TGIF

Well, we made it through another week. Today Bella and I went to the gym and then ran around town doing errands. I had a gift certificate to a posh place that I had never used and it was just about to expire, so we had an extravagant "Ladies Lunch" before we came home. We ordered whatever we wanted to eat. Bella had macaroni and cheese and lemonade. Mommy had corn & crab chowder and Filet Mignon tacos. We colored with crayons and talked about Princesses, The Flintstones and our upcoming trip to Yankee Stadium. I couldn't have asked for a better lunch date. Then we headed home to do laundry, work a little and mess up the house (should have been clean up the house, but we messed it up instead).
Tonight as we were winding down and Bella was getting ready to go to bed, she curled up next to me on the couch and let out a big sigh and said, "It's good to be home."
I couldn't agree more.
Enjoy the weekend. We will.

Wishes Do Come True

Yesterday, Bella was sitting on my lap so we were looking at each other face to face. I had a little piece of glitter on my cheek (when you have a 3 year old daughter, there always seems to be glitter around).The conversation went something like this:
Bella: Mommy, you look sparkly!
Mommy: I do?
Bella: Yes. You have a sparkle right there on your cheek.
Mommy: I wonder where that came from.
Bella: Maybe from a shooting star or something.
Mommy: Maybe. (smile)
