Everyday joys....mealtime

One of the craziest times of our days, but also one of the best, is meal times.  For breakfast and lunch it is just the girls and I while daddy is at work.  I love breakfast time because the girls are still in their jammies and it is a brand new day that we are starting together.  We talk about what we are going to do that day or what it looks like outside (sunny, cloudy, rainy.....).  I love breakfast time because it is usually leisurely....the girls aren't at the ages yet where they have to be ready to leave the house at the crack of dawn, which is great for me because me and the early morning aren't the best of friends.  I love two little girls in their jammies just starting out the day together.

When lunch time rolls around things can be a little more hectic because Ashlyn is usually getting tired for a nap and when she gets hungry she is ready to eat immediately.  Usually this is a time where they are both hungry at the same time and when it is all said and done there is food spread all across the counter.  But, I really do love it because the three of us are together.  Kyla is really talkative during this time and there is usually lots of laughter. 

Supper is really great because daddy is home with us.....also very hectic with lots going on, but so, so good. The one thing all of these meals have in common is that they are messy.  A messy kitchen and two messy girls....especially Ashlyn.  She loves to pick up food on her own, which leads to messy hands, a messy face and messy hair from the hands.  The other day it got to the point where I decided just to take her shirt off....it can make things easier.  Here is the result:

There is nothing cuter than a messy baby in a high chair.  And nothing better than sharing meals everyday with the people you love most.
