In no particular order, things that make me smile:
- Pirate Pete--a fifteen dollar piece of plastic that is currently haunting our garden. I just love him.

- Charlie's first "drawing."

- Bannana nut bread.
- This post where Connor's mom talks about making her house handicap accessible AND stylish. My kind of woman.
- Cool weather (FINALLY).
- Continued success at Story Time at the library. He's pretty much keeping his eyes open, but now he whines when they turn off the Raffi music--I think it's an improvement although the librarian may disagree.
- Going tailgating at LSU yesterday and running into another special needs mommy that I know in real life. Watch out for the Holland Mafia--we're everywhere!
- The Lady in White in the mail from Netflix. This was the scary movie when I was a kid and I'm planning on turning off all the lights and scaring myself to death. Perfect for this time of year.
