Nothing huge. Nothing earth shattering. Nothing spectacular. Simply a nice day. For simple reasons. Isn't that the best?* We've been enjoying rain and thunderstorms today. And cooler weather. I love summer thunderstorms!
* We're totally enjoying eating food from our beautiful and bounteous garden.
* We so enjoy doing school as a family--lots of learning, lots of fun.
* We got our state rebate in the mail (about time!).
* We made our own homemade, made-up pizza tonight--"Cheeseburger Pizza" with ground turkey, cheeses, onions, and tomatoes from our garden. Top with Ketchup and Mustard. Yum!
* We played Pictionary (totally worked!) and Sorry tonight and enjoyed it so much. Thing 1 said, "This is one of my favorite things to do as a family--play long games!" Thing 2 loves that he won 2 games tonight. And got a piggyback ride to bed.
* I got caught up on lots of email/homeschool stuff.
* Mark's making a late-night run to get some surprises for the kids. 5-cent notebooks. Their favorites.
* The Friend came in the mail and Thing 1 loves that.
* Thing 2 has discovered that he really likes math and he's pretty proud of himself.
* We have an Open House sign out front for our business. One of our elderly patients panicked thinking that we were selling the house since she LOVES Mark and is so grateful for how much he's helping her. Very rewarding. Her daughter explained that it's an Open House for our business, not our house.
* Thing 2 has discovered (re-discovered? His tastes change a lot that way) that he does indeed love tomatoes, especially when they taste so yummy from our garden.
Simple pleasures. My favorite kind.

I love those kind of days.
Sounds like a great day. And fresh garden tomatoes are the best! So glad to know there's a smile on your face!
MMmm, my favorite kind of day too.
Sounds like a very nice day, I love thunderstorms and rain in the summer also.
Simple pleasures are the best, aren't they? :-)
I love thunderstorms too.... as long as I'm safe inside (or on my front porch, watching them roll in....) We had a REAL doozy here on Tuesday night ... QUITE the "light show", courtesy of Mother Nature. :-)
I'm jealous of your garden. Mine this year consists of 1 tomato plant in a pot on the patio. I'm looking forward to puttering around in your garden soon.
That really sounds delightful! I used to LOVE game nights with my family. We always played UNO of Life. The running joke in our family was that we had to keep playing until Mom won; sometimes our games would go until very late! Can you tell that we're competitive? ;) What great memories you guys are making with those sweet kids!
Good for you! Glad you had a great day!
Yay! Love your comments, everyone. Thank you! Vivian, we are SO excited for your visit!!
