Quiet, beautiful fall Monday.

October 30, 2023
Day 2,565

Thankful for: 

It was a beautiful fall morning in the forest. 

A quiet day at home with Matt. 

Tobin went to play at Patty's for the day. 

Matt and I had a nice day together. 

Matt and I went to a new store together. We got a delicious sandwich and some ice cream. 

It turned cloudy and rainy. I love cloudy, rainy fall days. They are the coziest. 

We turned on all our Halloween lights and watched Hocus Pocus together. 

Tomorrow is Halloween.

Clean-up day!

October 29, 2023
Day 2,564

Thankful for: 

A lovely day with my kids. 

We cleaned the the whole house today, but I made it fun. I made it a challenge, we put on fun music, and the whole house got cleaned from top to bottom. I kept thinking of the song, "A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down." Unpleasant tasks become fun when you make them that way. Cleaning the house today was fun with my kids. 

We went to Patty and Armando's house for dinner. We had delicious chili and cornbread. 

On the way home, the kids and I sang songs together. 

Texts from Matt. 

The feeling of a cleaned up home.
