A lovely day

Matt made breakfast this morning (bacon & dutch babies). Then he took the girls to Golden Gardens to play in the sand. Meanwhile I cleaned the house then went to get my haircut. There is just something about a new haircut that makes the day seem nicer. The weather here was gorgeous today (maybe 77) with a slight breeze; just enough of a breeze to ruffle my skirt and my hair but not enough to be obnoxious.

After the girls' naps we dropped them off at school. The teachers were hosting a "parents night out" so we dropped the kids off and they got to play and eat a dinner the teachers made (and ice cream) while the parents went out on a date. Matt and I went to a favorite local spot and sat outside enjoying the weather and the ability to have a long uninterrupted adult conversation about his work.

When we went to pick the girls up we were told that they think Etta had the most fun of any of the kids there. She found a buddy who she was reluctant to part with even when she saw us. There is just something special about the short but trusting bond between a little one Etta's age and a "big" elementary school age girl who dotes on little ones. Etta was walking around holding her hand and loving the attention. Addie did good as well, she played the big sister role and told the teachers when she thought it was the appropriate time for them to change Etta's diaper :)

Now I am at home and about to pop in a chick-flick and Matt is out playing games with some guys. It has been a lovely day!
