The Lake Part 2

A boat ride, daredevils, sleepy boys, happy boys, 

and two scary people after getting caught in a windstorm.

Things that made me happy this week . . .

• a sick little boy who just wanted to cuddle
• another little boy who loves doing puzzles, even ones that are way too hard for him
• paint, glittler, glue and air dry clay
• wonderful friends who are willing to save you when your car breaks down
• a bike and bike trailer so we're not stuck at home when said car won't start again
• fun stuff to do within biking distance
• baseball games, and realizing that just because the kids won't sit through the whole thing, doesn't mean it's not totally worth it to go for the first half
• finding out that the local dairy is taking measures to reduce the smell and number of flies
• shasta daisies
• guest appearances on sesame street
• an empty laundry pile . . . even if it is only for a few hours
• playing plants and zombies while BOTH boys nap
• sending a package to my deployed brother 
• the boys getting excited about sending stickers for a sticker club exchange

Now we'll see what the mechanic says about the car.  Hopefully it won't negate all the happiness I'm feeling right now.  Staying positive . . .

Charlie and Peter's Bike Race

We finally got around to buying Charlie a mitt to play catch.  Have I mentioned that he's left handed?  

Yay for best friends!
