It's getting to the point of winter that makes me crabby. I'm sick of being indoors. The kids are sick of being indoors. Everyone is crabby. So, to counter act all of the crabbiness I think I'll start a weekly list of things that make me smile.
Here's this week's:
1. Luke's skating lessons -- he started "hockey class" last night. AKA "lots of 4 year olds trying to just stand up on their teeny tiny skates." He spent the ENTIRE class being dragged around the ice by a cute teacher holding him up by his armpits. But he didn't cry. And he didn't whine. And he LOVED it. The best part? When she told him he was a "good skater." He's been talking about it ever since.
2. Evie's squinty-eyed, chubby-cheeked, toothy smile she's just started doing (see above picture).
3. Cadbury mini eggs and M&Ms peanut butter eggs. Lalalalove.
4. Macy's boots sale - 75% off! And I didn't buy any (that one's for you, honey).
5. The fact that Ken and I leave for 5 days in Paris -- sans kiddos -- in just under 4 weeks. Granted I have to make it through 3 weeks in the SICU (surgical ICU -- horrible, horrible schedule) first. But it's still making me smile.
I feel better already.
Oh curse of the Cadberry mini eggs, there goes my diet. Paris?!?!? So cool!!
ReplyDeleteSICU?!?! Wanna trade me? I am so sick of lab research even the thought q3 call makes me smile! Paris?!?! Again, I am so jealous! I hear you on the boredom about the cold yucky weather, I'm off to New Orleans this week and the thought of 70 degree weather also makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteOoh, there are Cadbury Mini eggs in the cupboard eh? Thanks for the heads up!
