Friday Felicities ~ September 26, 2008

Things that make me happy:

~ The fact that it was not me...but the car behind me that got a ticket this morning.
~ It's Friday - and I love Fridays.
~ Friends coming over for dinner.
~ A baby shower tomorrow that Jordan is going with me. She loves that she is old enough to go with me.
~ A great report card from Jordan's 1st six weeks grading period...4 A's and 2 B's. Yeah!!
~ An email from Steph (who is keeping Myles today). It is titled: The difference between girls and boys:

Noelle: Bubby (aka-Myles), do you want to play Sleeping Beauty?

Bubby: Stinkin' Bootie?

Sooooooo Funny!!!....
