I really should probably be ironing or finishing laundry right now, but sitting down every night to post something on this blog has become a great way for me to wind down, look back on the day, and once again appreciate all of the blessings in my life. Of course some days those blessings are a little easier to find than others...but they are always there.
Today Cooper and I spent the day together. McKenna loves her new class at school and didn't want to miss out on anything that had to do with Ms. Lorraine's class. I can only hope that she maintains the same attitude about school for the next 12 years. Cooper and I ran all kinds of errands. We stopped to get his haircut, shopped for a new TV, and went out to the house for awhile, and braved the Farmer's market. Mimi was kind enough to pick McKenna up at daycare and bring her home so I could get some stuff squared away with the new house. (I would go into greater detail but it's too painful to recount at the moment. Let's just say I will be SOOO....glad when we are done with this project.) After a quick trip to Target for a wedding shower gift we were back home for supper, baths, and Sesame Street. Cooper has started to really enjoy Elmo so it's fun for us to watch him react to seeing Elmo on the TV. McKenna was the first one in bed tonight since she skipped out on a nap. A nap that I would have gladly taken for her if given the chance. Cooper followed quickly behind her, stopping first to make sure his music was turned on before heading to his crib. Sometimes I am amazed that he is my child. McKenna was always a challenge to get to sleep. Not Cooper. Thank goodness for small favors.
I tried to get some good pictures for tonight's post, but couldn't really catch anything new. I'll try harder for tomorrow. I know I haven't been very good about pictures lately.
Though it's only Wednesday, we're all looking forward to the weekend. Saturday is my cousin Nicole's wedding shower AND the Penn State vs. Ohio State football game. I'm sure most of you will be tuned in so let's hope for a good game and another win for State!
