Simple Pleasures

We really haven't been doing too much around here. The girls are recovering from colds, and we've spent a lot of time inside. I'm afraid that is how most of this cold season is going to be spent. I'm scared of H1N1, especially with a new baby on the way, so I feel one of the best ways to protect my family is to become a hermit. Sounds like fun, eh? Okay, I'm not really that bad, but I have become a huge germaphobe lately. And I admit that I look forward to the day my family can be vaccinated. If nothing else, it will give this worryin' momma some relief.

Enough of germ-talk, and on to the simple pleasures of life with two little people... yesterday the girls enjoyed some m&ms. Yes, this is snot AND drool. Gross, I know. Welcome to our world at the Johnson household.

Last night we had the pleasure of hosting cousins Seth and Maybe. The kids all had a great time together. One of the highlights of the evening was pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, of which there was great anticipation (thanks for the yummy recipe, Heb!). It seems Maren especially enjoyed hers.

It was much easier to dump her in the tub than try to clean off all the bits of chocolate from hair, hands, ears, etc. Maybe joined her (although she daintly ate her cookie and didn't have chocolate eyebrows) and they had a rockin' good time.

I love my life.
