Last week there was...
-a road trip.
-a field trip to the Boyce Thompson Arboretum.
-clues that Spring is around the corner.
-a couple of dinners in the crock pot.
-little boys busted for getting into the brownies for the 20th time (refer to second picture from the bottom).
-all of the earlier naughty morning memories being washed away after seeing the little truck/boy scene at the table in the afternoon.
-busting out my good old sweater skirt for the cooler temps.
-dark chocolate...Mayan style.
-Bonding with my Mom.
-Finding the craziest antique store in St. George.
-Enjoying all of the backyard views from some of the homes in the St. George Parade of Homes.
-Alice Lane hands down has the best decorated spaces in the POH. They might have been some of the only ones that didn't incorporate Tuscan and rod iron art.

-going to bed earlier.
-talking down the price of chairs @ the consignment store from $90 a chair to $50 a chair..the power of nice negotiations are my fave.
-speaking of negotiations, Maren thinks there is an option between choosing to either go to 1st grade or dance class...she seriously tried to convince me. She also told the parent helper in her class on Friday that I was being mean to her for making her go to school. I wonder what 7th grade will be like.
-Started back up Mom/kid of my choice date night.
-Maile and her beautiful artwork. There is already a whole "it's almost Mom's birthday shrine" going on in a corner of our home. Streamers were even wrapped around the kitchen cabinet hardware.
-painting with one of my new favorite colors, Martha Stewart "Saffron" (a nice orangey red color).
Almost always happy for a chance at another day and love that sometimes it is the simple things that are the best.
