What a beautiful Saturday it was today! The weather was magnificent and it would have been a crime not to get outside and enjoy the day!
Our morning started out with waffles made with a recipe on the Trader Joe's Buttermilk carton. YUM! I added some sliced strawberries and syrup and we were in waffle heaven this morning! David had a dentist appointment so Joel, Connor, and I sat and ate waffles and watched a morning of Phineus and Ferb....such a funny show!
When David got home we piled in the car and headed to the beach. We stopped at a park above the beach for a while to attempt to fly some of our kites we own. Unfortunately the wind was not too constant, so the kites made it up and then back down. The boys had SUCH a great time rolling down the grassy hill, trying to fly the kites, and watching the ocean. I had a fun time sitting on a towel watching them run around...sitting on a grassy hill, watching my children, looking out over the Pacific Ocean....such a peaceful moment!
After a while, we headed down to the sand and Joel went out with David to throw rocks in the water while Connor and I stayed back and made sand castles. Well, I made the castles and Boo-zilla stomped on the castles almost as fast as I could make them. There was no shortage of giggling on his part as he destroyed each of my creations...such a boy! Connor and I joined David and Joel for a while, but Connor is NOT fond of the water rushing over his feet. He proceeded to cry and yell "UUUUP" so we didn't stay down by the water for long. There were many happy moments and fun memories made today. I hope it isn't too long before we go back to that park and beach...it is SO beautiful there!
After Connor went down for a nap and my parents picked Joel up for the night, I went out to dinner with my friends Tara and Jen. We had a wonderful time chatting and eating chips and salsa. We had not been out on a girl's night out in quite a while and Tara brought her little baby girl with her. We had fun taking peeks at her and watching her sleep...such a precious baby! It was so nice to catch up with my sweet friends and I am so thankful for those relationships.
Well, tomorrow begins the week before my surgery. I have SO much that I need to do...like pre-op blood draws and doctor's appointments. Hopefully I can get everything done and organized so that by next weekend, I am ready to play and enjoy my last few days of having both hands! Have a wonderful night and I hope you enjoyed reading my happy moments as much as I loved LIVING them!
