Better Than Cookies

My sister once said, "Hugs are better than cookies."

And, if you knew how much she and I loved cookies, you would understand the significance of the statement!

Today, in between buying school shoes and running T to the doctor, we had a few minutes to kill, so we spontaneously stopped by Mickey D's. Suddenly, our "errands" turned into an "outing". All day since, T has slathered me with hugs. Saying things like, "I really liked our outing, mom." He has just been hugging me over and over. And I love it.

Then tonight, while watching a movie as a family, he and R cuddled up to me. Hugging me. Loving me. And I loved it.

All the long days of summer disappeared and immediately the pending school year approached to soon.

And, I am pretty sure, as this sleepy boy hugs me good night, that Hugs are TOTALLY better than cookies!

Oh Kathy, I so love the picture you paint of your special day and all the shared huggles with your babies, who aren't very much 'babies' anymore, huh?! You are so right, nothing in this world feels better than when those little arms and hands wrap around you and squeeze you tight! If only we could package that and sell it, huh?!!!!

Many hugs...................

It is amazing how one hug or one really sweet I love you can magically make you forget all the bad things :)
