Praises of a Wife and Mommy

Paxton's Corner Coop Where cupcakes and ice cream collide!  :)  I Scream you scream we all scream for... cupcakes!!!  Yep, that's right we did NOT eat ice cream we had cupcakes!   However, this new place was doing July in January and they had icee cupcakes and ice cream sundae cupcakes!   I had the sundae and I did enjoy it.  I tasted a little frosting from the icee and wow that was super sugary but yummy too!  This was about a 35 minute drive for us to get to but it was worth it and we had some fun! 

The Berenstain Bears Bedtime Devotional is perfect for little cubs settling down for a good night’s sleep. Including a devotion for each day with a reflection, Scripture, and a Bear Prayer for the End of Day from Brother, Sister, and even Honey Bear, these 90 reflections on simple Christian truths such as God loves us, love one another, be courageous and kind, and much more are the peaceful way to end a busy day. Bear Country friends will be featured throughout in simple artwork from the Living Lights brand. My Review: I am highly enjoying reading this devotional every night with my kids on each side of me.   If you read my blog often you know I love the Berenstain Bear book series.    The book is a hard cover book and each devotional is one page.  It is geared for children 4-8 years old however I think older children will enjoy it just as much. My favorite feature is how they end the devotional, a prayer from one of the characters from The Berenstain...

I had a fantastic time today with my kids but also my sister.  What a blessing it is for me to have this day to share with my sister and my 2 kiddo's.  Como Zoo is in Minnesota and it is a fantastic zoo with no admission!  :)   Our cute group: Aunt Kelly and Selah Selah's favorite animal exhibit... GIRAFFES of course!  My lil monkeys!  2 years ago she was afraid of the animal statues.  Now she was asking to get her picture taken.   LOL, he grabbed this and put it in his mouth...good think he could not suck it up.  ;) What is your favorite animal?  

How adorable it is too watch your kids play together.  He actually was happy even those his facial expression does not show it.
