A Sweet Moment WIth Number Two

I had a lovely day today.  I did a lot of things that made me happy.  Getting dinner all ready in the morning again, spending the day helping my sister, having a nice afternoon and evening with our family.  Everyone ate all of their dinner and we had ice cream for dessert (Number Two had to buy it with his own chore money because we have a family rule that if you kiss someone, you have to buy everyone ice cream...he is six, by the way...), and I worked hard on a surprise project for Number One and Number Two.  They fell asleep around 8:30. Then I sneakily moved them to my bed, and Mr. Handsome and I proceeded to take down their old bunk bed, put up a new (to us) set of beds, and then I successfully transferred them into their new beds, all without waking them up. Oh, and I also had to switch mattresses around, so I had to move Number Three to Number Two's new bed while I swapped out her mattress, then put her back in her bed with a different mattress, then switch the boys. WHEW! But it went off without a hitch, and the boys will wake up very surprised in a new bed.Probably my favorite moment of the day, however, was when I practiced a song I am trying to learn on the piano.  I was hacking my way through Moonlight Sonata, and Number Two came up next to me, laid his hand gently on my arm and whispered in my ear, "This is a very beautiful song, Mom!" Then he gave me a sweet smile and scampered off.  That made me feel so good.  All in all, a great day!
