The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, and The Sweet

Every day has highlights and lowlights...here's a list of ours today: The sun was shining all day and we were able to spend some good time outside. Calvin decided to decorate our dining room table with a blue crayon. Our magic-eraser cleaning sponge removed not only the crayon, but also the perma-Sharpie marks from a year ago, courtesy of Cami. I later noticed that the finish on the table was dull where I had scrubbed (I think some lemon oil polish fixed it...I think). We had another healthy baby appointment and got to hear the heartbeat again. And our big-headed baby's big head is pointed down...hopefully to stay. Calvin is still working on his lower fangs coming through. I think they've cut. We also had an unusually successful errand at my favorite second-hand children's store with only minor meltdowns and escape attempts. I was suspicious of their good behavior the whole time. Cami got very hungry for candy at home and helped herself to a chocolate kiss and a sucker..no need to ask, the evidence was on her shirt. But she was honest and felt the burden to confess before I found out, and even showed me where she stashed the half-eaten sucker behind the piano. Calvin performed some kind of update on our computer...not sure yet whether that's good our bad. We got a phone call from Gramma and some adorable Valentine cards in the mail from Grammy, Grandpa & Michael. At the end of the day Cami was getting ready for bed in a sort of emotional way. We had just gone through the baby clothes to get ready to wash, and she said in her weepy pathetic voice, "I'm having a hard time...I want Baby Jude to come out." ...so that was our day and all of its good, bad, ugly & sweet parts...mostly good of course. Even the "bad" parts are laughable or at the worst bearable for all the fun and blessing that comes with these little animals of mine.
