It Was the Last Day of Fall Break

Here's what I loved about today:

1. We had no where to be and nothing to get done...except for what we wanted.
2. Allowing the kids a little extra time in front of the tube while I sipped tea and spent time in the Word.
3.  Picking up a craft on the way home from an appointment (made at the last minute and because we felt like it)to keep us busy.
4.  Enjoying the kids spending an hour on something I only spent $3 on.
5. Giving up on planting bulbs, and deciding baking would be much more fun.
6. Spending close to an hour picking out just the right Fall type recipe while The Girl wrote down all of our options each with a "yes" or "no" check box next to it.
7. Making an impromptu trip to Super T to pick up needed ingredients.
8.  Deciding to hold off on the Fall recipe because a trip to Red Robin was necessary fuel for the night ahead.
9. Picking up Karate Kid on the way home from Red Robin.
10. Trying to make a cake from scratch.
11.  Watching my kids watch Karate Kid and loving every second of The Little Man trying out his best Kung Fu moves while watching the movie.
12. Knowing that the movie was a hit based off of the dance routine The Little Man performed for everyone while the credits rolled.
13. Despite my sad attempt at making a cake from scratch, finally pulling it out of the oven and tasting that it turned out way better than I expected. 
14. Trying to convince The Hubs that because the cake turned out good, I now need a Kitchen Aid.
15.Going to bed with my heart warm, and kitchen filled with the smell of sweet Old Fashioned Pound Cake.
