C. cousin sleepovers- tiring- but fun to watch the kids thoroughly enjoy every minute (plus, then we trade with their parents and take an overnighter ourselves)...Liam HAD to sleep next to Willa on the floor even though his bed was right next to her. then he ended up taking over the mat and shoving his poor cousin off. signs of the time...watch out future wife!
D. letting my husband go on a mountain-biking excursion with some buddies...talk about coming home a new man! i didn't recognize him with all the dirt- and - he was so totally enthused!
E. having Liam on silverware duty. i HATE unloading the dishwasher...just like my Mom does...and i always think Liam is too little to help but found out he does a great job! 
F. i don't swear by this... the midnight showing of eclipse. i think the movies and books are entertaining- but i definitely don't need to stay up till 2 or 3 am to watch it the first night. i had fun with these girls - though i don't know how i got talked into it by Ingrid!- i was so so tired waiting for it to start. don't know if i'd do it again. i guess there is always a first and last time for everything. !
