Good Morning Mama

Curse the cuteness of my two sons.

All I wanted to do is roll over in bed and ignore them so that I can get a few more minutes of sleep, but no they have to be adorable little snots.

Logan was up bright and early at 6:35 and quietly ran out into the front room to cuddle with Grandma in our big brown lazy boy and watch the Disney Channel. Okay I can still sleep for a bit, sweet! Nope, 6:40 over the baby monitor I hear Liam in his little morning voice "Mama?" and with an effort I roll out of bed to go greet the morning with the cute little buggers that are my sons. :)

Not much on the agenda to do today as I have today off of work which is odd, normally I work Friday and have Saturday off; as most of the deliveries come Monday-Friday, but I'm not going to complain. My plan for the day is make some brownies < for the family and someone special ;) >, do the laundry, throw something into the crock pot for dinner tonight (recipe for Brownies will follow at end of post), and maybe play some video games? But who knows :)

I suppose that it is all for now. Oh I started another blog called "Blogging Zombies?!" read it if you get the chance and let me know what you think.
