what a perfect saturday

I could not have asked for a better Saturday. The morning started out cool and sunny...a great start to a fall morning. We knocked out a few errands that had been on our to-do-list and then hit up a Mexican restaurant for some lunch. It was a great lunch. Love Bug devoured her baby food while her brother devoured his plate of nachos. We didn't hear a peep from The Mayor for about 30 minutes while he ate, except when he requested his hands or mouth be wiped clean from the collection of cheese that had accumulated on him.

Because The Mayor took a 20-30 minute cat nap in the car while we were running errands, I made the executive decision that official nap time would be canceled today...due to gorgeous weather. After lunch, we walked around the outdoor mall enjoying the perfect day. Days like today make me so happy. A high of 73, sunny, a cool breeze, not one single cloud in the sky and the leaves starting to change colors on the trees. I just soaked in every single second while we sat in the courtyard and I watched The Mayor run from one end of the fountain to the other while D cuddled with Love Bug.

After running The Mayor ragged around this outdoor mall, we decided to give Love Bug a break and let her come home and take a nap. Poor girl was exhausted and quite the trooper by hanging in there with us and missing her morning nap. Sweet girl fell asleep before she laid her head down in the crib and didn't wake up until we finished dinner. And then went to bed for good an hour after that.

While she napped, we took advantage of one-on-one time with The Mayor and played in the playroom for hours. I think he loved having all of the attention and we loved dishing it out. But missing official nap time this afternoon made for one exhausted boy and he was sound asleep by 7:30.

Tomorrow promises to be the same for weather and we intend on soaking it all in.
