I had the boys last night and will have them for the day.  Nothing can erase the horrors of this week than spending time with them.

Each of them has their own personality and their own questions which they ask as I go around doing the chores for the day.  Each has their own food likes and dislikes.  For Ryan the older he likes three good solid meals and his snacks are watermelon and black & white cookies.  While Callum who has food issues he is into his peanut butter and cocoa cereal, chocolate milk, orange juice, cheese danish and any cake I have baked.

I am cherishing this day with them as we will read books, play games and watch Nick Jr. together.  Ryan will help set the table and ask what he can help cook, Callum will stand on the step stool and ask, "Auntie Toni, what's that".  I will answer all those questions.

When they leave this evening there will be an extra hard hug and kiss.  Hope you do the same with all the children in your life.
