I don’t think you can call this a typical Saturday, but part of the reason I blog is to remember the little things, so one day the children will be able to read about their childhood.

Today was ordinary, special and fun.  Travis took the kids out this morning to give me a small break and it’s funny because you would think I would use that time for doing something special for me like a pedicure, or to go out shopping by myself (which I dream of) or I would catch up on my to-do list.  But, every time he is nice and takes the kids off my hands for a couple of hours, all I really ever do is sleep.  It kind of feels like a waste of this precious “me” time, but inevitably I always end up taking a nap.  It did feel great and I slept well and even though I really should do those other things, sleeping always wins.

They ended up coming back early today cuz Brook has a small accident and hit her nose into some flagstone…she’s fine, she just has a nifty bruise on the bridge of her nose.  Nothing boo-boo bunny couldn’t fix .

Then later on we took the kids to the park and it was great because the weather today was beautiful.  It’s finally starting to be the temperature others get envious about.  Warm in the sun, cool in the shade and perfect at night.  In my opinion, from now until the end of May, Phoenix is the best weather around.

At the park we all played and met some nice neighbors.  And for the first time, Blake played in the sand.  He was interested in the texture and although a little got into his mouth…he didn’t freak out about it the way Brook did the first time she played in sand.  Funny thing is Brook now loves to get dirty and she could play with sand and rocks all day, every day and be completely happy.

When we walked back to our street we ran into Matt, Corey and Sam.  And while we were chit-chatting the rest of the street found their way out of their homes.  It was great…this is why we love living on this street.  We love hanging out with our neighbors while all the kids play together.  We caught up with everyone, cooed over the new babies that were born this year (there were four on our street alone) and made plans to hang out more.  We ended up having dinner with Katy, Ryan and Makenna which made it a perfect ending to this Saturday.

So all in all, it wasn’t an overly significant day…if I didn’t write about it, I’d eventually forget the details.  But, it was a wonderful day.
