It has just been one of those weeks (months, more like)...you know, that started my period, little to no contact with my husband, meltdown Thursday, holy hell the respiratory system is confusing, obscene piles of laundry, pulling four ticks off the dog (gross), eating half a grilled cheese sandwich while standing by the kitchen sink, scrubbing dog poop off little sneakers on our 9 year wedding anniversary while Evan works late, type of weeks. I'm feeling tired today. Taking a quick study break while holed up in the homework room with two snoring dogs. What a week...and the rain didn't do me any favors, but it's sunny today and I am focusing on the things that I love for a moment. Here are 20 things...in random order.
1. Apples and warm cider donuts from the local orchard.
2. Miles is now eye to eye with me...he is quietly stoked...I can tell.
3. Random photos found on my iPad after the boys have been goofing around.
4. Leg warmers...I just bought a pair for $7 at Target and my legs are indeed warm and toasty.
5. Our annual trip to the Halloween pop up store.
6. Watching movies with Miles...he will give any film a chance and I love that he usually ends up liking my recommendations.
7. A little brother beaming because a big brother is coming to see him play soccer for the first time.
8. The Avett Brothers, Guster and Eric Hutchinson...my favorite mix of tunes right now.
9. Brotherly shenanigans.
10. A&P 2...a big honking challenge, but I love it!
11. The sheer unbridled joy that I see in this kid every single day.
12. Sam's gung ho mission to make his room super spooky for Halloween. Mission accomplished...it looks awesome!
13. The shark rock...I loved it as a kid and now my kids love it.
14. Watching Practical Magic at this time of year.
15. Fun photo ops with M.
16. Flannel sheets.
17. Sweet Kiko...the lovey-est dog I've ever met.
18. New Girl and Ben & Kate...my two go-to feel good shows.
19. Candy corn.
20. Nine years of wedded bliss...love of my life, this guy. No one in the world makes me laugh harder, love stronger or just feel straight up happy, the majority of the time.
All good things...very good things, indeed.
