So Much Goodness

The past few days have held just so much goodness.

My family came into town on Friday afternoon and we had a pizza party. They played with the kids and then after bedtime, we played games and chatted.

Saturday included C going to the grocery store with my dad, C going swimming at the "show and tell,"(hotel) M's party with a taco bar and cake. So many moments of joy.

My parents got her a Minnie Mouse set, a blanket, stuffed animal and lovey. When we helped her open it she smiled and held on to the package. When we took the stuffed animal Minnie out and handed it to her, she picked it up, smiled HUGE and hugged it and rocked it. It was one of the best moments and of course no picture could ever capture the love and joy right then.

Sunday involved lots of playing, saying goodbye, playing outside and football.

Yesterday our friends threw a Halloween party and it was a hit. We had so much fun!

Today is kind of rainy and dreary, but we've played hard. Singing Halloween songs. I am in the process of making bread and chicken noodle soup for dinner. I also made Pumpkin Pretzels as a treat. Pro tip: just go buy the orange Wilton melting chocolates. My color doesn't look good at all plus then it's one less step!

Also I built a toy shopping cart today. Not that building toys is hard exactly, but usually Husband deals with that stuff. But I built it all by myself and even though pounding the wheel cap thing on took me probably double the time it would have taken Husband, it doesn't matter.

Life is good people.
