As I am sitting here in the doorway of Tatum's bathroom as she gets cleaned up, it makes me think of how fortunate we are that I can stay home to entertain Tay while T works. She and I have big plans today. When she is done with the bath, I am going to take my shower and get ready. She is going to play her video game (it is like a Wii for a 4 year old - pretty cool) while I get ready so that T doesn't get interupted. Then we are off to the grocery to pick up cake mix and icing - she gets to pick out both. And I won't be too surprised if we walk out with more sprinkles (I have enough sprinkles to cover the world's largest cake!!). The plan is to make heart shaped mini cakes to take over to Nona's (Todd's Mom's) tonight. She will help me mix the cake mix, icing the cakes and decorate them.
While the cakes are cooling, she and I are going to take Jackson and her babies (three dolls in a stroller) for a walk around the block. It is a nice, gloomy, heavy cloud day in the desert. Most native Arizonans love this kind of weather. It is a nice break from the sun. The desert sky is so different than any other - even though it is all one sky.
Todd has his window open in his office and the smell of the desert rain is coming in. I quickly became a huge fan of the smell of desert rain. It is such a unique smell that comes from the creosote bush.
Well, the kiddo is wrapping up so I will need to move on for now. I will try to write more later.

Heh KID...just got home from work..actually worked today, Fridays always demanding on these old bones. Glad you're having a good one..would love to smell desert rain but must settle for the sweet smell of the nearby drainage ditch..it has its own unique air about it. Our skies were mostly sunny today which was a great backdrop for the clouds of pollution bellowing out of the smoke stacks down on the river. Anyway, always enjoy reading my kid's stories and we're so happy for you that you have a good guy to care for you and a sweet little girl who benefits from being around you as much as you do from being with her. Gotta go..be writing that Thurs. nite letter tonite that i was too tired to do last nite..AAATS, DAD
