Elements of a nice day
- Sleeping in until 6:45. Yes, that counts as sleeping in here.
- Wearing my new green pima cotton t-shirt that I got for $7 yesterday at the Gap outlet.
- A walk to the park after lunch, wherein we swung, bounced, and slid on the old equipment and also discovered that they're upgrading the park with a new play area and awesome new equipment.
- Picking dandelions on our walk, then talking about the colors on the dandelion when we got home and drawing a cool yellow and green picture. It's all scribbles and pointillism, but it's very neat to watch him create.
- Sorting and putting away Kent's toys. I love when all the pieces are back in all the puzzles, all the play food is in his kitchen, and all the blocks and toys are in bins.
- A productive trip to Target, wherein we found an Elmo book (which kept him occupied at the store) and Elmo baseball socks (for his Easter basket) in the $1 section.
- Counting school buses on the way home from Target. Official count: 13.
- Watching Elmo's Potty Time (again) from the library, and remembering how awesome the segment is on how toilet paper is made. Seriously. Here's a video from The Discovery Channel on YouTube that gives you an idea. They make a roll that's bigger than my car, then unroll that onto smaller rolls that are still about 20 feet long, then finally slice those into the rolls we buy. I so want to visit a toilet paper factory now.
- Making veggie omelets, cheese grits, and fried green tomatoes for dinner.
- Realizing that my bad mood and difficult day yesterday were only temporary and that Kent is, in fact, fun to be around again.
