My Lazy day.

I was such a sloth today! Thanks to Jaime, I started the Twilight series *wow* Okay, I know I'm one of the last people on earth to become obsessed with these books, but I'm usually a very casual reader! It takes a lot for a book to really grab me! I started this book Friday night about 11 p.m. and I'm on page 376 already! That is so not like me! I'm neither a fast reader nor a committed reader. I usually read on my 15 minute breaks at work and...well...other than that, only when I'm really bored! It's not uncommon for me to take up to 6 months to finish a book! But I've been glued to this book all weekend! Only managing to pry myself away for absolute necessities like feeding my family, using the bathroom and sleeping! *lol* I'm exaggerating of course! I did do other things this weekend: we had dinner with friends both Friday and Saturday night, I went to a baby shower, went to church and we took the kids to the park.

Enough about me, lets talk about the kids!

I don't know if they are getting cuter (if that's even possible) or if I'm just emotional and feeling especially gushy over every little thing lately, but they amaze me! So here are a couple pictures I took over the weekend. Just simple things that made me smile.

Today while I was slothing on the couch with my nose in that book Jenalyn wanted me to play with her so I slyly suggested that we play library *heehee* so she brought out some books, set them up, and even made a sign. She explained that the sign says, "Don't be loud!" "Be Quiet!" and "Don't rip the books!" ...and after daddy came and decided to do a little teasing, it also said, "No stealing books!" *lol*

Corbin LOVES his blankie! He can't sleep without it. It will be interesting this summer to see how he does in the yucky, sticky heat with his blankie wrapped around his head and shoulders (like he normally sleeps)! I don't normally let him drag it around the house because it just kinda grosses me out to have blankets drug over the dirty floor and then snuggled...but today...like I said before, I'm a little mushy...I got him up from his nap and he wouldn't let got of it! He kept saying, "blankie come too!" *lol* so I let him drag it around the house! He's my little Linus! He has always loved his blankie! Here's some pictures from today:
I love that he's holding his sippy cup without dropping the blanket! When I handed it to him I was wondering if he would choose his beloved milk over his beloved blankie! I guess not!

This is a picture I took a couple days ago during his nap:
Seriously - how cute is that? Oh my gosh!

A couple more things that made me melt this weekend: We had dinner with our friends, Keith & Marlo on Saturday night. After dinner we decided to go for a walk to the park. Soon after we set out, Keith let out a deep, heavy sigh. Corbin looked up to him and, so clearly and so grown up, said, "Are you tired?" Okay...maybe you had to be there! But it just sounded so attentive and concerned for a 2-year-old *awe* it was just so sweet!

Yesterday we were having scrambled eggs for lunch after church. Jason sneezed and in the midst of Corbin shoveling food into his mouth - using both hands and NO FORK - he mumbled, "Bless you, Daddy!"

Okay, I think I just confirmed for everyone that I'm just being emotional and extra gushy over my kids lately. Those were extremely simple things that made my heart melt. But it amazes me how caring and loving my Corbin is! I hope he never grows out of that!
