Popcorn

My husband, my boys, they all LOVE popcorn!  It's a huge treat for the boys and since I've been not the nicest mama lately, I've felt like treating a little more than usual.  So, the air popper has had a home on my counter top for the last several weeks and on many days after we pick Ilan up from school the boys gather in the kitchen - Ilan perched on the cabinet and Aitan on a stool and we fire it up.  Watching the boys excitement as the kernals start to pop takes me right back to my childhood.  I can see my sister and I positioned similarly, waiting with eager anticipation of the metamorphasis.  Their pure delight in the process is heartening and reminds me to take better stock of the simple joys of life.
