A really good day

Today was a really good day.  I volunteered in my younger son's preschool class this morning from 8-11am.  It was awesome!  The kids were great and seemed happy to have me there.  I helped out with letter crafts, read them a great book about camping, played with them in the playground (I pushed the kids on the swings a zillion times), helped them at snack time, helped them line up and wash hands, watched them sing songs and do shapes and colors, and I even got to take a bunch of pictures.  The best part was witnessing my little boy starting to come out of his shell, to participate and to make friends.

Tonight, I made a special family dinner: lasagna and then harvest pie with whipped cream for dessert.  To top it off: as I was putting my older son to sleep he was talking about his two best friends: Jakub and Jack.  I said, as a joke, "Don't forget about me." He said, "Oh Mommy - you are waaaay beyond a friend.  You are the best friend and person I love the most in the whole world, past and present, and in all the 'googleplex' infinity.  You are above and beyond my best friend."  I just wrote it down as soon as I came out of his room so I would never forget. Seriously.... it does NOT get better than that!  

Now onto movie night to spend with my hubby and a glass of wine.  Life is really good.  :)
