Something's in the water

Today was a freakishly good day. Sean-daddy is home, the boys have been wonderful, everything is just good. Both boys started off on the right foot this morning with BIG breakfasts of waffles and sausage. Mason polished off 8 mini waffles with yogurt and 5 pieces of sausage. I thought he would never stop.
Instead of dragging their feet both boys wanted to get to school quickly to show off the boards they broke at the festival. They couldn't even ask for cartoons, because all of a sudden we have no DirecTV. That solves that problem. The house is quiet, but until Survivor night (otherwise known as Thursday) I don't think we will miss it much.
After school Mason breezed through reading, vocabulary flash cards and practiced for his spelling test. He focused so well that we were done in record time and had an hour and a half to play before Tae Kwon Do.
At Tae Kwon Do both boys did such a wonderful job, they LOVE when Master Sandoval teaches because he commands respect but is also very silly. They had their 'listening ears' on, and it showed. Even though there was no class time for a game, they had so much fun they chatted my ears off all the way back home. Both boys are eligible to test for their next belt in early November, and they both want to try. Mason has already daydreamed his way right through the ranks to black belt, of course. He will have to settle for orange for now.
I almost forgot- Blake ate today! Maybe he was copying Mason, maybe I finally made something he liked the taste of, I don't know but I am so happy. He had several small servings of dinner. I feel like I crossed some sort of finish line.
