Happy Mommy

I had to just write a happy little post tonight. The following have all happened this evening:

Brooke had a good day at her new school, which included celebrating her new friend George's 1st B-day,
Blake cooked up some tasty burgers and asparagus,
Brooke and I played on her activity mat and she can wave her toys around like a champ,
Blake was saying "dada" and Brooke was repeating it back to him,
Brooke had a bath and treated me to some hand clapping - her hands together and her hand on mine,
Blake gave her a bottle and I put her in her crib and she was asleep by 8:01 pm,
I think I plugged the mouse hole in the closet, so I can stop my Exterminator job/obsession,
And, last but not least - it is 9:00 p.m. and I am sitting in the yard in a tank top watching the sun go down (and a lightning show over to the West!) with a fresh beer from the keg and messing around on the MAC, listening to a little Dave Matthews, while Blake, Brooke and Thor sleep upstairs, snug in the air conditioned bedrooms.

Blissssssssssss.........





















Oh - and the release of Harry Potter 7 is only 8 days away and I discovered I have a fellow Harry-loving soul at work to geek-out with regarding Finale speculation - she also has brown hair and occasionally wears glasses....Nerds unite!!!
