Feb. 1, 2008 - Lazy Days of Winter
So yesterday was one of those days that I absolutely cherish.....
The husband came home early (10 ish am) and Aidan the Fierce was horribly sick....that part I would change if I could of course.....but praise be to God that he has been fever/vomit free for almost 24 hours now! It's so funny how our brains work as moms. We let him sleep with us last night and I was up, every 5 minutes I believe, thinking that he was throwing up! The husband was giving him a drink at some point and laughed hysterically at me because he said I sat straight up in bed in a panic. I was even dreaming about it. Guess cleaning sheets is not on the list of my favorite things to do!
Ok, I deviated a little from our day....I tend to ramble. Not one person in this house got dressed all day long! Love lazy days!!! Even the husband changed into pj's when he got home. I put on a big pot of homeade pasta sauce with meatballs....which simmers all day long making my house smell like Little Italy!
Tyler the Prodigy actually sat and read a book most of his free time (without threat of tying him to a chair).....that was enough to blow me over! This kid is super intelligent but hates to read (I hate to admit he so gets that from me!) However I found this new series of books for boys thanks to JenIG........Kingdoms Series. They are described as "Pilgrims Progress for the X-Box Generation" He loves them and just finished the first book at bedtime last night! I am so super proud of him. And Maggie the Visionary just picked up her first Boxcar Children book and was still reading it at bedtime last night! She loved it.....and more than that, she said,"there isn't one word yet that I can't read mom!"
Maggie the Visionary had to read and follow a recipe for her math and mom was craving something chocolate so she agreed to make moms Weight Watchers mini chocolate chip cookies. What a good girl! 
We had the best time in the kitchen.....I was stirring my sauce and she was stirring her cookies alongside of me....does life get any sweeter? I think not!
The finished product.....and only 1 point per 2 cookies!
Aidan the Fierce vegged out to Bibleman most of the day and we all put together a USA puzzle and talked a bit about state capitals...... played a few rounds of Uno Attack.....and Family Feud....Pasta was awesome and cookies were the perfect sweet tooth tamer!
Gosh, why can't every day be like this????? I am so stinkin blessed!
