What were they thinking when they weren’t thinking? Or, was I the one not thinking?
Today my youngest one begins high school. Seems like only yesterday he was yelping “Wait for me!” He wanted so badly to go to 6th grade with his big sister. So he threw his important stuff into his old diaper bag — his “ca-ca-coon” hat, and Barney slippers… He even took off his “Pippy Scottin’” Bulls jersey and slipped into a long sleever.
“Wait sissy, wait!”
Big sister turned around. Threw her arms in the air. “Mommm! Do I have to?”
Sometimes I wish my children were still young enough to believe that all you needed was a pair of magic slippers to start your day with. Hmmmm…. Warm java between my hands… Quiet echoey living room… Yes, scent of cinnamon whaffing up my nose… Reminiscent thoughts of “what were they thinking when they weren’t thinking back then?” Hmmmm… Wait a second… Was it them or me who wasn’t thinking the day I snapped that butt cheek photo? All I saw was missing pants. How did I not see what it now looks like they saw? Hope bubbling over.
Talk about an epiphany worth celebrating over french toast. If you are into the magic of mornings, here is a quick and easy delight I think you will love.
Today’s Life Recipe: Pictures are worth a thousand words. Looking at them with magic slippers on, often reveals something you didn’t notice before.

How sweet is that? Oh my goodness. I can just imagine how frantic he must have been to go with her.
Hard not to miss that naked butt! Amazing that that wasn’t the first thing Big Sis noticed…
Something to show the girlfriends or future wife! How cute!

Oh! I just checked out your french toast recipe! Love it! I like the orange extract idea.
I have made them with orange zest in the egg mixture then topped them with orange butter~butter, powdered sugar, orange zest, and a few teaspoons of orange juice.
I’m going to have to give yours a try!
He is gonna love you for posting that photo - LOL!
OMG…does he know you have this picture? That is too funny! You should frame it to give to his future wife on their wedding day.
Hi Debbie, was at Slavemom’s and noticed your callsign and busybody over.
Holy Smoke, I thought I had by mistake popped into Sophia Loren’s blog seeing your profile pic.
Has anyone told you, you look like Sophia Loren? Okay, I say so, ha ha.
Nice blog you have and love that pic at the top, cute pic too, ha ha.
You have a great week and stay gorgeous, best regards, Lee.
Love those cute buns! My last son would be mortified if I posted that but on the other hand, my oldest son would laugh and think it’s pretty funny!
Keep hugging that Freshman son of yours, they still need their mom’s hugs every now and then even if they don’t think so! Have a good week!
How funny!
