nice day for us

I just finshed painting Justin and Leanna's nails. It's kid nail polish, practically water. So it doesn't really show. I couldn't leave Justin out-he wanted his done too! (It'll wear off by tomorrow anyway). Timothy's napping and the house is pretty quiet. It was actually a very nice holiday. Since my Mom's heart attack she has completely turned her diet around. Her influence has been trickling down to those around her. I never thought I'd see the day when my Dad would like to eat salads or yogurt or smoothies! I mention this because we now have a lot more healthy foods to munch on at these family gatherings. Which is nice. We still had old standbyes like chips and brownies. But we had peppers and carrots and cucumbers too. And Justin tried and liked Kumquats(I think I spelled that right). They taste sort of like a combination of orange and lemons. You need water nearby when you try them. He also ate some dehydrated onions! He has interesting tastes.
But aside from that it was just nice to spend time talking to family. I didn't have to go anywhere and I didn't have to worry as much about cleaning up as usual, because the only one there who doesn't see our house in it's natural state was Uncle David. So I just figured, aww, screw it! We also had Tom home all day which is rare. Leanna especially enjoyed herself today, and that makes me happy too. I think we'll all sleep good tonight.
