Ok…so it has been a good week, mostly.
Lots of good stuff…my hubby had a birthday, some good friend time, excursions for me and Mae, laughs and memories, and…of course, the house.
THE HOUSE!
Can ya tell I’m still excited about that one?!
Thought so.
For the most part, the weather has been absolutely gorgeous, too.
I love an upper 70’s/lower 80’s day. That is just perfection in my mind. Today was a little too hot, but it gave me a taste of my Indo weather, so who am I to complain?
Today ended up being a pretty good day even if it started off rough. (And early.)
I woke up with a killer headache around 6:15. The kind that you go to bed with the night before, hoping and praying that you can sleep it off, but it only gets worse.
That kind. It was so bad that even though Maelie was up, I followed my husband’s orders, took five Ibuprofin (I NEVER take more than three…), and crawled back into bed.
An hour later? Headache gone. Thank You, God!
We kind of took our time getting ready for the day.
We took Maelie for a walk, brought her home and let her swim in her sandbox (yeah, yeah, yeah…but how many one year olds do YOU know who know how to properly play with sand?!), and then we headed down to the Farmer’s Market in East Dundee. It was hot. And we walked around for about 30 minutes before giving up, grabbing some lunch, and heading home.
Maelie took a nap for over two hours and so did mommy and daddy. Once we were all awake, we played outside, swam some more, and a friend brought us a couple tomato plants so Mel can attempt to actually grow something in her yard/keep something alive. Wish me luck!
Then we went out for dinner to The Village, a place that friends had recommended.
We tried the double decker pizza, and it was good, but I was so stuffed when we left that it was painful.
We made a quick s top after dinner and then came home and some more good friend time before Mae headed
to bed.
But was MY day over
? Heck no…I went to Target, grocery shopping, and now…at 10:30 p.m., I am blogging. 
You know, when I read over everything we did today, I actually feel a teeny, tiny bit accomplished.
(Oh, and I did laundry in there, too…so there’s some more accomplishment.)
Really, it was a great day. I love days when we just are. We h ang out
as a family, kind of take things as they come, and make memories.
Oh, and here is a memory…even if it’ s from la
st night.
At supper we let Mae eat spaghetti on her own for the first time.
This is what she looked like!!!!
We had a good time laughing with her, and I am SO glad we’ve got pictures to document this. Oh, she will so love us when we pull out this photo when she brings her boyfriend home to meet us someday.
Thank you, God, for memories, laughs, fun, friends…and family.
We are so blessed.
