I want to remember...

 The creativity of this little girl...
Making special spaces that involve every blanket and cushion in the house but captivate and entertain her and her little brother for hours... Today was a spider web for her lizard... Room rearranged, knots tied and decorations added... What a lucky mama I am to watch this girl move, dance and create in this world of ours...

Instead of a mama guided craft activity today, it was a big sister made activity. She colored sheets of paper with wing, leg, shoe, dress and face templates (you could choose your expression) and then she cut out the ones we wanted and helped us glue them to the board. She then decorated our board and wrote our names on them... I am in awe of her and her imagination... I just want to sit back and watch it grow, and oh, how it is growing...

I want to remember...

::That these winter days have been filled with so much fun and silliness...
::The kids are always in their underpants, painting, drawing, making lots of "special spaces" and playing together so sweetly...

 ::Baking and making are on our list of priorities and many days are spent making one good treat or another... This is a perfect companion to nauseous mama's need for food to fill her always rocking belly - who knew morning sickness existed?!
::I have two sweet little loves who are always ready to curl up in bed with me and read a thousand books, cuddle and just be close...
::Kasper's wildfire combined with AnaSofia's quick wit and sweetness have made this winter without a lot of snow so special. Indoors we have been, cuddling and loving one another as best as we can... I do love them so!
