Markus Sparkus

The kid is a riot lately- and a handful. He is definitely two. We are hearing way more "I wants" than "May I please have" but we are getting there :). He is exerting his will in some not so pleasant ways... but there are a multitude of moments when he is the sweetest, most loving boy you could ever imagine too.
The other day it was raining and I needed something fun to keep him busy indoors. We had received an email that morning that a friend who recently lost her husband was in need for some encouragement... and it just so happened that she loved chocolate cookies. So when Markus awoke from his nap we baked a batch of chocolate-white chocolate chip cookies to take to her and her family. While we were baking these were Markus' funnies-
1. When he poured the flour into a bowl it made a mound. He exclaimed, "Look Mommy! Markus made a mountain!"
2. When we mixed the dry ingredients with the wet there was a cloud of flour dust that came out of the bowl. He said, "Mommy don't touch. The cookies are hot." It definitely did look like steam!
3. I was placing the dough onto the cookie sheet and Markus asked if they were ready. I said no, we had to put them in the oven first. His response? "We put them in the oven and then they get nice and warm."
And here are some random summer pics. Enjoy!
