:: For getting a text from our realtor about the house. We should "get" the approval letter this Wednesday, Not getting my hopes up, but at least it's better than not hearing at all.

:: We had a play date with the Lindbloom kids and it was great! Everyone played well and it was fun to see my kids be with friends again. One of the hard things about leaving 15 min away from our old area is because it really affects the amount of friend time my kids have.

::For Brenner cheering my on while I exercised. I'm doing this Daily Burn exercise program online and I was in the middle and paused to catch my breath. Brenner yelled, "Mom! Keep going! You can do it!" So cute and encouraging. : D

:: For me and Davis making cookies this afternoon. I also struggle once I drop Brenner off at Kindergarten, not to have Davis' time be filled with electronics so that I can get a lot done while I only have one kid. I wanted to make cookies for dinner and while it would have been faster not have help, it was really fun and he actually was helpful and was great at listening.

:: My mom told me today that the last time I left a message, I actually never ended the call so she was able to hear me as me and Davis were going some where and getting in the car. She said that I was engaged and patient with him and thought it spoke volumes since I didn't know anyone was listening. This was the perfect thing for me to hear because I have been feeling guilty for the way that have talked to my kids when the in-laws are not around. I seemed to jump quickly to a stern voice because I knew we were alone. Can't say I'm always good at this, but it was nice to hear that once, I was!
