crafternoon, crock pot chicken,

{and a crazy play date}

today has been so good to me. i'm reminded that this precious time continues to fly as these cousins (who are 10 days apart) are in to EVERYTHING.
they are almost one you know.
carter has the cutest drunk baby walk and gav now speed crawls. pause please?
so cute, so naughty.
so fun, so exhausting.

a good day always includes some crafting while the little rests his eyes. he was generous and took a 1 hr morning nap so mamma made 2 cards. both have the same color scheme (crumble cake, poppy parade & peach parfait)

a good day also includes supper being in the crock pot at noon. this is a delicious and simple recipe. please do try it.
