Awesome Saturday!

I thought I'd just write down a few thoughts from today, since I considered it a pretty much perfect day! These don't happen too often around here, hence it's blog worthy! Today was a beautiful August day -- a fabulous 75 degrees -- not too hot, not too cold. It felt more like late September. We all woke up and did some chores around the house and I even got to some projects that have been on my list for a while. The house was cleaner than normal, which makes things run a whole lot smoother for everyone -- it just feels so much better when you can see your countertops, windows are windexed, and the table is cleared and wiped down. Love it! I know, I know....I could spend all day cleaning my house because I love the feeling I get afterwards! Anyway, the boys were able to play outside most of the afternoon -- on their bikes with the neighbors. Gabe took a good nap, and then tonight we went to a park downtown that we'd never been to before. It had a great play structure, offered a challenging hike up the mountain for the boys, and Gabe was content people watching and swinging (two of my favs). We only had one tantrum this morning from a certain 4 year old that shall remain nameless, and a little fighting in the car between you know who, but other than that, WOW -- I love Saturdays like this! It's supposed to be 96 by next weekend, so we'll savor the 70s while they're here!
