This is the perfect day ever!

According to Lauren, that is.  What does it take to be a perfect day for a 3 year old?  Ironically, I had just been thinking that this has been a perfect day.  Or as perfect as it can get without Publishers Clearing House showing up on my doorstep.

After work, I picked Lauren up from Nancy's.  I was a little late because I passed my old neighbor, Lara, outside & had to go see her twins.  They are already 1 & anytime I think I have it rough, I will reconsider because of her.  Anyway - on the way home, I told Lauren that tomorrow is Saturday.  

Me:  Lauren, you know what tomorrow is?

LG: Yes (her standard answer rather she knows the answer to the question or not)

Me:  Tomorrow is SATURDAY!  You know what that means?

LG:  Yes - what?

Me:  It means I get to stay home all day with you tomorrow?

LG:  ALL DAY?

Me:  Yes!

LG:  (squealing with excitement) YEAH!

We got home & I remembered that our neighbor is having a birthday party for their granddaughter - I forgot to RSVP.  So I call & tell them Jaci is in Louisiana with her grandma & she'll be sad that she missed it.  When I was giving Lauren a bath, I heard lots of noise outside & peeked out the window.  There are about 15 kids about 6 feet from my house in a huge blow-up pool.  They are having a time & all I'm thinking is 'I hope they don't plan on leaving that pool up!'

So I thought I'd be a cool bloggin' momma & type this while Lauren was in the tub.  So I'm sitting on the toilet thinking how great this is working out.  But then she has to poop - so I get her out of the tub, she does her business, etc. & I stick her back in the tub.  I resume my blogging & she resumes making a gigantic mess in the bathroom.  Finally - I decide its not such a good idea & put the computer away.  This is Jeff's beloved Mac Book Pro & I'm pretty sure he would kill me if it gets wet.  So even though a good 1/2 hour passed between paragraphs - I wasn't lolly-gagging.  Just bloggy-gagging.  haha  I'm so lame.  But I might need to trademark that word.

OK - stay on track Crys.  

Before the bath - we had a great dinner.  Lauren helped me 'paint' butter on the shrimp & sprinkle spices, then we broiled it.  Not bad at all for a last minute dinner.  Then we had watermelon from Charity & Justin's garden.  Lauren had juice all over everywhere - from the top of her head, down to her waist.  I was just wishing Grandpa Haney was here.  She kept putting seeds in her mouth just so she could spit them out.

Jaci called me today, just to ask what her email address was - her & Emily were signing up for a neopets website or something.  She said she is having a great time & she has another loose tooth.  She noticed it was loose while she was eating a sausage biscuit that JoBeth made her.  She has really bad luck with sausage biscuits - she was eating one at McDonald's with Unk when she noticed her first loose tooth - and he pulled it that day.  I told her she should go ahead and let Choo Choo pull it.  JoBeth told her when you loose a tooth on vacation, the tooth fairy leaves you double the money.

KK & Unk left today for their 2 week Baltic Sea cruise.  Charity is in Boston.  Jaci, JoBeth & crew are in New Orleans.  We are a traveling bunch!  

Hope y'all have a perfect day ever too.  Be sweet!
