Dear Friends and Family,
I walked into the weekend free and clear of chores and it felt great. The laundry was done. The dry cleaning was picked up. The birthday present was picked up. The library books were picked up. All the little things were done. We still needed groceries and a Target run, but it felt good to have all of the other stuff done.
We went out on Saturday to go apple picking. We picked a small farm this year. On the positives, we got to pick honey crisp apples, it wasn't crowded, and we didn't walk away with a car full of apple accessories (e.g. apple donuts, apple cider, apple bread, apple pie). On the negatives, we got eaten alive by some small bug, we had to dodge the bees, and there were no tractor rides. Still, we have a fridge full of apples and that's always a good thing.
On Sunday, we went to a birthday party. P had fun once she got used to the mob of kids and the noise. Then, we tried to go to a baseball game. It was delayed. We tailgated. It was delayed some more. We left. They ultimately played. We submitted our tickets for tickets next April. The seats won't be as good, but I guess that's better than no compensation. Mr. mouse will probably look for a game later on this season to give P a chance to go to batting practice and run the bases.
P and I had good naps on Sunday. And, we built a fabulous little set with our Lego. It started with a step pyramid that morphed into a pizza oven. It went from there to a food truck that morphed into a Google car that can drive 24 hours. We added a place for people to hang out in the rain and then bar seating for the pizza restaurant. Life didn't feel complete, so we built a zoo and a restaurant with a beach. A Daddy brought his two kids and their three pet giraffes. And, then the fun began of people buying tickets to pet the giraffes. P dressed up for a party they were going to have at the zoo. But, then, Mr. mouse insisted on selling tickets to the party and it turned into math night. It was still fun.
And, now, it's Monday. This week feels like it can be even better than last week. I'm going to see if I can take on more. I may try clearing the kitchen counter. I may. I may not. We'll see where this leads.
Cheers!
