Small Successes

1) Saturday was a very productive day for our family! I went to breakfast w/ some girlfriends while Casinodad took his Series 6 Investment test. (He passed!) In the afternoon, we finished cleaning out the garage. I had started on Thurs. We had a shelf falling apart, so I took it down. We threw out a ton of garbage! It looks much better. Afterwards, we relaxed for about an hour then went out to dinner to celebrate Casinodad's test passing & The Archangel's birthday coming up later this month. He chose Pizza Hut.

2) My faith has really been deepening this Lent. I've been making time in the morning to read the daily readings before the munchkins get up, I've been praying a lot more, & I feel so much more peaceful over all. What a difference this makes in my parenting & marriage, too!

3) Casinodad's birthday was Tuesday. He decided that he wanted me to make him "Breakfast for Dinner." I made pumpkin pancakes, pepper bacon, scrambled eggs, grits, & cinnamon rolls (instead of a cake). We also spent the evening playing a game of Sorry. We had a wonderful evening & he really enjoyed the time spent together for his birthday.

(On a side note, The Princess burnt her lip when I was making the pancakes. She brought the stool over to the stove to see what was in the pan. I told her to be careful so she wouldn't burn her lip. The next morning, I saw a spot on her lip & asked if she'd bitten it. She said no, she burnt it on the pan. Never once did she cry or complain. When I asked why she didn't say anything, she said it was because she was brave. The poor dear was probably too embarrassed to say anything.)
