The PERFECT Morning!!!

I can't get over how well this day has started!  The kids had another great start to their day, I was able to get myself & Chloe dressed, and we left 3 minutes EARLY to get the kids to school!  Not sure how that happened, AND with everyone in a GOOD mood!!!  Praise the Lord!  Then I was SHOCKED to hear the kids ask me as they were getting out of the car to have a list of chores for them to do this afternoon!!!  What???  My kids are ASKING me for chores!?!?  It's something we've been considering, but this was SO much better since it was their idea!  Hmmmm... guess I'd better get to thinking on this one... the possibilities are endless! LOL! 

After that Chloe & I headed into town and straight to Starbucks to participate in "Free Pastry Day".  I got my usual "happy jucie" (grande mocha) and Chloe was super excited about the blueberry muffin (I was excited it was FREE!!!) LOL!  Then it was off to Wal-Mart... (I had to go pick up my shoes there for my hip hop performance)... who knew that Starbucks can make even Wal-Mart a fun experience!! LOL!   Target was next on our "hit list" so we could pick up The Blind Side & Couples' Retreat because it's New Release Tuesday!  I'm really excited about seeing both of these... I think Jarred & I are probably the only 2 people we know that haven't seen either of these.  Yeah for date nights that you don't have to leave the house and pay a sitter!!!  Speaking of date night... I really need to call our sitter and reschedule that!  Just thinking about it makes my mouth water about the juicy steak I want! Mmmm!

Chloe & I finished our morning up at the grocery store.  Turns out I needed a few more ingredients for our new recipe for the pork and because it has to "brine" for 12 hours prior to cooking we'll be switching the meatballs to today and the pork loin to tomorrow!  I can't believe we finished ALL those errands BEFORE 10 AM!!!  That's got to be some kind of record for us!  I always knew being a "morning person" had it's benefits... who knows, maybe I'll consider making this a habit! 

It's supposed to be a beautiful day (high in the 80's) and Chloe is wanting to have another picnic in the park...I am loving all these special memories and traditions we're making together!  I know in just a few years she'll be off at school too, so we've got to make the most of this time!  Have a blessed day!
