Small pleasures...

~Driving on a full tank of gas
~Seeing all the music students, near Berklee & NEC, carrying their instruments around the city
~Decorative paper napkins (thanks, Ikea!)
~Toast and hot chocolate
~Flannel sheets (can you tell it's cold here right now?)
~Hearing a voluntary "I love you!" each night from S as I walk down the hallway after tucking him in
~Talking to my brothers on the phone this week
~A big box of new pencils
~Listening to L play in a flute choir
~Watching 200 5th graders sing "I feel good!"
~CBS Sunday Morning show
~Filling out the NCAA basketball brackets for the family contest
~Daffodils
~Friday night in general...the prospect of the whole weekend ahead!

As always, I'd love to hear from you! What are your small pleasures this week?

Ooh, how fun, I'll play. Here's mine:

Shopping for shoes, Disneyland (yes, finally talked him into it!), finding new blogs, pedicures, house shopping, sunshine, naps & sleeping in, cookie dough.
