Today just turned out to be the most fun day. Not for any particular reason...okay maybe it had a lot to do with my attitude. I just woke up ready to go, and with a thousand times for patience than the last few. Maybe I was saving up so we could have an extra fun, happy day. Who knows.
We had our Tot Lot Easter Party this morning. We managed to eat, dress and get in the car without any tears. I repeat, any tears. Crazy.
We enjoyed our party, and the girls actually stayed close, and listened to me! Whhhaaaaat? We have our parties at Monte Verde park, and while completely enclosed, it is still big enough that I don't care for my not quite 2 year old to be running all over unsupervised.
They did crafts,
Egg hunted,
And gave dirty looks to the Easter Bunny. Creepy, right?
High five!
I managed to forgo the completey deep fried lunch (corn dogs, mini corn dogs, chicken nuggets) and we picked up some yummy tortilla soup to take home. Again, the girls listened and stayed close. We got in and out quickly and without any tears.
Back at home, Miss Bossy went down for her nap and Brighton and I had quiet time. She literally played silently, by herself for over an hour. Pure heaven. It was a much needed silent hour after the incredibly loud weekend we had.
Stinker Boston didn't sleep very long, so we decided to take a walk over to Chick Fil A for a treat. It was flippin' hot today! I seriously can't even handle 75 anymore.
Then we had project time while I did some chores in the kitchen.
For dinner, we had a picnic in the family room and watched a movie. I let Brighton pick their meal. "Should we have chicken and hot dogs? Both? Is that a good idea?" Sure, why not. They sat through the whole thing, and Boston even snuggled with me for most of it. She is such a cute snuggler when she wants to be.
Here are their "mad" faces. Not so sure about Brighton's!
Then off to bed. And not a peep from them. A perfect ending to a fabulous day with my gals. PS. It might have helped that both girls said, "Mommy? I lub you." about 50 times each throughout the day. Melt my heart.
