arctic hunger

These temps have driven me into the kitchen to keep warm.  Hadley has gone back to Texas and the kids back to school.  Maggie still has a week before her school starts up again.  We like to sit in the kitchen while one of us bakes.   Today I made a double batch of teeny cookies. Just a bite to help wind down that holiday sweet tooth that has taken over. Sawyer spends this time dragging in his ride on toys and books. It’s a happy mess!

Hope you are warm and cozy in your nest.  Winter to me means staying home, it feels too troublesome to go anywhere. 

I am window shopping through the Murray McMurray catalog—getting ready to place our chick order for February.  Soon enough the seed catalogs will arrive and I will be in full fledged garden swoon.  Spring dreams keep me going through these cold days, that and maybe a couple cookies :)

I love to bake when it's cold outside, too. Your little guy is getting so big but he still has the sweetest smiles! They melt your heart! Enjoy your week my friend...stay warm!

It has been a long time since I tapped into the blog world, am so happy seeing your post. Can so relate and agree! The gang of older kids in my house are back to school and the pace shifts, mellows. your little guy is terribly cute and oh has he grown since I last stopped in!
