another bragging mom

Can I brag a minute? or 8 or 35999 hours?

I rarely am not proud of our son, but today we had a great behavior day, it started at the library with story time for preschoolers, where he answered the first question asked today with "it is something that you pretend to do and play" when the teacher asked if anyone knew what the word imagination was.....granted he did not raise his hand but he followed this up with raising his hand for every question and when called on to explain what the man was doing in the picture with the dumb bells he replied "exercise is good for your whole body and mind" like some fitness trainer! he offered to help find some lost items and then was so involved with raising his hand, other moms actually asked me how old he was......he seemed like some little scholar......

then we were off to the birthday party and he ATE HIS LUNCH, sandwiches, vegetables and fruit, of course he ate the icing off of the cupcake, but i never gave him the chips or m & ms and he handed me the cake part of the cupcake.....which i ate, YUM! I kept his party favors out of sight until he ate and tried to keep them hidden until we got home......lots of swag and he is blowing bubbles as i type! he just said he wanted to blow a big enough bubble for us to float away in.....now hubby got home and he said the bubble he blew between us meant we loved each other....so sweet

something is cooking

It seems this house has had it, with the weather briefly warm, we opened the windows and aired it out.....but now i notice how when we cook something, anything, toast, grilled sandwich, garlic bread, onions, even cucumber juice I can smell exactly what we cooked in the laundry room....far from the kitchen and also in the craft closet upstairs.....directly above the stove.....so tonight, putting away some craft supplies I smelled the ham and cheese we grilled at lunch........i find it annoying......and now want to figure out how to vent the house in winter!
