Today couldn't have been more perfect: 75 degrees, sunny with puffy "animal clouds" (Jack's terminology), harmonious, cooperative boys, and a general feeling of well-being. We went outside at 8:30 this morning, set up a car wash to wash all the bikes and toys (I weeded while the endless car wash was accomplished), played in the swimming pool with the ball-pit balls, and didn't come inside until 11:00 for lunch.
While I made their lunch, the boys shared their giant box while watching Mr. Rogers. Both boys ate their lunch nicely (I made Jack a train out of yogurt, raspberries, pretzels, and tomatoes, which he ate entirely before consuming the cookie wheels), and then promptly fell asleep for nap. I cleaned up the lunch dishes and then fell asleep myself.
We all awoke around 4:00 for a snack and then back outside for water-table fun and more car wash until Brian came home. I spray painted part of the swing set while Brian supervised the kids. And then we all came in for yummy leftovers. Honestly, I can't think of a better way to spend our day.
