This day was, randomly, the latter! It was like the stars aligned and everyone got along and we had SO much fun together...doing nothing! Weird, right?
We started off the day with a workout and the boys went to childcare. We then headed to the grocery store to stock up. I am to the point now where I try to time all shopping trips so that I go without kids, so they hardly go with me any more. Since they got to go this time, it was like a big treat to them- ha! They were entertaining themselves with the shopping cart for most of the trip.
Normally, this had the potential to drive me to start drinking at noon (not that I do that..........), but they were cracking up and laughing so hard and really, just being little kids... I made myself take a deep breath and just enjoy it. I know. Who am I? Like I said- stars were aligned or something.
Then Andy hopped off the cart and said he wanted to "chill in the freezer." Clever little wild man, huh?
Because they were so good at the teeter, they got to pick out a lunchable- the ultimate treat! They wanted to eat their lunch on the back porch...with the sun shining like that, who am I to disagree? (sweet dreams are made of this....anyone? anyone? I love the 80s).
After lunch, they wanted some rest time so they took their iPads to the porch and had a little down time...
Then they decided it was time to head outside to play. Can I just jump in here to say how much I love having brothers this close in age? They play together constantly (yes, they fight too....), but it is like a built in play date every day!
They cruised around the back yard and stopped a bit to play soccer.... then the truck broke down and I had to come "tow" them back to the garage to charge 'er up.
They took a little more rest time together--
Then moved the party down to the floor. I had the doors open all day (this is January, right?) and I LOVED listening to them talk to each other and laugh together. It made me happy!
We headed to swim practice-- I wrote about Andy doing well in his practice Sunday so we wanted to keep rolling with it on Monday. He was getting confident and having fun and that made me proud.
So it was a totally random day, but one that I will look back on one day and think "wasn't that a fun, random day?" so I had to write about it.
So boring and mundane, but so perfectly sweet to me.
xo!
