Daddy and the Dinner Dud

Today's not-so-favorite moments included . . .

. . .  tasting the dinner I'd prepared, then ruefully telling Phillip that I would not be a single bit offended if he decided not to eat it.  He took one bite, then started laughing because it really was so awful.  At least the side dish was good.

Today's favorite moments included . . .

. . . celebrating with Daniel when he achieved a goal that took a lot of effort for him.

. . . Baby Todd grinning and squealing with delight when Daddy arrived home.

. . . reading Harry Potter with Joy.  She's currently on #5, which is hands-down my least favorite, but I still love venturing into Harry's fascinating world. I feel the same way about Star Wars.

And another thing . . .

. . . Friday is Daniel's last day of school, and Joy wraps up next week.  I have mixed feelings about that.  It will be nice to have more freedom to play and do things together, but when you throw baby naps and feedings into the equation we are in serious danger of contracting cabin fever.  Todd may end up eating a lot of lunches on the go.  Thank goodness for those newfangled baby food pouches.
