I'd like to involve the Mommtudes community more. There are alot of visitors to the blog, but not many comments. So in an effort to involve y'all more - there will be a question of the day (weekdays) to go along with the theme. Eventually, when there are enough readers/comments - we'll start to have giveways from various sponsors. So stayed tuned and COMMENT! :)

So after dealing with the human hurricane (my 3 year old) on Friday, dealing with my Aspie son's meltdowns all week, attending yet another IEP mtg, and enduring all of the craziness that is motherhood while hubby was traveling abroad this week - I am feeling grateful. Huh? Did I miss something, you ask. Yes. Yesterday was a slice of heaven. Hubby returned home! We all spent the morning, jammie-clad, relaxing. DH read the Sunday paper. DD & DS watched a movie together. I continued reading Eclipse. (You didn't really think I could post without mentioning the Twilight Saga, did you? Yes - I'm obsessed. Read it - you'll see.) It was terrific, dumplings!
In the afternoon, we all went to lunch at Hubby's new fave Mexican restaurant and then went to Target to procure snow boots for the kidlets. Of course, the boot-fitting took much longer than anticipated. My little fashionista was displeased with much of Target's selection. She has little criteria, however. An appropriate snow boot would have to include : A.) PINK - princesses cannot be expected to outfit their feet with any other color. Purple is a close second, but pink is the number one choice of discerning princesses everywhere. B.)Faux fur trim - is it even necessary to explain why? and C.)Must be the most expensive boot available AND must be difficult to find her size Here's the princess's final selection:
.
After fulfilling her wishes, we turned our attention to our 13 yo son - whose only criteria was that the boots fit him. Whew!
For the evening, I made homemade grilled cheese sandwiches (complete with 3 cheeses: provolone, swiss, and colby jack and a butter-Laughing Cow Herb spread) and tomato-basil soup. Nummy! We all chipped in and cleaned up the kitchen and retired to the living room for the remainder of the evening.Promptly at 8:00p, the kidlets went to bed (miracles never cease) and DH and I spent the evening watching The Notebook and then stayed up late just talking. It was such a perfect day! It's the little things - like spending the day running errands and making meals together that make everything else melt away.
What is your perfect family day? This can be a day you've already had or a day you wish to have.

You ask for comments, and you shall receive. LOL I understand your feelings...it's tough to break into this blogger world when it seems like you're so late and everyone already has a faithful following. I wish you luck, and keep giving reasons for peeps on SITS to follow you here! :) And all I have to say about the boots is THANK GOODNESS you ended up with a girl - I could NOT hack one! :)
