Daily Awards

And the award goes to . . .

Best Feature of Baby Snuggling:  When I pick him up and his legs curl under him, forming the tiny booty into the ideal position for cupping with one hand while snuggling the adorable one to my chest.  Perfection.

Best Workout:  While I've been enjoying the effects of both the WiiFit and my TaeBo VHS Collection lately, the award goes to dancing with my two-year-old daughter to the musical stylings of GRITS.  Gotta love a good hip hop beat to get those hips moving (and her little hips are too cute when they get going!).

Best Guilt-Inducing Telemarketing Script:  Winner - Children's Miracle Network - "I understand that it has been a rough year financially, but these children don't have very much time left.  Couldn't you just give something to bring a smile to their faces in their last days?"  Who doesn't love to feel like a heartless crusher of dying-children's dreams?

Most Disturbing Nursery Rhyme:  Winner - "Sing a Song of Sixpence" - Blackbirds baked into a pie?  And then they pop out of the pie to sing before pecking off the nose of the queen?  Suddenly Alfred Hitchcock's childhood is beginning to become clear to me.

Most Lucky Game of Scrabble:  I win the award by drawing all letters whose values were greater than 4 points - and using them deftly to ratchet up the score and beat my husband by 110 points.  (And don't listen to his claims he never wins - his pity parties sometimes cloud his memory.)

Sweetest Photo of the Day: The contenders . . .

Philip is cracking up because rather than repeating "Oink Oink," Micaiah is actually performing her own piglet grunt.

 But the Winner is . . .


Micaiah actually posed for this all by herself while I was trying to photograph her sharing her stickers with Emmett.


What an award-winning day!  For all those moments that weren't selected this time, let's not forget, it's just an honor to be nominated!
