1. Cleaning out the kids room. It needed it BAD! It looks so much better and I bought some stuff to hang on the walls but didn't want to hang the stuff until the room was CLEAN! It felt good to see it all cleaned out.
2. Went to a play with Ella, The Secret Garden. It was put on by kids and it was really good! Ella really enjoyed it too. Wasn't sure how she would like it but she loved it. We had a lot of fun on our "date".
3. Hearing parents say the appreciate all the work I am putting into the fundraiser. Not many have said it but the ones that have make me feel good. Nice to know that someone appreciates all the hours we are putting into the crazy/stupid thing!
4. Ella asking me how we feed the ducks ( they are little keychain rubber ducks). How funny is that? I told her it was pretend feeding. Then when I told her we don't feed them every day she said "but they will be hungry." Kids, they are so cute!
5. Cora telling me she loves me more than a chair and then more than a trash can:)

It's been awhile smiles:)
1. Exercising with the hubby. Although the workouts are killer and I pretty much swear through them and hate them, it is nice to do them with Eric and know that we are trying together.
2. Having breakfast with 5 other mommmy's the other day b/c all of our kids were in school, except for one baby:) Such a mix of mommy's there and such fun hanging out and chatting for 1 1/2 hours with nowhere to be!
3. Being silly with Cora. Taking pictures of each other on the kids camera and adding goofy things to the pictures like a pig nose. She couldn't line up the pig nose on my nose so I have a pig nose eye and a pig nose mouth:) What fun to just be silly with her and giggle together!
4. Writing back and forth with my sister. Means a lot to me and just to stay connected is a great feeling to me. Makes me feel not so alone.

Day before school smiles
1. Spending half of the day with just Ella. Don't often get time alone with just Ella and it was nice to be with just her:)
2. Went swimming with friends and the kids had a great time!
3. Cora passed out before dinner and finally woke up and sat on my lap and ate her dinner in total silence. Ate quite well not saying a word just eating and giving me sweet smiles and laying her head down on me while chewing. So sweet!
4. Kids in bed by 8:00, YAY. Wasn't sure we could do it but we did.
5. Sisterly love...saw it several times today. First Ella was filling out a questionnaire for school and it said I am happiest when... and she wrote "I am playing with my sister". Then later Cora was overtired and crying and wanted a blanket from upstairs and I didn't want to get it and Ella ran up to get it without being asked by me or Cora. Ella ran up and brought down several and asked Cora which one she wanted. Sisters...there is nothing like them:)
