Sandwiches are wonderful! Sandwiches are fine!

 We got home from the park yesterday just in time for lunch. As I was getting the little boys inside I heard Mason rustling around in the fridge. When I finally joined him in the kitchen, I saw that he had all the fixing out and ready for sandwiches. When I offered to take over making them he sincerely said, "Mom, I want to do it myself so I feel helpful." With a statement like that, how could I not let my little man stretch his wings of independence?! So instead of stepping in, I stepped back with my camera and documented the gourmet lunch he prepared for he and Charlie.
 While he stacked his sandwich high with pickles (in one spot), he happily clucked, "I like pickles because they remind me of Pickles Bill!" (Of course he meant Pecos Bill, but he has now given me yet another reason to love pickles.)
 As tempting as his sandwiches looked, I kindly offered to make one for me and Cabey so that he could dig right in. I'm totally selfless.

I just adore reading your blog and hearing all of your adventures with your boys. They are all just too cute and they are so lucky to have you as their mom. No doubt there is lots of laughter in your home!
