Happy Little Things

Today was such a good day.  Nothing spectacular happened, it was just one of those days where a lot of cool little things happened and it makes the day great.  To start, I got some cleaning done, which isn't really part of the "great day" but anytime I get something done around here these days, it feels like an accomplishment. :P  Then I got some of the Halloween decorations out and Lauryn was thrilled when I let her put some in her room too.  Her costume was delivered today and she was so excited to see it and try it on.  It's a little long but I can take care of that pretty easily.  I love seeing her get so excited!  Kathy came over for a visit this afternoon and it's always a good time when we're together!  I did her make-up and hair and then Lauryn wanted make-up on too.  I've never really done anyone else's make-up before and I think it turned out nice.  While we were visiting, I was surprised when Kathy mentioned seeing the FedEx truck in the driveway, which meant my new vacuum, the one I've been wanting for quite some time now, was here.  It wasn't supposed to be here until at least tomorrow so that made me happy.  After Kathy left and we had dinner, I couldn't wait to try it out and I am very pleased with how well it works.  I vacuumed the whole house! :)  The rest of the evening has been spent getting the kids to bed and relaxing and talking with Lloyd.  Like I said, nothing spectacular, but still a really good day! :)
