Then Jonah woke up. He's been sleeping in underwear instead of a diaper so every morning is a surprise to see if his sheets are wet or dry. Well, he wasn't completely dry but he only got it on his blanket so I don't have to strip his bed. Perfect.
Next Graham woke up. He wanted oatmeal for breakfast. Always better than sugary cereal. After watching some cartoons he did his jobs without being reminded AND without complaining (refer to the post title). Then it was time to pay him his allowance. We are trying something new with different envelopes for him to save his money for different things. His allowance was $3. He put .30 cents into his tithing envelope. Good. Next came the "mission" envelope. Side note: Graham is NOT a saver! He spends ALL his money almost as soon as he gets it, so I wasn't sure how the "mission" envelope was going to work out. Well he chose to put a dime in it. A good start. We were down to the two last envelopes and he had $2.60 left. His last two envelopes were "saving" and "spend". I was pretty sure it was all going right into the "spend", but do you know what that kid did. He put ALL of it into the saving envelope and then said he wanted to save up to $40 so he could get a DS game. Impressive and suprising.
Before Graham left to play with his friends he graciously allowed Jonah to play with is legos (again refer to post title but add the word EVER instead of often). Jonah was in heaven and played happily until he asked if he could call and have Avery come play. Avery is over and I haven't heard them fight once!
Beckham slept till 8:30 and woke up smiling.
How long can my luck hold out!

You deserve it! I hope the rest of your day is just as good.
Happy for you. Sad for me.
We were all in tears by 9:30am.
All of us.
This is going to be a long summer.

Happy happy day! I love good days. You are such a good mommy! Poor Amy...
Can you send some of that luck our way? Well, after you send some Amy's way...
Hooray! Does Beck sleep through the night already? Happy summer days!
Wow....lets keep it going! It must be all those amazing mother skills you have!
Well, I must say that you must be doing something quite right. You are deserving. Maybe I am being punished for something I did long ago... I dream of your day and OFTEN! Congrats to you. I am very, very green(with envy that is).
Lucky duck! That does sound like something out of a dream. I hope the rest of the day worked out as well.
Love days like that! I will keep my fingers crossed your luck continues! Did you get my message? Call and let me know when we can have a painting party!
Good thing you made a note of this. What a great thing to look back on. Of course when you're 80, looking back, every day will have been like this. :)
