Happy Thoughts

Things we've been doing or things in general that are making me smile these days:

*painting polka dot finger/toenails on me and the girls * Elle being back to 100% normal health & personality * sneaking out for a late afternoon movie date with my hubby * Nie Nie's recent post (her writing moves me) * air conditioning (our current lack of it makes me appreciate the miracle of having it!) * finding sugar-free frozen yogurt at our favorite ice cream place * holding our new niece and nephew * my cute friend Rachel re-emerging for social outings post-baby * Paige's toothless grin * The Broadway Theater where great small-budget films are shown * that little bit of time after the kids have gone to bed that's just mine * my Blackberry * Elle's progress with potty training, losing the binky and sleeping in a big bed * spending early morning time with my sister and her brand new daughter in the hospital the day after she was born (Erin did that for each of my 4 kids and this was my first chance to be there for her) * my mother's new social life * a short but sweet visit from my favorite college roommate * annual traditions * SYTYCD * sun-tanned children who smell like sunscreen *

Happy indeed. I'm loving getting out too - and loving that Broadway theater! And again, I'm loving your playlist...

What a fantastic list. Life is GOOD! :) We found a dollar theater (okay $2) near our apartment here, and we're SO excited to go see Harry Potter again when it comes there. Good times.
