Happiness is... Part VIII

Happiness is...
* Fresh garden tomatoes eaten like an apple.
* Oaklen climbing into my "nest" when I sit cross-legged on the floor.
* Salem learning how to do math.
* Salem writing and counting up to 100.
* When the city comes to pick up the bulk trash each year.
* A clean section in the basement.
* Changing into a t-shirt & pajama pants after a long day of wearing a dress or skirt.
* The silence after the kids have been rambunctious right before bed and then suddenly asleep.
* Smiling when you answer the telephone, even though you don't know who it is.
* Holding Oaklen's hand almost all night long.
* Chocolate dipped grapes - fresh from my grapevine.
* Finding a seedless variety of grapes amongst the plethora of seeded grapes on my vine.
* Sleeping-in on a Saturday morning then waking up to breakfast in bed and the kitchen already clean.
* The little dance my boys do when Darrell plays a certain song on the guitar, it always makes them start to move.
* Listening to audio books in the car.
* The boys talking to my belly and saying "a-waw-boo baby." (I love you baby.)
* Thinking of silly baby names with Salem.
* Playing board games with Salem out on the porch.
* When the batteries die on certain toys.
* Getting a new camera and learning all the cool functions.
* Watching my boys have such a fun time at Lagoon.
