Our afternoon...

This afternoon was one of those times when I couldn't be more thankful to be a stay at home mom. Owen actually took a nap (which is a rare occurrance) and Silas woke up from his nap in a really sweet mood, so I get to spend some precious one-on-one time with my youngest boy. Since it was raining out, I decided to make some molasses crinkles to make the house smell warm and cozy. Silas helped me bake the cookies for the first time...he even sat still on the counter as long as I kept feeding him bites of dough. He later opened the door to let himself outside. After a few minutes of it being a little too quiet, I took a peak outside to see that he had found himself a good mud puddle to play in. Man, I love having boys! We finally finished up the afternoon with a bath in the kitchen sink. Seriously, sometimes I just want to put life on pause and today was definitely one of those times.

P.S. You should know that I chose not to put a post up yesterday afternoon, one filled with lots of fit throwing, crying, and impatience from all of us.
