A good day

Today was a really really good day.
Nothing outstanding or fabulous to make it good, just one of those days.
The kids did really well together, got over frustrations quickly, said sorry, listened when they were asked, K & W actually stayed in the backyard when we played outside., you know- just little things like this all day long that made it great.

Here are a few of the memorable moments:

We played hide and seek. It was hilarious. They just wanted to look for me. So I hid over and over and over again. The last time I hid they started looking and then got sidetracked and played instead. So I was stuck until I said "hey, where's mommy? Come find me, please!!" Then they laughed and giggled and thought it was so funny that I was still hiding. What a hoot.

Music time. I said 'Hey, let's do music time' and no joke, Tave started patting his legs and said hello. (Our music time always starts with the 'Hello' song and tapping our legs.) So I have a musical genious. ;) Not really, but it was seriously cool that he recognized what I was talking about. That or a really really really big coincidence.

When Shar got home from work we had about a half hour to chat, hang out, and check out the amazing deals she got at Kohls. I love my sister. And I love the time we get together. I also love when she tells me about fabulous sales...see below

We went to Kohls and got a screaming deal on Tave's birthday present. (his party is tomorrow so it's okay that we didn't shop yet!) Most toys at Kohls are 40% off right now and then I had a 30% off your entire purchase coupon on top of that. Like I said, awesome awesome deal. I love it when that happens!!

We also got Weston some underwear. He's kind of been showing interest in potty training. We'll see what happens..I'm not pushing. I was planning on giving him underwear for his b-day in June, and then starting once we got back from Texas. So we'll see. It was so cute to see him in little boys' underpants. To say he was excited would be an understatement! It was one of those I-can't-believe-my-baby-is-such-a-big-boy-now moments.

Weston & Tave's favorite thing to do with Jeff is be thrown in the lovesack. It's a nightly ritual and it always gets us all laughing. Wouldn't you know- West decided Mommy had to be thrown in too. So Jeff did. And it was pretty darn fun.

And last, but not least, my dear sweet hubby did the dishes and clean up for the night and then he even made the cupcakes for Tave's party. I don't know what else to say besides: I love you, Babe, you're the best!!

After all that, I'd say the day wasn't just good-- it was absolutely, positively fantastic!!
