Today, was precisely that day.
A day that was all us. Full to the brim, but in that magical way that leaves you energized, excited, in love and wanting more.
A day of long morning walks in sweaters and socks. A day of donuts and fun erranding for supplies for fun to come.
A day of experimenting and mixing, delighting and giggling.
::Gloop, 2 parts glue, 1 part liquid starch, a few squirts of food coloring, endless parts fun::
A day of long naps for my big girl and no naps for my little one. A day so great that it didn't matter. A day of spending that precious time with my littlest, doing our favorite exercise tape. A day where I was reminded yet again of how much cuter toddler thigh dimples are than my own. A day where I couldn't have cared less about my thigh dimples.
A day of celebrating being together, presently and calmly. A day of cake baking for no other reason than we love it and it tastes oh so good. A day of mixing and measuring spoon licking and snack time decadence, because who can wait for dessert when fresh cream cheese pecan frosting is involved?
A day with an impromptu date night, so rare, so welcome, so well timed. A night alone with my worn out boy, to just be us, as we are, take a moment, or 60, and be.
A day of mixed emotions. After such a hard week, this day feels like the right day. Not those other hurried flurried flustered days. Today was the day. A day where we've enjoyed so much and been so happy. An easy us day.
All it took was a day. A beautiful wonderful awesome amazing day. And we're back.
