Slow-Cooker Day

NieNie did a post one time about how they were having a "Slow-Cooker Day"....meaning it was just one of those days where it takes you forever to get going, you have no plans, the kids are parked in front of the Disney channel and the day just drags by.  It's the perfect title for days like that!  I have since adopted it into my vocabulary because we sadly have these days way too often.  Today is definitely a Slow-Cooker Day in the Wood household.  The all-day snowstorm and Nate's 10-hour shift and Cam not having school and me not feeling the best (quite possibly a direct result of the cinnamon roll feast that is actually still going on today....sorry fetus, Mom can't stop!).

So whenever I need a pick-me-up on a long slow-cooker day, the quickest way is to grab my camera and tell my kids to go be silly and make me laugh.  They never disappoint.

My cross-eyed daughter looks so homeless....

 We have a lot of furniture in our living room right now (anyone want our leather sofa?), and if you're wondering if it's driving me crazy, the answer is YES!

I LOVE Roo's face here!!!

I wish I could edit the background (laundry!) because this is one of my FAVORITE pictures I've ever taken of the two of them.

So every night before bed, we play the "I Love You Game".  Last night it was Cameron's turn to be 'it'.  Usually we just go around and each say why we love that person, then that person says our nightly family prayer.  It's really fun.  But last night, we told Cam it was his turn.  He's obviously not supposed to do this, but the kid jumped in with, "I love myself today because....I'm SO smart."  Haha, Nate and I about died.  Nothing wrong with a little self-confidence, I guess...  We love you, Cam, because you are so hilarious!!!
