I feel like I never have a spare moment right now. But I had to take a moment to capture a
tender moment with Collin. I got out of
work early on Friday and took the boys to the park and the library. It was
heaven to have a few hours with my boys!
We naturally picked out a few George Washington books and some fall and
apple books. Yesterday morning in
celebration of the first day of fall Collin wanted to make sugar cookies. I told him we didn’t have time, but that we
could have bagels and pretend they were cookies. So, Collin and I had bagels with strawberry
cream chesse, orange spinkles, and a couple of candy corns on top. And we read
an apple book and then shared a yummy honeycrisp apple.
So, this evening after the craziness of the day, I read another
apple book with him. And naturally he
wanted an apple to eat. I sliced up
another honeycrisp for our family to share and gave out the slices while the
rest remained on the counter. Collin
would sneak over and grab another slice and laughingly say, “You didn’t see me,
but I grabbed another slice off the counter when you weren’t looking!” Finally he declared, “I took the last slice
when you weren’t looking mom! This slice is for the most specialist person.”
Then he added, “Do you know who the most specialist person is? It’s YOU mom!”
And he handed me the last slice and gave me a big hug.
Being a mom is the best. :)
