I went back to doing work today. Charlotte went to her second day of school since we've been back from Indiana. When I picked her up from school, I was happy to see her gleefully playing on the seesaw. As we left the playground, she said goodbye to her friends. As we passed her teacher, Charlotte called, "I hope you feel better!"
Huh? Her teacher asked what Charlotte had said, and I repeated Charlotte's phrase. Her teacher replied, "Oh, I was sad earlier because I lost a puzzle piece. The kids have been taking good care of me today. Thanks, Charlotte." Then we went inside, and Charlotte said, "I need go toilet." To the toilet we went.
On the way home, we went to the carwash. Charlotte was very excited about the "washcloth" and was very interested in the suds all around the car. For the rest of the car ride she thought about how to tell Daddy about the washcloth.
We ate dinner as a family, then Char and Daddy played with a coin sorter. After sorting coins, I settled down with my little girl for a movie. Rather than watching the unexpectedly dramatic documentary about turtles, we cuddled up and watched Tangled. Then we ate a snack, read several books, and a tired girl lay down for bed.
It was a simple day, not extraordinary. But it was a good day.

This is a bit late, but Christine has finally got a KitchenAid mixer after years of wanting one. Right after getting it, Charlotte and Christine made snickerdoodles, fudge, and Christmas cookies, in an effort to keep us thin over the holidays.

It is difficult to believe that this semester is nearly over. A week from today, the majority of my stressful work will be over- I'll still have work, but the big projects will be turned in!
Here is a list of happy things:
- This semester is nearly over!
- My daughter likes to proudly announce "I did it!" then accept a high-five for her accomplishments.
- My husband continues to work extremely hard to take care of our family- I'm proud of him.
- I'm working on a fun paper.
- I found a nice new pumpkin muffin recipe with craisins and walnuts.
- Micah put up a new light fixture in our hallway, so we have now replaced all of the light fixtures in the house except for the bathrooms. Our house is looking awesome!
- Charlotte likes to tell us all about everything now. I LOVE being able to hear what is going on inside her head!
That's all for now.

Dinners:
