You know what made me happy today? Little things. Lots of little things.
Like...
*Saying the Pledge of Allegiance along with the kids in Spencer's class.
*Dropping off Carson and breakfast for Rachael and having her come to the car to get both.
*Taking an afternoon nap.
*Listening to Sophie tell everyone about the snack we took to preschool. "Ocean Crackers" she called them (they were just graham crackers with blue frosting with chocolate goldfish crackers on top).
*Having a new friend from church walk over with her kids to see if we could play (unfortunately we were on our way out).
*Visiting my grandma.
*Watching the animated way Sophie talked to my mom at the kitchen table.
*Sampling four different flavors of cheesecake that Jason surprisingly brought home.
*Taking the kids to McDonald's night for his school and having the nicest lady insist that she help me and the kids out to the car with our food.
*Catching up with an old friend and cousins (and having that friend tell me she's glad I'm blogging again, that's the best).
*Sarah's chili and cinnamon rolls.
*Listening to Sophie tell Grandma Landoni, with a lot of concern, not to go outside when it rains because it's not safe.
*Realizing and witnessing the amazing change in Spencer since we switched classes.
*Carson wearing his batman cape all day.
*Showing Spencer the Little Dipper.
*Hearing my dad tell the kids he missed seeing them on Sunday.
*Spencer telling everyone about the accident he saw on the bus on the way home. He kept asking if it was on the news.
*Reminiscing with Jason about a past argument over vinegar. He still swears all vinegars were created equally. I still maintain that you cannot use all vinegars interchangeably.
*Watching Spencer blush when he was asked to introduce me to his class.
*Singing along to Taylor Swift during breakfast with the kids.
Not so happy today? Losing my debit card. But hey, that's not bad comparatively.
And a picture...

Bummer I missed you at McTeacher Night. We had to go late because Chloe had her singing group class.
I am glad things are better for Spencer now. I love that he and Chloe are in the same class. To bad they are not in the same ward anymore.
Ahhh..Spencer's life revolved around mom's yard:) Whatta great experience all of you had in your own little world on 9th avenue. Seeing those pictures certainly bring back a time when the world felt balanced and now we have to work at getting it back to that again. When I gave the kids their pictures with mom the other nite, Carson took his and laid on the floor with his hands on his cheeks just looking at "ya ya". Soph gets that dramatic look and tells me how much she misses Grandma Goude and that she knows she is watching her from heaven. Then today she sits down next to me on the couch and says " I remember when I was over at Grandma's house and she was on the porch and I went in the house to get a snack and I got some cheese in the fridge and it had a dead ant on it!!" I about died laughing! What a weird normal thing to have happened!!:) Grandma and ants pretty much went hand in hand:) I quickly got a note book and started writing down her thoughts. She went thru the makeup, lips, healthy chocolate bars in the freezer memories. Of course she reminds me that she took care of my mother...I will always cherish that:) Your pictures certainly tell a story of a life you, your kids, and mom lived.
