Chocolate Chip Muffins!

I have been trying all summer to get a few days off per week. It sounds like an easy enough idea, but we have been so busy at work that it just hasn't been a reality. And finally, this week, I had the perfect day off!! It was Friday. To start the day, I got up and made chocolate chip muffins! And my kids were pretty fired up about them!

Anyone who knows me knows that my making muffins was a pretty BIG deal! I do not cook! A lick!

And then, we added chocloate whipped frosting.

After inviting Paula and Emma Lou over for breakfast, we hung out on the back porch a while!

Paula couldn't believe her eyes! She even posed with my creation.

It wasn't long at all before Ellie had gotten a hold of the pink sprinkles and ta daaaa, my chocolate chip muffins were now chocolate chip muffins with chocolate icing and pink sprinkles.

I can tell by my baby's face that she enjoyed my Duncan Hines, Betty Crocker, and whoever else, cookin' self!!

And have I maybe mentioned before what this kid's hair looks like when she wakes up in the morning? It is super crazy!!

But crazy hair or not, she is one of the cutest things I have ever seen!!

And anyone who hangs around us knows she L.O.V.E.S her mama! I mean, big time. She holds my face with her hands and kisses me all over my face. I really wonder if the kid is ever going to want to go spend the night with friends or go anywhere on the weekends, or even date. Things will have to change significantly! As for now, it's all about mama mia! And that is fine with me.

And to conclude my absolute perfect day off, I got to spend time with my babies, but also had a baby sitter (KK!!), so they could remain entertained without having to sit on my lap the whole time.

Here, they are heading to the pool next door. And I got to sit at my art table and MAKE STUFF!! Then, when they were tired and I had gotten tons accomplished, I lay down in bed with my two precious girlies and took a late afternoon nap. CRAZY good day!!
