My Kind of Day

Yesterday was wonderful. It was the kind of day that makes you just relax, slow down, and smile. We began with sleeping in. Thank you girlies:)
Next up was Kelsey's breakfast of choice--cereal. Afterward, we had a mini-photo shoot. Can't get enough of these smiles ;)




Then we went for a walk. It was gorgeous out. I am so used to bundling the girls up that we started with sweatshirts and blankets, and ended with short sleeves and blankies under the stroller. For lunch, Kelsey got to choose. The menu was peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, applesauce, carrots and celery, a pickle, and chocoloate milk. After lunch and a nap, we played in the house and waited for Daddy to get home from school. He had an away baseball game to get to, so it was a short visit, but we loved getting our daddy snuggles in. Next up was the park. Kelsey still likes the swings the best and probably would have stayed on them the whole time if I let her. However, I tried to entice her to try some of the other things out. She would say, "I'll do this, and then can I go back on the swings?"


We also walked to the water and looked for fishies. Along the way we took a few more pics. Megan didn't seem to mind and snoozed the time away. We didn't see any fish, but Kelsey did manage to step in some lovely mud.



When we got home we made supper, followed by baking banana bread. Kelsey likes to help dump everything in the bowl and mix it. The house smelled so good while it baked.To help make the time go quicker while the bread was in the oven, we went back outside to water the flowers and garden. Megan did not like it as much becasuse it really cooled off. Thus, we did not stay out that long, much to Kelsey's disapproval. But, she did sneak in a quick game of "use the bat to hit the kickball around the yard." Both girls got a bath and jammies on in time for warm banana bread and American Idol. What a day! It was easy going and fun. (Of course the day would have been perfect if Daddy was with us, but we know summer vacation is just around the corner and he will be with us everyday!) This stay-at-home mom business is such a special gift.
