Pillow forts, sunshine + artichokes

1. Kept kids home from school today with minor coughs and runny noses...in retrospect they were healthy enough to go but wanted to make sure they were 100% for their upcoming birthday celebrations. They spent a good chunk of the afternoon playing in the playhouse their Me-Ma made them (that goes over the dining room table...it's so awesome...) and making pillow forts...
2. Just wonderful news from my dad last night...
3. Warm enough to sit outside and read in the sunshine with the kids this afternoon...bliss...
4. Finally getting caught up on work...it's been an intense few weeks...
5. Hotels booked for Father/Daughter trip...so excited... (thanks, Jeff!)
6. Cleaned and organized the living room this evening, it looks so nice...and made grilled chicken and artichokes for dinner...so delicious...

Happy Tuesday!
