snipbits and morsels, things to mull
October 16, 2008 at 11:42 PM i'm feeling pretty grateful right now.
.:my grandma is in town from alaska. i don't get to see her very often, but i cherish my time with her. i see so much of what i want to be and what i think i am in her.
.:toe print socks
.:harmony now does baby sit ups. she'll be laying flat on her back in her crib and i'll hear her grunt and she sits straight up. then she'll flop back with a giggle and do it again and again and again.
.:wendy witch, running through yards in the black of night with a 6 year old in tow.
.:pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. cheater version: 1 spice cake mix, 1 can pumpkin, mini chocolate chips; 350 for 14 minutes. yum yum and more yums. i double this bad boy.
.:hamper love
.:happy mail: packages, envelopes, cards, postcards... all sent out into this great world of ours. reach out and squam someone.
.:snacks made exclusively from non-toxic markers. (not to mention my cute neice)
.:art dates with my husband. he says when he's done, "this painting thing is a lot harder than it looks." i just smile and love him a little more.
.:story time with auntie:
.:while getting dressed this morning G says to me, "is that you bwa? is that to keep you boobs fwom faw-wing down?"
.:screaming banshee halloween. it's so true, so fitting, so funny. thank you nina beana. we can't stop watching it. this really is exactly how our halloween is, times four. they cry all.day.long. i dress them up, do their makeup, drag them to parties, bundle them up (covering their costumes) and drag them from house to house. then we come home, i eat their candy, and i cry from exhaustion.

What a great weekend. Thanks for sharing.
Love the foot print sock! So cute. :)
And i posted another SNL skit on the latest debate- you're right, totally funny stuff!
jenica!!!!! how are you?
i love your little storys. they
crack me up.
so whats going on there today?
Hope your bwa is holding up well!
I love that pumpkin cookie recipe. In fact, I have the stuff to make them, and I've been debating whether I should use them for family and friends or make them for myself. Tough choice since I love feeding other people, but stuffing my own face is my priority.
A whole houseful of love and fun and things that tug at my heart.
This is a beautiful list, thank you. And I LOVE the Screaming Banshee - she cracks me up every time!
Hugs to you,

I wish I still lived in UT, so I could hang out with you and steal your good vibes. This post was mom-tastic and glamomorous!
You really have a sweet outlook on life. Thinking of you.
I want to make white chicken chili with pumpkin cookies for dinner tonight! Yummy!
What would we do without bwa's? Our boobs would be faw-wing all over the place!
I love your description of Halloween!
Have fun with your grandma!

Gorgeous, cute, beautiful post that brought a HUGE smile to my face. Beautiful Jenica.
I loved the screaming banshee! I also love the songs on your music player! Sometimes I listen to your player while I cook dinner. I see you haven't lost your good taste in music. Happy Halloween!
such a fun-filled post! perhaps i'll start having "art dates" with my husband...thanks for the idea :)
