So lets see...work, come home, cook dinner...work some more! That's pretty much been my day. The weather ended up being really nice this afternoon. The sun was out, I could hear melted snow dripping...such a great sound! All I wore was a fleece pullover and I was completely comfortable. A sure sign of summer!!! Other than the normal highlight of my day which is having the boys run up to me to give me a hug when I first pick them up, I had two other great things happen today. The greatest one being a phone call from Aaron. I was getting the boys out of the bath and almost missed his call but I grabbed the phone just as the answering machine picked up. Logan was in a really talkative mood and he talked Aaron's ear off. Which Aaron loved because it's rare that Logan will talk to anyone on the phone. He was filling Aaron in on everything. Including that we had to park my car outside last night and this morning we had to dust snow of it! The other highlight of my day was that I cooked dinner...and Logan ate it!!!!! You have no idea how great it is to have someone eat your cooking and tell you it's good. It gets really depressing to constantly get told how horrible your cooking is and have someone flat out refuse to eat it...even when you take all their snacks away! Both of the boys chowed down tonight and both were treated to cookies. They were so excited!

The boys played up stairs while I folded clothes. Logan watched Ben 10 and Lane played in the playroom. He was going through everything and even got into the kitchen stuff. I had almost decided to throw that thing away but I guess one more kiddo will get to enjoy it. Lane has been fighting me lately when I lay him down for bed. He does not want to go to sleep by himself. He got a little spoiled when his collarbone was broken and he was sick. I was having to watch his breathing so I put him in the bed with me...now he's rotten. Tonight he ended up crying but finally went to sleep. I know some people think that is just horrible but he was so tired and would not sit still for me to hold him and I refuse to wrestle my kids when they are tired. They only get more fussy and I just get wore out. It's pointless. Plus, he's never going to get back into the old routine if I don't stand my ground. And I have to admit...it's really nice being able to just lay my kids in their bed, kiss them goodnight, and have them fall asleep. That's really the only way I get any "me" time. I told Aaron that I didn't know how things were going to work when he gets home. Logan is determine that he and Lane will both be sleeping in the bed with Aaron and I. Logan informed his dad tonight that he, Aaron, would be sleeping on his pillow, I, mom, would be sleeping on my pillow and Logan and Lane would share a pillow in the middle. He just has it all figured out!

I do want to say Happy Birthday to our nephew Devon. I hope you had a wonderful day. Aaron tried to call but didn't get anyone. He is going to try to call back but I want you to know that we all love and miss you lots.

Well Logan is falling asleep on the couch and I'm about to find a snack and then heading to bed myself. Goodnight.
