PAUSE IV

We are just coming out of the winter months here in Rexburg and our whole family is itching to get outside. This last winter we spent A LOT of time inside. Something about being huge pregnant and getting a toddler bundled up to waddle around the front yard in 15 degree weather just didn't seem SUPER fun. But guess what, that cute baby was born and the snow has melted! I hope we can fill our Spring days with more walks to the park, playing in the backyard and chalking on the sidewalk.

PAUSE III

Thank you to whoever invented play dough. It is one of the few things that will hold the attention of my toddler. And we all know how valuable that is. When we play with play dough Wes asks/demands that I make him a "man-may" (aka, a snowman) a thousand times, just so he can take it apart and smash it. I'll happily make man mays in exchange for 15 minutes of (general) stillness at the table.

PAUSE II

Odds are this photo means nothing to you, but it reminds me of how lucky I am. One sandwich for our growing todddler who is eating ALL THE TIME. One sandwich for Chris, who gets to come home for lunch most days because his work is less than a mile away from home. And one sandwich for me. It also reminds me of how much I prefer simplicity in my day. Can you beat the easiness of a PB&J?
