Favorite Things Friday with Pictures

I haven't posted much this week so I am going to use some pictures from the past week while describing my favorite things. In no particular order.

1. Rita's. Man is that juicy pear italian ice good. I could eat it every day.

Cordelia loves it too.

2. Watching Cordelia eat spaghetti. So messy and so cute.

3. The fact that Cordelia eats spaghetti. Calvin is relentlessly picky but Cordelia eats everything.

4. I love dressing Cordelia up. Calvin is fun to dress too but there is something about little dresses and tutus and bows that makes me smile.

5. Learning how to make new things. I made mac and cheese twice this week. It was really good and my sauce was very creamy if I do say so myself. Cordelia liked it so much she had to make sure no one would get the bowl from her. Calvin wouldn't eat it. What am I going to do with him?! No don't answer that, I don't want to talk about it. He went to bed that night without dinner because he refused to eat it.

6. Pinterest.com! Today we ate buffalo chicken grilled cheese sandwiches that I found on Pinterest and they were fantastic. The more I use it the more I like it. You should join! I don't know what that has to do with this picture. She's cute though, right?!

7. Calvin's smile! The terrible twos are in full effect at our house. Calvin has been very defiant and at times aggressive lately. I pray that God will grant me patience and wisdom. But in all the tantrums I treasure these beautiful smiles. I tell Calvin every night that he is the best, most wonderful boy in the whole wide world and I mean it.

8. Cordelia's smile is pretty great too.

9. I love fall. I bought the stuff to make an apple pie today. I have been really into pies lately. My crust is getting really good. I need to get some cider.

10. Watching Calvin and Cordelia play together is so precious. I came out of the kitchen tonight to see them sitting on the floor holding hands watching "The Incredibles", of course by the time I got the camera the moment was passed. We have good days and not as good days with sharing and such but they love to play together and Calvin will not read books at bed/nap time without Cordelia there. They follow each other from room to room too.

This one really is a kiss :)

These are a few of my favorite things from this week. I feel like I did a lot of comparing of the kids. It is unavoidable to compare them but I want to make sure you all know that I don't play favorites. Cordelia pitches fits too. Calvin is sweet and kind too. My kids are both amazing and I love them both equally.

Okay enough seriousness. I hope you have a great blessed weekend!
