The weekend was pretty much perfect, thank goodness. It started off well, with a “daddy-daughter” breakfast outing to the coffeeshop on Saturday morning. $8 for enough food for all three of us? I’ll take it, especially since the novelty and fun of it set the whole day off right. The good weather encouraged lots of outdoor time, including – for the girls and me – a long walk after breakfast, a good bike ride before lunch, and another walk on Saturday; then a morning bike ride and an afternoon walk in the Arb on Sunday. The girls verily fell into bed tonight, and were out like that.
The “Arb walk” was gorgeous and fun. Vivi danced along to the various Wiggles songs she mastered earlier in the day, which entertained Julia and me and quite a few passers by. In between glances at the setting sun, we also found some good walking sticks, though Vivi liked one that was a bit disproportionate to her stature. Fun for all!
It kills me that they’re wearing hoodies that are sizes 24 months (Vivi’s) and 4T (Julia’s). They’ve worn those sweatshirts since Christmas 2007!
p.s. Readers please note that I completed 18 credits of home-study professional CEUs while the rest of the family partook of the gorgeous weather and their wholesome weekend activities. Ugh. (Thanks for the peace and quiet, honey!)
