Brian has been working crazy hours lately. And, it also seems like I've been quite busy. So, we were pleasantly surprised this weekend to have a very perfect Saturday! To start, the weather was gorgeous -- one of those amazing spring days where the warm breezes blow the rest of winter right away. Brian mowed the grass while Sammie and I washed down the patio deck and Spencer napped. Then we cut Brian's hair outside on the patio, enjoying the sunshine.
Sam enjoyed the freedom of changing outfits several times. Here's a classic... one skirt, one dress, one shirt, one sweater, one monkey backpack, one rabbit carry case, and one stuffed octupus -- that's about all one cutie needs, right?
Brian filled up Sammie's pool while I ran to Subway to grab us lunch... and run a few other errands. Let me just say, I was VERY effective with my little shopping run... in 40 minutes I made purchases in FIVE stores!! (The things a mother can accomplish when Dad watches the kids!) Then we had a perfect picnic in the back garden, smelling that fresh cut grass and watching Sammie wade in her little pool. (Yes, it was a bit chilly for proper swimming, but she did a few slide runs, and didn't seem to mind too much.)
During the afternoon, I took a HEAVENLY nap while the kids slept and Brian talked on the phone with his brothers. Then, the most exciting part... we went on a DATE! It was perfect. (no pictures though, sorry.) Our friend Jenny watched the kids for us, while we went to a favorite Italian place in our old neighborhood. We walked on Primrose Hill, holding hands and smooching at sunset (along with the 100 other couples who wanted to enjoy the finally-good weather). Then, as an extra special treat, Spencer slept well, only waking once for half an hour to eat.
Aaahhhh.... life is good. We will miss London livin'.

Wow! I am jealous of the weather. It snowed here today! Your kids are so cute (and so are you and Brian of course). I have a lot of gifts for you in my basement I am trying to get rid of right now. Mostly they consist of furniture and boxes. That is all I have at the moment.
My Goodness--Wading in a pool in APRIL--how novel!! And what pretty green grass that is! Today's the first of May and we have a really white snowy ground--plus a real true snowstorm is presently upon us--Happy Idaho!!
I'm glad you had such a peaceful, wonderful Saturday--and I'm especially glad that BRIAN was finally able to RELAX a bit!! Poor guy--he's working such late hours again! Love, Mom
Like everyone else, I am jealous of the good weather you've had, but happy that you had such a nice Saturday together. What a treat! I think you need really good days like that to keep you going through the other type of days.
My that does look like exactly a perfect day. How nice to be outside in the sun and then to have a date on such a beautiful day. I'm glad you got to enjoy it with Brian.
