there any real chance of fun."



I love kids. I always have. Truly I could spend longer than the average person around kids because I am just in love with them. Their sense of what's around them is so pure and uninhibited. I wish this would always be so throughout their lives. For instance, I never want Croz to feel like it's weird to feed his stuffed animals.

Anyway... speaking of fun!



Cupcakes are one of my favorites. I had to bake (surprise surprise) the other day. Codi & Lucy happened to be swinging by to play that day, and when Lucy took her coat off and my eyes beheld this AMAZING shirt, I about jumped for joy. Cheeseball of me, I know, but really... how CUTE can she be?! We decided on blue-frosted cupcakes with sparkly white sprinkles. So January!



Waking up to the big snow on Sunday morning was actually a delight because D could be home to stay in with Lennox while Croz and I played (and shoveled) our hearts out. He was in great need of a snow romp.



And so eager to shovel! He demanded that I use his wooden spoon to "shovel" while he used the real shovel. Can't blame him! I think that wooden spoon trick's getting old.



Croz was standing under a tree and I couldn't resist banging the snow off the branches above him so it would snow on him. As I started to do that though, he looked up at the tree and a huge layer of snow heaped all over his bare face! As soon as I started laughing, he did too. What a baby guy. I love him to pieces. We had so much fun spending time in the sun and snow.
