After a few crazy (cranky!) days I decided
today would be a calm one. We would go slow, take it easy, and
do just what the kids wanted to do. The forecast said rain all
day, but the morning was bright and sunny and we ended up
taking a walk to the playground across the street from Alan’s
office. We played for awhile and then he met us and we all
walked home together. It’s the first time we’ve been to that
playground this season and the kids were thrilled! This
afternoon I mentioned that we need to go grocery shopping and
they decided that we needed to go today, despite the downpour!
The last few days we’ve gone shopping it’s been raining…
maybe because on the nice days we go to the playground! Anyway,
we brought the umbrella and rain boots, took it slow, and
everyone had a good time. Then waffles and strawberries for
dinner and a nice, easy bedtime. We need more days like
this!
Eve was wearing the blue hat, his old blue sweater and
sunglasses. She was even asking questions and pointing out
things that fascinated him at that age (reflectors by
driveways, for example!) It’s neat to see the stages over
again.
Walking home with daddy. I was pushing
the stroller. It’s a 1.5mile walk, so they spent most of the
time in the stroller, but they like to walk part of
it.
