Just a good day

You know those days where everything goes wrong?  Well, we had just the opposite.  For me, it was one of the nicest days I've had in awhile... and really, there wasn't anything out of the ordinary, but everything just seemed to be going right.

The day started out differently.  Lucy had gotten up a handful of times during the night (which she hadn't been doing) but she ended up sleeping in really late... which was amazing!  When Duder got up Gaetan got up with him, so they let me sleep in.  They went downstairs to snug on the couch but it turns out that Duder got up a little before Gaetan and decided to help himself to a drink.  This is what Gaetan found him doing in the kitchen....

Yup, that's a chocolate milk container.  Don't worry there wasn't a lot left but I thought this was funny...

Lucy got up just in time to get ourselves to the library for their ABC time.  We had never been to it but it's basically and hour and a half set up in a big room with all sorts of educational games for the kids.  It was nice because they had some for Lucy and for Dude so they were both occupied.  They loved it.  I didn't think that we were going to stay for the whole time but we did.  In fact, they probably would've played the entire time!

We got home and they were clearly tired.  We had a little snack and then Gaetan had to go in for a meeting before class.  The kids played for a little while and where being really good considering it was past their nap time, but I thought that it would be a good idea to get one in.  I didn't think that they would sleep that long but they did... 3 hours later I hear Gaetan getting home and we were all still napping... oops!

We got a later start on our afternoon but that allowed us to do some more activities instead of having to get dinner started right away.  We rode our bikes on the trail that I normally run to one of the playgrounds on the way.  We played there for a little while but then the kids wanted to ride more so we finished up our ride... 10 miles in all! And let me tell you, my bunda is not used to being on a bike that much!  I think it's bruised...

We got home, the kids jumped in the bath (because they were filthy from playing outside) while I cooked dinner.  Everything was just going well.  They ate well, and went down too because it was later than their bedtime and I think all the fresh air did them well.  :)

For some reason everything was just good.  And I'm happy that I have those days more often than not, and I think that I should recognize them.  It's so easy to just complain about the bad things, but that's not fair.  Not fair to all the good that is in my life.  So thank you for a normal, yet easy wonderful day.  :)
