Tonight

Matt got home earlier than normal this evening.  He'd originally said he'd like some cold cereal for dinner (gotta love a man who requests cold cereal for dinner every once in a while).  But he was holding Kate when he went into the pantry to get the cereal and she thought the pasta salad mix looked good.  So he decided to whip that up instead.  Daniel and Kate sat at the table with Matt and me tonight.  Daniel fell asleep while he sat on my lap.  Kate leaned over every few minutes to give him a kiss on his head.  He had little bits of the salad sauce in his hair as a result of her affections.  We had a few pieces of chocolate from a Christmas gift mom gave us because she didn't want to eat it all.  We chatted about the day.  Everything had gone well at the office, there seemed to be a pleasant, busy, rhythm throughout the day that made the day pass quickly.  I'd finally gotten through all the laundry and mail that had been piling up.  We cleaned up briefly before Matt's presidency meeting would begin and I would start getting the kids ready for bed.

It was a good day.
