Mom's best friend: the vacuum that cleans not only the floor, but also the table, the chairs, the high chair, the crumbs out of my bed... (WHY are there crumbs in my bed when the kids are only allowed to eat crackers in the kitchen?) Mom's next best friend: the older brother who can entertain his sister for five whole minutes so Mom can get the vacuuming done and about two other quick things before he gets bored and they come back to hang on my legs again for attention.
Surprise of the day: Todd came over for a visit and asked Archer if he could take Shelly home with him. Archer said no. "I need my sister!" It makes my heart swell with joy to hear my son say that about his sister.
When Shelly sees that she's about to get what she wants, she squeals and claps her hands.
Its the little moments, day by day, that keep surprising me, and making this parenting thing one joy after another.

I would be so grateful if Archer and Shelly have the same big brother, little sister relationship as Charlie and Lola as pictured on your blog. Sounds like its headed in the right direction!
