Just a Good Day

Did anyone else enjoy the 74 degree weather today? The Girl and I spent the morning with the Boy at his preschool. After nap time we ran a few errands and then came home. I put the Girl down for her late afternoon nap and the Boy and I headed outside.

We have one spot on our driveway that is designed to make a puddle. I filled that over and over with water and let the Boy go to town. I thought about breaking out the camera, but opted to just enjoy the moment rather than trying to capture it. (Boring for you, but so nice for me.) He got soaked and the passers by seemed to enjoy it as well. Since the Girl is still asleep in his room where his clothes are, he is now playing quietly with his marble track in his birthday suit.

Not bad for a Fall day.

He Told Me

One morning this week I was explaining to the Boy what our agenda was. I said,

"I am going to shower and get ready. Then after the Girl wakes up from her nap, she will eat and then we'll go to the PlayPlace."

To which he responded,

"Mom...(theatrical pause)...that's not a very good plan."

The Girl's Blessing

We blessed the Girl last Sunday.

True to form, she screamed through the whole thing. At the time, I thought an exorcism would be more appropriate, but this last week or so she has settled nicely into a daily routine and is a very happy and talkative little girl.
