I completely forgot to do my three good things yesterday. Eeeeee! I actually completely spaced on them. That was the first time I've just blanked on them altogether. So now I have to remember what was good about yesterday. If you know me (and my memory) you know this is a challenge. True story.
But, here's what I can recall:
1. Having my brother, Curt, over for brunch. He comes over often for a weekend day brunch and we chat life and politics and he plays with the boys. I'm pretty sure that I've had this as one of my good things before and I can pretty much guarantee that it will show up in my good things again in the future. I don't consider re-using the same events over as cheating though, because it happens often and it's something I very much look forward to and is always a bright spot in my day, in my week, and in my life.
2. On Saturday, we had a really low-key day at home. Friday was busy -- amazing, but busy -- so Saturday was nice. We did a lot of relaxing. Grayson napped for three hours (!), I laid on the couch while he napped, and Carter half watched tv with me and half played video games with his dad (yes, parents of the year, for sure). And there was a lot of just playing with Gray's new toys. It was a lovely day.
3. Doing a puzzle with my Mother-In-Law. It was so nice to cozy in on a Saturday night and work on a puzzle with her. We've had our issues in the past, but we definitely connect on some things - some things that I don't even connect on with my own mom: we both do puzzles, we both like crappy reality TV, she would come to yoga with me, or for a pedicure. On top of that nice connection, it really was just my perfect idea of how to spend a Saturday night.

At Swimming lessons, Carter always wants to get one of those candies from the 25 cent candy machines. I hate it when he gets those because I want to wash his hands before he eats anything with them, especially when we're out in public. I do think that, in general, that's a good practice to continue, but sometimes, it's just not practical. After his lesson, he was out with Jeff's mom and he had candy. I very badly wanted to ask her if she washed his hands (which I know she wouldn't have). But I didn't and I just let it go. LET IT GO.
DAY 37 - Sunday, October 30, 2016
1. We had a mini party for Grayson's birthday again today. It was his "kid" party. It was super low-key and felt more like a play-date than a birthday party. It was perfect.
2. That smell of fresh-out-of-the-dryer laundry. SO good. Also, I got a shit-ton of laundry done today.
3. We carved our pumpkins today. So late, I know. But it was fun and the kids enjoyed it. Grayson especially loved blowing out the candle: not helpful, but very cute.

Not always immediately washing my hands before eating any food with said hands. Even when I'm home, I'm pretty anal about this, but I'm trying to let that go a bit. It's hard.
