Things We Love Lately . . .

Wow, I feel like I've been gone a long time!
It's only been about two weeks since my last post but it feels like forever.
It's been a rough couple of weeks and every time I tried to sit down and write something happy and fun it came out grumpy and boring.
I feel a little better today.
We are working on a new treatment with Christopher and I think it is helping with his anxiety and overall attitude.
It's an interesting treatment and maybe someday (when we are very sure about its results) I will share it with you.

Anyways, sometimes it is hard for me to look through all the gray yuckiness to the good things in my life.
I have a lot of things to love . . . . . . .

I love brown, ugly grass.
Really, I do.
Spring was here the other day.
Of course, Idaho did not let her stay, but it was such a breath of fresh (still a little chilly) air. The kids had a great time out there enjoying some sun while still being able to find the few patches of snow that are left to track into the house :)





The kids love their color changing cars.
My kids want to play with EVERYTHING in the bathtub.


They loooove the bathtub.


So, Grandma got them these color changing cars for their bath time and they are in heaven.



I love AND Christopher loves Moon Dough.



Have you seen this stuff?
Wow. I love it.
It is allergy free, NEVER dries out, and it is the most interesting (oddly soothing) stuff to play with.
Their Aunt JJ was here a couple days ago playing with it and went out and bought her own grownup self some.
Seriously, this stuff is fascinating.


I loved this book.


When I saw the cheesy, pink cover I immediately thought - Uh uh. Not for me. But, I decided to give it a chance when I saw who wrote it. It was a great book. Highly recommended.


I love this show.


This is my dream life.



I love to crochet. Remember that pouf ottoman I showed you a while back? Well, she wasn't looking so good. I got some new, better stuffing for her and she looked a little better. However, with kids jumping on her and too big of stitches she was looking sad. Sooooo, I finally figured out that the directions had called for double crochet (bigger stitches) and I really needed to do a single crochet (smaller, tighter stitches) to make her look perfect. So, I undid ALLLLLLLL the stitches and started over.

I seriously have a ball of yarn as big as a basketball.

Amazing. She is looking fabulous. Much much better. I will show you when I'm done.
(Was that the most boring thing you have ever read on a blog???)

How is everyone out there???
What are you loving lately?

No this was not a boring post--just real life which sometimes makes you grumpy, happy, sad, bored etc etc etc. I love your blog no matter what. Now I really want to get some of this moon dough stuff!!

I'm excited to hear about what treatment you're trying. I just wrote a post about the diet changes we're trying. It's such a learning experience, huh? I'm loving hearing the birds singing in the morning right now. Spring is here!
