Just a Happy Day

The title is the title to a chapter in Anne of Avonlea-just a happy day. And that is what we had today-just a happy day.

I woke up this morning to Josh leaving the house with all three boys to go clean the church so I decided to stay in bed and read. (Josh and I take turns sleeping in on the weekends-tomorrow will be his day.) There is nothing better than laying in bed, snuggled under the covers for an hour in the morning with the window open and blowing in a soft, breeze promising a beautiful day to come while reading a really good book. I was reading Anne of the Island. I am in love with the Anne books.

When Josh and the boys got home we went out for Brunch. Doesn't that sound sophisticated? I have never gone out to brunch before. We used Restaurant.com (actually Granny and Gramps gave us this gift cert. from Restaurant.com-thanks guys!) to go to Le Cake Chateau-even the name sounds sophisticated! I had french toast (and eggs, bacon and the best hashbrowns I have ever eaten) and Josh had Strawberry and Cream crepes. The boys had oreo muffins and a cookie. It was a sweet and cute little restaurant right in the heart of downtown.

Then we drove to Coronado-just because I have been wanting to. Going over the bridge was freaky and wonderful!

This afternoon while the boys napped I got an hour to read again! Now this is a luxurious day!

At about 2:30 I took the boys (Josh was at work) to the YMCA to swim (did I mention the weather was perfect today? 78 I think and pure blue sky). Turns out it was free day at the YMCA which was just an added bonus! We spent about an hour and a half there with our neighbors. The boys had a blast playing in the "splash park" and I alternated between playing with them and sitting and talking with my friend.

Now we are going to eat pizza and go to Walmart-ok I admit I don't usually consider Walmart part of a happy day, but we have a $25 gift certificate to use up so we are going to get a few more things for our 72 hour kit.

Sorry, no pictures of the happy day, you will just have to use your imagination. :) Ah, I love days like this!
