The joys of motherhood...

I know that we all have those days where we think we are going to go insane!! Yesterday was mine, but I found solice in Pumpkin Apple Muffins! :) Every year we go to Bishop's Pumpkin Patch several times during the fall season. (So far we have been twice this year). I love love their Pumpkin Apple Muffins, but for 89 cents a piece, I thought I could make my own. So I searched the web and found an AWESOME recipe. I made some for Matt to take to work and some for us and they were gone that day. So last night I made another batch (in my Demarle mini muffin tray, which was amazing a total lifesaver). Nothing better than waking up to homemade goodies. My kids love them too. I will post the link so you can get the recipe yourself. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Pumpkin-Apple-Muffins-with-Streusel-Topping/Detail.aspx So last week I was just called to be the Relief Society President in our Deaf Branch here in Sacramento! I'm excited and trying not to feel overwhelmed. Whew! I also just became an Independent Rep. for Demarle at Home. For any of you who are looking to make some extra money and have a blast doing it...this is the company! The products are AMAZING and pretty much sell themselves. This has been a true blessing to our family and I've only been doing it for a couple of months. You can email me at demarlerosy@yahoo.com or check it out at www.demarleathome.com if you are interested. Paige is as funny as ever. She started watching this t.v. show called Bindi the Jungle Girl (it is the crocodile hunter's daughter's show). Paige is addicted to it and now insists that she is Paige the Jungle Girl. I caught her yesterday petting the tv because they were showing a koala bear and wanted to pet it too. :) She threw a huge fit yesterday because I wouldn't let her build a treehouse on our patio and let her have monkeys. She finally conceded and said that she wouldn't have jungle animals if only she could have a frog or a lizard! She cracks me up. I can't wait until she is a teenager!! Hunter is talking like crazy. He pretty much says anything that we say. The other day he said, "I don't know," (sounds like "I don know"). When we say, "Who wants to go to bed!" He'll respond, "Meeeee! I don't!" On Sunday he say a picture of Jesus and pointed to it so I showed him the sign for Jesus and then he copied the sign and said, "Jesus! Jesus!" He says "AMEN!" after every prayer and fold his arms when we say it is prayer time. He's so cute and is quite the character. He definitely has a strong personality (just like his father..haha). Even though we all have "one of those days" I wouldn't give up my special job as a mother for anything. I feel blessed to be able to be my kids' mom.
