- taking photos for 12 of 12. It reminded me how much I like capturing "everyday life" in pictures. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to do the scrapbook page yet.
- braiding Georgia's hair and getting some cute pictures of her admiring herself in a mirror.
- starting Organizing 101. I think this class will really help me, but in order to see results, I absolutely must devote TIME to doing the work involved (obviously). I will probably have to scale back on blogging again to accomplish anything.
- eating yummy navel oranges all week. (Sunkist)
- receiving a letter about Georgia's Holter monitor appointment already. I just like this because it gives me confidence in the system; it tells me they're on top of it. The appointment is July 13; quite a bit earlier than we expected.
- receiving comments on my blog. This is a perpetual highlight for me; I always appreciate them very much. (I'm sorry I can't keep up in the other direction though!)
- finding that cool poster from 1948.
- receiving our order from OTC. Despite all of the problems, I am VERY happy it arrived before Madeline's birthday. The items were a big part of her party and I really doubt that I could have purchased them locally, especially at the prices I paid (including shipping).
- cheering on Georgia as she used the potty successfully twice in one day. We'll have her trained soon, right?!
- meeting Mom and Dad for lunch when they were in the city on Saturday.
- making and eating my quick winter fruit salad: apple, orange, and banana cut into chunks and topped with maple spice yogurt (plain yogurt flavoured with VE Maple Spice Fruit Dip Mix).
- seeing Madeline's face when she opened her birthday gift from us: new black and blue western boots. She was delighted! I was worried she might not like the colour, but she seems very happy with them.
- seeing Madeline give her pink cowboy boots to Georgia immediately after opening her new ones. Georgia was delighted too!
- giving Madeline a special Cowgirl Birthday Party. I think she and her friends really enjoyed it. There were lots of smiles and giggles!

Today I'm thankful for:
- our favourite super-quick frosting recipe: Dream Whip Fluffy Frosting*
- our family calendar (More Time Moms) +
- Things (tools I use to keep track of everything)
*Fudge, chocolate, and vanilla are great. If you use vanilla pudding, you can tint it into lovely pastel shades. You can use cake decorating tools and it holds its shape nicely. Not too sweet and so easy!
