Things That Have Made Me Happy In The Past Week

I thought I would write these things down, since it's been a really good week this past week. They aren't in any particular order...just whatever comes to my mind first.

• Having a great time at Daxton's 1st birthday party and our friends and family being here with us.
• Having the Merry Maids come clean the bathrooms, living room, dining room and kitchen the day before the party!! Huge relief and felt SO GOOD to have someone do all the stuff I haven't been able to get to...the floors and showers!!
• My husband busting his butt to get the things done around here that I wanted him to and making our house look that much nicer! Who cares that he didn't get my pictures that we had printed out hung up ;)
• Watching Daxton devoure his cake!
• Having leftover pork sandwiches and potato salad my aunt made!
• Having leftover cake! This is a HUGE thing for me! I LOVE my cake and frosting from By The Dozen Bakery!
• Staying up WAY too late sunday night, lying in bed talking to Nick about Daxton's birthday and everything.
• Having Heather come and take pictures of the party, so I didn't have to worry about picking up the camera at all!
• Xavier staying up the night before the party to help me decorate.
• Drake being so lovey and sweet to everyone at the party...especially my grandma...he even asked her if she loved him. Melt my heart.
• Being told I don't look like this is my 5th baby by 4 guys in an elevator at the doctor's. Ha ha!
• Being told by the doctor that the baby sounds great and things are going well with the pregnancy.
• Our new 2008 Suburban. Ok, technically we got it a couple weeks ago, but everytime I get in it I am in love with it all over again! With a sunroof, heated leather seats, remote start, automatic back door, lots more cargo room, DVD player for the kids, seperate heat/ac in the 4 seats, navigation, back up camera, OnStar, XM radio, and other things, who wouldn't love it?!
• Seeing the "hole" in Toots' mouth from where her first tooth fell out two days ago.
• Spending the day just Toots and I @ a Paint and Fun store painting. Our little outing, just her and I before school starts next week. I painted a big carriage plaque and she painted a smaller one and also a box with a horse on it.
• Watching Toots have a HUGE grin on her face when we all went to watch her at her new gymnastics class last night. She LOVES that class...even more than ballet, she says.
• Angela watching Xandria and Drake today (Xavier was with his grandpa), so I could get some much needed picking up and freezer cleaning done while Daxton napped today. Aah the peace and quiet was nice!
• Nick taking me to Red Lobster tuesday night, because after I watched Jon&Kate Plus 8 the night before, I was dying for crab legs!
• Crunchy bacon...what I've been craving lately.

I know there are more, but time's run out for me. There are some things I'm happily looking forward to...going to Gurnee, going to the Renaissance Fair, and enjoying a long weekend with Nick and the kids before they go back to school on tuesday
