At lunchtime this afternoon, we were playing outside. Instead of eating 'real food' that I made, I was eating an orange donut, aka an orange sidewalk chalk egg that my baby girls 'made' for me. Way better than anything in the world! 

I know I say it all the time, but I have to say it again. My daughters are awesome. They are fun and smart and sassy. They jump up and dance the minute they hear music. And while we were outside, they were singing songs, making up the words as they went along. So freaking cute!

Overall, today was a pretty great 'mom' day. Even though we had an issue with markers (all over my child's arms- early tattoos?!) and they were sassy, they were great. And I kept my cool. And let's be honest here, that made all the difference. Because two year olds, especially mine, are pretty predictable in their attitudes. My attitude and my actions are the variables in the situation. So today was a good day for us. A really good day. 

And to make my really good day just that much better, my husband rocks. J and I are not big gift givers. He has never done the 'I just got you this because...'thing. And that is so ok with me. But this evening, he had a gift for me, just because. It was an awesome gift that I have been wanting for a couple years now! A red belt buckle that says 'Cocky'- think Agent Booth on Bones. I am so loving it! Even though money is tight right now, I am happy he got it for me. Because he got it for me. And I am trying not to be the crazy obnoxious wife. 

And my new belt buckle rocks.
