My family and I had a PERFECT Sunday. I mean every bit of it, every moment, PRICELESS!
It started with church that morning and I sat next to my MYKA and ASA! I love looking at her with her baby, she holds him like a trophy! One would have to see it to appreciate it. But she is in love and over the moon with this baby! He makes the sweetest noises. :)
After church we went to the mall and shared a chinese food meal at a DEEP discount due to the guy knowing Matthew. You can't beat a whole tofu meal with veggies and rice piled high, 2 eggrolls, 1 BIG eggdrop soup, and 2 biscuits for 6 bucks! It filled us all up and we then got a starbucks. Eli loves the caramel frappe'.
We walked around the mall and I bought some clearance shirts for Remy for our vacation packing. After that we went to Target and I found two pairs of shorts really cheap for him as well. I am done with his shopping. :)
We came home and the boys helped Matthew clean the pool. I was mowing the grass and they just BEGGED for some swimming! Guess what, we gave in!
The water was almost 70 degrees, but TOO COLD for me. Matthew and I did yard work and the boys moved through the water feeling free and very cool. The birds were singing and flying around. The sun perfect in the sky. Magical. What else can I say?
In the pool the boys found a...
CRAWFISH!
In the pool! Best we can think is he was blown in during the storm we had here a few days ago. Can't believe the chemicals didn't kill him.
I found a cicada larva while cleaning up outside.
The kids LOVED this! I guess we will be bombarded by them yet again this year. They were out in huge numbers when we moved in the house in late summer. The birds just have a feast!
We came in and got ready to go out for dinner. We went to olive garden and it was YUM-O! As we were leaving Remy saw baby house geckos all over the wall eating the bugs. He caught one and brought him home. :) I took pictures today. :)
So there it is...a day like a mini vacation. A taste of what is to come and I can't wait to leave for out BIG vacation!
