everything here is green.
we had storms last week and it left everything happily watered.
i love to be outside in the green and the sun...especially at dusk.
my weekend was full of goodness.
old friends coming to visit, graduation parties, rainbow cake, vacation starting, funny movies...
good times.
i am writing this late in the night sunday because i don't want to forget it.
i loved today.
and tomorrow may not be as good.
or maybe it will?
either way...i want to remember this day.
nothing special happened.
just a really nice day.
lauren and craig played catch.
scott was shooting baskets.
lauren picked out a swimsuit that i could agree to...that is a big deal.
annie seemed extra happy today.
my views in the hammock...with craiggers.
we talked a lot today...he and i.
i love talking/planning/dreaming/laughing with him.
he took me out for a date on saturday...for reals.
it was just what i wanted to do.
and just who i wanted to be with.
the kids jumped on the trampoline while the sprinklers ran.
and there was no fighting...miracle.
also earlier in the day annie and talby played a long time in their room together and i could hear
them giggling like crazy.
THAT is "good day" stuff!
(they jump off the rock wall to the trampoline...im fine with it.
don't comment on what a bad mom i am please...or share your trampoline horror stories...not today ok?)
oh how i love this dog.
it feels silly to me the amount of love that i feel towards an animal...but there is no denying it.
waff-eeee.
craig picked up pizza for dinner.
ice creams cones before bed...in swim suits.
the kids went to sleep without a fight.
then craig, lauren and i watched the 2 hour season finale of LOST.
i wish it wasn't over.
i think it was brilliant television.
i will miss it.
that is an understatement.
craig tried to talk with me afterwards about the shows version of heaven...
i said it was too hard to talk about without crying.
not crying about the show (which i totally did) but crying thinking of what heaven will be like.
i was thinking about all the people who will be there that i know
and who are waiting to welcome me.
it is a lovely thought.
today i thoroughly enjoyed being with my family.
it probably helped that we got away the night before for grown up time...to recharge.
we are better parents after we have been away.
everyone is like that right?
so that is what i wanted to remember.
good stuff today.
monday is summer here.
we will make the summer list....after we sleep in and i drink at least three cups of coffee.
