A List

01. I had forgotten how fun date night can be. It had been SO long since Anton and I were able to go out on a real date. While Antons mom was in town, she graciously watched the girls for us while we went to dinner, shopping and a movie. Then, when we got home, we stayed up until 1:40 talking. I loved every second of our date night. It was so needed.

02. It was Antons birthday this week. "Happy Birfday" is what I have been hearing all week from Lilly. I have also been hearing "Can I have some chocolate cake Mama". She LOVES chocolate cake. Smart girl.

03. I am a little sad that summer is close to being over. I have loved taking my girls to the pool this summer. Lilly has come a long way since her first time swimming this season.

04. Little upset about this one. Claire hates two things. Two of which happen to be things I love. Number one...she hates the double stroller now. Ugh. It was so nice to get my workout by taking them for a jog in that. Number two...she hates to be hot. I can't blame her. Although, now it makes it a little hard when we are at the pool. She is always in the shade, and sometimes she even comes swimming with us. But, her happiness only lasts maybe 10 minutes. Then, she is ready to head home to the air conditioned house to take her nap. Oh well!

05. My cute little Granny is sick. I went yesterday to see her in the ICU, and tonight we are going to visit again before she has her open heart surgery tomorrow. Makes me so sad to think she is sick. We were driving to the Sports Mall this morning, which happens to be by Granny's house, and Lilly asked "Mama, go see Granny?". I told her granny was sick and was in the hospital. She said "Granny need a drink?". I guess she thinks if granny had a drink she would feel better. Cute thing.

06. I can not WAIT for Season 4 of Mad Men to start on Sunday. Love that show.

07. My house is in desperate need of a cleaning. And, I am on the computer. Go figure. I guess I better go!
