If You Came Over For Coffee Today

I have seen this post idea on so many blogs over the past couple years.
I am not really sure where the idea started, but I thought it was a fun post idea. So...

If you came over for coffee today...

I may have answered the door in pajamas, if you stopped by before noon anyway.
You might hear me reading Make Way For Ducklings as you came to the door.
It is the new favorite around here.
When we wake up, before naps, before bed.
Daddy reads it best (Boston accent and all).
Logan would be running around in a diaper with his shoes on the wrong feet.
There would be a pile of laundry on the chair in the living room waiting to be folded.

I would offer you some of the Dunkin's coffee that my mom gave me with the mug (pictured above). I would probably tell you how I am a little bit sad that the egg nog season is over and I have to go back to regular creamer in my coffee. Devastating, really.

I would have shared the rest of the m&ms with you instead of finishing them all myself.

There would be a big pile of toys on the living room floor. Logan's toys from his birthday don't last long in the toy box, so hopefully you don't mind the mountain of them in the living room. He is having so much fun with every single one of them.

I would ask you what is new in your life, secretly craving to hear about some exciting change. Something new happening, that you could tell me all of the thrilling details to. I would tell you that I have been dreaming about a little change here. Just enough to lessen the urge to jump on an airplane to anywhere... or move... or join the circus.

I might throw on some Michael Buble music. Just because I have been in the mood.

I would ask you if you have read any really great books lately.
The kind you can't wait to recommend to a friend.

Then, we may have gone outside and built a snowman. As we rolled the snow, I would tell you that I love the sight of Logan making his second snow angel ever. It makes me realize how lucky I am to have such an awesome husband. A husband that would lay down in the snow beside our two year old yesterday and explain the snow angel for the first time.

You might tell me just how blessed you are too.

We would add the sticks for hair, the rocks for eyes, the carrot for a nose, and then we would try to decide what to use for the mouth. Logan would tell us that he needed a binky. Then when everything was perfect, Logan would walk up and take a big bite right off of the end of the snowman's nose. And then bite after bite, the carrot nose would become just a carrot stub.

Then, we would spend some time sitting down by the river "fishing". Logan would check the other end of the stick every few minutes and say, "Nothin' there... come on fishy". He would stick it back in the water and try again with cutest grin on his face. We would laugh about it and go back inside for some hot cocoa.
