Amen! Clearly, the world needs more Pajama Days for all.

Jennie said...

Everyday should be Pajama Day!! I think this weekend will be perfect for that hot chocolate too!

Christina said...

I am in complete agreement..and I think it shouldn't be limited to Kindergarteners either. Everyone deserves a Pajama/hot chocolate day!! :)

Emily said...

Amen! Maybe Congress needs a PJ and Hot Cocoa Day! Hmmmmm...

Geo said...

Absolutely... And we need the hot chocolate around here today, don't we!

LobotoME said...

AMEN! :-)

Lissa said...

Ahhh! The simple things...they are truly the most important things!!
Childhood Memories will never be forgotten, they are felt with the heart, even the simple ones like PJ's and hot chocolate. And as the years go and the seasons change those sweet children will be taken back to the enjoyable pleasures of pj's and cocoa and special family!

That's so cute!

Eudae-mamia said...

How about PJ Day and lemonade? It's 90 degrees here in Texas.

And those two sweet girls are the epitome of beauty. You're doing a great job!!!!!

Hugs and prayers, Em

So cute! We love pajama day and we especially love hot chocolate!

My little one is at K right now in her PJs. I think cocoa is called for upon her return! A perfect ending to a special day...

Can I get an AMEN!

Julia said...

Once again, I must thank you for this blog and for keeping up on NieNie's with older posts. I love it! I don't know either of you or anyone in your family, but I wanted to tell you that I dreamed about Stephanie last night. It was such a peaceful dream with me learning from her, drinking from her spirit and I didn't want to leave her side. It was like I had always known her and relished ever moment I could ever spend with her. Oh how I wish I could have had this blog to read when my children were young. I know it would have enhanced my mothering skills. I woke up with a smile just thinking of it and then I remembered her tragedy. My prayers continue for her, Christian and all of you.

Jaina said...

Oooh, can I join in on the pj's and hot cocoa??

Likely said...

that tiered plate rack needs to be pushed onto the counter a couple inches.....

ha ha ha .... I must have two boys.

Amy said...

Precious! I think the world would be a better place if we all had pink PJ's.

A Beautiful Mind said...

Amen to that!

Mrs. Hass-Bark said...

What a precious image! You certainly brightened my day.

The Garden Maiden said...

I raise my hand with an AMEN and add a lotta love for those two cuties and those cute little cups.

compulsive writer said...

Yes. Yes. YES!

LuckyMatt said...

All the economic news is depressing, but we should never forget that we are blessed to live in a country where even the poorest among us can likely still give their kids hot chocolate in their pajamas. Thanks for the reminder.

Tricia said...

I agree completely...even if it is 90 degrees here today and the air conditioning is running....hot chocolate cures alot of things and makes the world seem brighter!
Thanks for sharing these cute girls

Maggie May said...

karengberger said...

I totally agree: less "Chicken Little" and more peaceful joys of home life...with marshmallows, please!
God bless you and your entire family.

Willis Family said...

I think we could all use a pajama day with some hot chocolate! Sounds like a great plan to me. Such a cute picture!

kati said...

I agree with that my little sister is a kindergartener and she is amazing

I hope they were dunking something yummy in their cocoa - that's the best way to enjoy it.

I wish it was cocoa weather here in SoCal!!

Becky said...

Thank heaven for little girls! They are adorable. Pajama Day was so fun--they don't do it in second grade. :(

Micha said...

I think that may well be one of the most adorable things I've ever seen.

hOLLIANN said...

Ohhh...I heart kindergartners...I will be sad when mine goes to 1st grade...for a whole day!

And every day is pajama day at my house...I really need to open a pajama store...you have inspired me :)

Obsessive Foodie or Food Addict....You Decide said...

I second that one! What adorable little fairies with beautiful pajamas! Did I spell fairies right??? It doesn't look right. It probably isn't. Fairy's hmmmm......

coty said...

yup yup.

Emily said...

Amen.

BRoss said...

maybe those guys on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange could all use a little hot cocoa in thier PJ's to calm their nerves. I'd like to see CNBC broadcast that.

Take that Maria Bartiromo!

In fact, I'm going to get in my PJ and enjoy some right now.

My almost 3 yr old son wanted to know, "How can the kids smile when their Mommy is burned?" He was worried about the kids I guess. I told him that they know their Mommy and Daddy are in the hospital but they are getting better and the kids are out here with their family and they can be happy but still miss their Mommy and Daddy.
I love the Pajama Day pictures. The smiles on those cute girls is beautiful!! Hooray for PJ DaY!

april kennedy said...

You know many people have commented about how they would love to have Stephanie as their neighbor. I would want you and all your cuteness!

Still praying for Stephanie and Christian and your family.

Nicole said...

AMEN! Hey.. I don't know you and you don't know me but I heard about your sister's blog and found your blog... thought you might be able to help me!

BLOG like your family depends on it because in fact it does! TAG your it! Please visit my blog and then post on your blog. Then tag all your blogging friends... TOGETHER we can educate and spread our testimony about family and marriage between a man and a woman!

You can take a moment to watch this from our church...http://newsroom.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/eng/ They said last night that "this will not be limited to California; as it's powerful influence will be felt across the country." THANKS

Tasha said...

True 'dat!

LeAnne said...

Definitely! I used to be a preschool teacher. Oh how I miss pajama days with hot chocolate. thanks for bringing back some fond memories.

just~Megan said...

How very lucky those sweet babies of Nie's are to have you and Chup and the Chief- and how lucky she is that you are capturing all these days, for soon she will be able to enjoy them too. LOVE those sweet little cups and I have just ordered several sets for my sugar babies! And seriously how cute are those girlies~ I am sure those are the faces Nie is used too and BRAVO to you for providing them with the same joy they knew before-- many prayers and blessing to you all ~*~

Heather Anna said...

Amen! I kept my kindergartner home the other day, cuz she was a little under the weather and we had a fabulous day outside in our park's garden and making chicken soup together. More of that please!

Nicole said...

Focusing on the simple joys in life can be really important for all of us. And hot chocolate is really the best drink around. Yay for cool weather!

Chelle! said...

CJane--you are the most amazing aunt ever in the whole wide world!!! All of those young women that you served in your last ward were completely blessed to have you as their leader.
