a better day than yesterday....

i woke up earlier than usual, started some laundry and did a little cleaning around the house.

watched some general conference.

went with some awesome friends to get pedicures and lunch.

wrote some thank you notes for baby girl gifts while watching some more conference.

but this i think made my day: after the second session of conference i was getting ready to run some errands when joel runs in the house and asks if he can go to the pool because some of his friends were going. i told him it was too cold, plus dad was was taking a nap and i had to go to costco. "sorry kiddo, there's no one to take you to the pool right now." he ran away for a minute and then came back holding a piece of paper and a pen. "okay mom, what are you getting at costco?" i started naming a couple things and he started making a list for me. it was completely adorable, tickled my funny bone, and made me totally giddy with happiness. here's my costco shopping list by joel:


p.s. we call broccoli "trees" in our fam, just in case you were wondering...

i'm so grateful that we can wake up every day and be a little better than the last day. and thanks for all your encouraging and justifying comments.... a girl needs to feel like she's not the devil sometimes.

Cute! I thought maybe he was writing "treats" or that you were really getting trees at Costco. (They sell bare-root fruit trees for cheap. Ha!)

Such a cute list. And when I saw trees I wondered if it was broccoli. That's what we called it growing up!

Friends and pedis always do the trick! That note is adorable and Joel has quite good handwriting!
