1. My increasing ability to keep my temper. This morning Maren decided to help herself to a second bowl of cereal and dumped the rest of the bag of cheerios into her bowl. The bag was almost half full. It's hard to tell in this picture but the cheerios are all over the floor. I was pretty proud of myself for not getting mad. Instead, I turned around and ran upstairs to get the camera. I laughed out loud when I was upstairs away from the kids so they couldn't hear :)
That event prepared me for what came later, at lunch time. Noah dropped a bowl of tomato soup on the floor and it splattered EVERYWHERE. I was actually pretty impressed with all the places I kept finding it--including in the hallway ceiling an all over the wall in the next room over. I saw the look of dread in Noah's eyes as he quietly said, "I'm so so so so sorry!" I totally kept my temper. And I'm so glad I did!
2. My homemade brownies turned out. They were very good! here's the recipe I used (I doubled it and put it in a 9x13 pan. I baked for 25 minutes. I didn't bother with the frosting): Best Brownies
3. Meijer. It's pretty much the best grocery store ever.
4. Lazy mornings when you don't have anywhere to be--of course, I can't have too many of them or else the kids wouldn't appreciate them either.
5. School starts in a couple weeks!!!!!!!!!
