moments like this.

There are some moments that having kids is just so totally worth it.

All the kids minus Franklin were playing next door. It was so nice…got some scrapping done while Dig was sleeping and when he woke up, he sat and cuddled with me while we watched Oprah. It was nice. But the really great part…the part that had me bursting with joy…

Is when I ran out of toilet paper in the bathroom and I asked him to get me some from the other bathroom. He ran off, found it, threw himself a little party for doing such a good job (his little YAY in the other room about killed me with cuteness) and ran back to deliver the goods.

If that’s not a reason to have kids, I don’t know what is.

    I agree! Today’s moment like that is when my son, 3, came into my Tastefully Simple Party and said “Mommy I love” and gave me a huge, just because!
