Well, hello! It has been another good day. When we woke up this morning, we were going to go to a gymboree class, but LJ was a bit fussy. He was up EARLY, and I knew that class might be the last thing he was up for. Instead, we decided to enjoy the gorgeous weather outside -- it was a high blue sky with no clouds, and I could tell it was warming up. I texted our neighbors, The Guthrie's, to see if they wanted to go to the park with us. She suggested we get out the running strollers and run there, and we decided to pack a picnic lunch to enjoy that.
It was wonderful for the kids - and the moms! With about a 15 minute run there, we found the playground and let the kids play. We swang, the boys went up the stairs and down the slide, up the stairs and down the slide, chased the pigeons and the squirrels, then up the stairs and down the slide again. It was hilarious.
After about 2 hours, (maybe a bit less?) we took out our food and had a picnic. LJ isn't too keen on sitting down if he's not strapped in, so I chased him around and put food in his mouth. Jenny gave me a peanut butter sandwich for LJ to try, and he ate some!!!! Wow...if he'll eat it sitting down without me chasing him around, it could open all kinds of lunch options for me. :)
So, then we ran back home, and Lj and I hopped in the shower, trying to get the sand out of his hair. He loves to dump a bucket of sand on his head. When he went down for a nap, almost sand-free, I laid down, too. It was nice -- we both had a little nap then headed to the nearby mall to look around.
They have a Teavana, ( you know I love that), and I even was able to buy some k-cups for my coffee maker of Gloria Jeans coffee, (Tammy, I thought of you - I know how you love their coffee! - I can send you some). After eating dinner at Chic-fil-a, LJ and I headed down to the first floor to play on the kids play area. In a word: chaos. There are kids everywhere, running, jumping, pushing, pulling, but LJ was in his glory. He played so hard!!! I loved it - he's becoming so independent, but still runs full-force to me to give me a hug. It melts my heart. There were so many cute little ones -- a little 20 month old boy, who probably weighed 20 lbs. sat in my lap and hugged me. Kids are the best.
Upon returning home, we went and said goodnight to the Guthries and played a bit. LJ loves it -- what a blessing to have them so close by.
Well, that's our day...I hope you had a wonderful day, too. We miss you guys and love you lots!
SEE YOU IN TWO DAYS, LANCE!!
