Today's Smiles

* A husband that is willing to start the car for me in -37c weather. This is especially appreciated since he otherwise wouldn't have had to brave the cold. Incidentally, this only somewhat counterbalances the whole it's -37c, is this even human, thing.

* Watching the cat knock Julia's princess castle onto herself. It's one of those pop-up, tent-type things with a long tube to crawl in and out of. It has two doors. The cat loves it because she can hide in there and attack people who walk by or hide from the kids when they aren't playing in it. Today she leaped out of it and knocked it on to herself. Totally serves her right for trying to attack me. I swear that cat is crazy.

* Hearing from my Mum that there might be an Adrian Mole book out that I haven't yet. I love Adrian Mole!

* Crazy family dinners. These are an everyday occurrence, I'm just appreciating it today. One of the best parts of my day even though half of it is usually spent trying to get at least one of the kids to eat at least something on their plate and the other half is usually spent trying to instill some sort of manners.

* Blogs. In case it's not evident, I'm so happy to have rediscovered this medium.

* I almost forgot (how could I?) - there is a whole new person in this world. My friend had a healthy just under 4lbs baby boy today. After much worrying and an intentionally early arrival, the little dude is doing fabulous.

Brrr....I am starting to hate winter more and more...even with a car starter!

Oh and Yay for Xavier! I was so happy to hear that he is doing well. I would like to go see them but am sure that I am on the bottom of the visiting list.

I don't know why this didn't work last time I posted it but here goes... You should totally head over for a visit, I'm sure she'd appreciate it.

We had the discussion about a car starter but with the car in the garage I'm not sure it'd be a good idea to have it running in there. We've got one on the truck but it's not working :(
