Good Day.

Yesterday was a really good day.  After a quick trip to the bank, and Hobby Lobby for a zipper, we headed to Bella's first swim lesson of the summer.  She was so excited about swim lessons, and spent the rest of the day telling me just how much she loved them.  I may have a little fish on my hands, we will just have to wait and see <3  After her lesson was over, we met Vince for lunch at Panera Bread.  His office is a mile away from the pool where Bella takes lessons so this worked out nicely.  When we got home, I did a little cleaning up and Bella began the process of cleaning her room.  Around 2, she laid down for a snooze, and I visited with Jen Hamilton for a bit.  She caught me up on all the summer theater drama while we had a glass of wine.  Bella ended up sleeping for 3.5 hours so we didn't make it swimming that afternoon.  Instead, when Vince got home, she finished cleaning her room while we worked on cutting up and dragging away more of the downed trees in the side yard.  After an hour, we called it a night on tree work, and headed inside to get cleaned up.  Bath time for Bella and shower time for me.  Once I was clean again, I finished up B-bo's flower girl dress and it fits her perfectly.  She looks absolutely adorable in it, and I'm pretty proud of myself if you can't tell ;)  Vince made a late dinner of brinner for us and we sat down to the kitchen table at 9:45 to eat.  By 10:30, Bella was happily snoozing in her bed, Vince and I were both stretched out on the sofa watching tv, and a massive thunderstorm was raging outside.  When we finally did stumble to bed, I fell asleep staring at the stars on our ceiling and listening to the rain on the roof.  I.slept.soundly.

Now, I'm up and I need to make a second cup of coffee before Bella and I launch into action for the day.  When Vince gets home from work tonight, we will be loading up the car and heading to spend the night with Keri before catching our flight to Houston in the morning.

Time to coax a 5 year old to get dressed...
