a very good day.

today was a good day! i started out the morning by doing some organizing. i've been wanting to go through our stuff and get rid of things we don't use anymore. it feels good to get rid of clutter. i hate when things are unorganized! i try to keep a very clean, organized house. while i was going through the cupboards in mine and kevin's bathroom, kyri was in there helping me. she found some lipstick and being the girl that she is, knew exactly what to do with it. she couldn't roll it up, but that didn't stop her from pretending to put it on. i gave her some chap stick to put on (which she loooves to do!) and she was quite content. she ate a little bit of it, but i figured it wouldn't hurt her. i organized both bathrooms and it felt great! yesterday i went through our desk, completing the organization of our the office/guestroom. now we need to go through our clothes....yipeee!

while kyri was taking her nap, i was able to do the firm! i tried a new video and it was a lot more fun than the other one. it's called "cardio party" and lets just say it made me sweat. i like to sweat when i know it's helping me get back in shape.

i also got a surprise that i wasn't expecting today. my friend kerri called me and said, "i know you are looking for a play kitchen for kyri for christmas. i'm at ross and they have a little tikes kitchen, in the box and unopened, for $40!" i called kevin at work and asked him if he would pick it up on his way home. it was the only one they had so i knew we couldn't wait. when he got it home, much to my surprise, it was the one i was looking at online and really wanted! the store price is $80 so we saved $40 by buying it at ross! i took it out of the box to check it out and it is so cute and will fit perfectly in kyri's room. thanks, kerri so much! i couldn't be happier with kyri's christmas present. what a blessing and special surprise all in one.

the best part of my day was two little words kyri said to me while i was making dinner. she walked into the kitchen with her hands reaching up to me and said, "hold you." i melted into a puddle. i have been waiting for those words. every time i hear a precious little one say to their mommy or daddy, "hold you", i just think it is the cutest thing in the world. they say "hold you" instead of "hold me" and they have their little arms up the air, waiting for you to pick them up. how can you resist? i will forever remember that moment. as soon as i picked her up, she just cuddled and held on tight. i love my little kyri. everyday she makes my day a very good day.
