The dreamy haze of summer

Some days are hard. Some days I don't understand how parents survived the days before technology. Some days I count down the minutes to bedtime. Today was not one of those days.

Today we woke up and had one of those gooey, snuggly mornings. I made eggs and toast for breakfast while Isaac played puzzles on the floor with grandpa and Shane gave Zoey a bottle. It was all dreamy and magical. Once breakfast was cleaned up and everyone was dressed we walked to the park. There was only one toddler tantrum on the way (I think that is a record for us!) We took turns playing with each kid and running laps around the pond with the dog. On the walk home we stopped at the store for the essentials ... milk and WINE! Since my father in law is staying with us for three weeks I thought I might need to stock up the wine rack.

Home for naps and lunch at which point I actually got to sit out on the deck in the sunshine and read a book! A real book! Not a picture book! There were no cartoon characters or rhyming verses!

Dinner was had and Shane tackled bathtime leaving me with time to watch an episode of scandal I pvr'd several weeks ago. I drank that whole delicious bottle of wine, watched tv, finished my book, and the only price I paid was a sunburn!
