Sticky Hands and Messy Faces

The last two weeks have been extremely emotionally and physically draining for me. Keep watching for stories and pictures of all the fun we have had; it has been a lot of fun but very draining. And here's what I concluded from it all:

I love chubby sticky hands and messy dimple smiles
I enjoy pulling over to look at horses, motorcycles, construction sites and bridal shops
I like searching the skies for airplanes and dirt for bugs
I LOVE rediscovering this beautiful world I've grown accustomed to
My favorite songs are made up
The best explanations of a tornado come from a 5 year old
2 year olds give the best hugs and kisses (but it takes a lot of courage to brave them sometimes)
I LOVE being a mom of little kids because all of the crazy, messy, whining that comes with it could never EVER out weight the cuddles, sounds and joy of small children
And most of all, I need to go to bed earlier!!!!!

What's your favorite part of raising/hanging out with little ones?

Some of my favorite things…. -Kids say some funny things!!! like that my head is stuck (thank goodness) or that Benjamin is a "big cheese sandwich" -They stop and smell the roses. When I feel like Daxton is going to slow I try and remember he has not seen everything yet so he is learning and loving everything and I forget that sometimes. -When kids say "prayer". if it can be called that sometimes. -Having Hope smile at me when I go pick her up from bed.

We sure had fun having Jessie at our house. I think Bill finally realized that he is going to like being a grandpa.

Enjoy those beautiful little kids.
