This is how I left the children this morning to work on stuff for theYW 2013 main events/activities/calendars/lists/gifts/budgets/ goals/callings/ etc etc etc... on the computer.  Aren't they cute!  They had just put their babies to sleep (as seen behind Joseph), and sat down in the kitchen to play "hot chocolate".  I even gave them REAL crackers to snack on!  So sweet.

Then, I came back from the bedroom a bit later...after Kaylena brought me a snack.  Mashed crackers crumbled and stirred in water.  I posted on Facebook that it both melted my heart and turned my stomach.  It really was super super super cute and sweet!  Especially how excited she was!  But for some reason the sight of soggy crumbled cracker partcles swirling around in this water was SOO nauseating!  I told her how kind and thoughtful that was and she asked if I wanted a bigger bowl.  I declined, but agreed to come out and help her make something for all of us...and this is what I found.  Wooooow right?

 

On the other hand, remember our kitchen plans??  Yep, just a few more finishing touches and we'll be done with our KITCHEN!! Under budget (thanks to mom and dad for paying a chunk of labor for the backsplash and trim adjustments for our birthday/christmas gifts) AND right on time- right? we said by Christmas!!
