1. I can turn my next to both sides without throwing up..this was so not happening yesterday!

2. I got updated photos of my youngest nephew in the mail.

3. We made it to the orthodontist on time this afternoon.

4. We had time to redeem their various reward cards from the orthodontist (Toys R Us for ds1, Starbucks for dd2).

5. DS used some of his "change" to treat his younger sister to an ice cream--she was feeling cheated since she "doesn't get to have braces OR glasses", LOL!

6. Dd1 took time out of her day to play with the baby without being encouraged to!

7. Taking her to get her Starbucks opened a "window" for me to share some memories with her, specifically of my first trip to Starbucks (in Seattle, before they moved to every corner!).

8.We've finally been blessed with a babysitter who's committed to coming over every week!

9. I got to "help" dd2 make blueberry muffins from scratch today...she just finished reading Blueberries for Sal.

10. I found recipe in a magazine that dredged up some "sweet" memories of a high school boyfriend. My oldest and I made them for dessert, and I had another chance to share with her.

11. We're leaving for vacation in a WEEK!

12. The baby signed "banana" today! Also, every time he signs "daddy" it looks a bit like he's saying "Crazy". If the shoe fits...

13. It's date night! We'll spend most of it at a soccer parent meeting, but still...It's DATE night!
