A Mess of Happiness

I love when our home is filled with music! There's a song that I sing to Joseph each day before he goes to sleep. Every time I start to sing it, he lays his head on my shoulder with a big grin. I sing it different ways each time, kissing the back of his neck, or hugging him tight while I sing. Sometimes it's goofy and we have a good laugh before he drifts off to sleep, and sometimes it's just quiet, and nice. The song is called "A Bushel and a Peck". My Gramma Hudkins is a huge fan of Doris Day. The very first time I heard it was when my Gramma Hudkins sang it to Camilla as a baby while they rocked in her livingroom. I will never forget that moment and I treasure that song so much. Until just a few weeks ago I never really knew the other verses, so I would always just sing the first one over and over. I finally pulled it up on Youtube the other day and fell in love with the second verse, particularily the line, "You make my life a mess, a mess of happiness."

Lately our home has been just that. A mess of happiness. It seems I always have pots and pans strewn across my kitchen and socks in every corner. By the end of last week, I gave up and just let the littles go crazy. I had to get dinner made, and they were occupied. It's hard to plug your ears and cook though!

Notice Joseph's missing sock!

After dinner, the boys went for a bath. They had the cutest messy grins you ever did see.

Even as I type, I have snot on my shirt and macaroni smudges on my jeans. But I do love our messy, happy life!
