A good day

you know how some days when you don't have plans and you're just looking at the wide open-ness of a day wondernig how you're going to fill it? and hoping you get out of the house? the days where there is snuggling late in bed and staying in pajamas for hours and while that sounds good the day just extends before you. our day started that way - what should we do today? where should we go? it's hard to motivate the little guy (okay, and me) early in the morning - so the night before he gets the notice - we have to run an errand today. greeted with a heavy sigh by the boy who would rather play legos or wii or cars than actually get in the car on the weekend to go to yet another store. you'd think he was a teenager already with the range of emotions his sighs contain. yet our unplanned day turned out to be so full of belly laughs and giggles and fun! homemade peach pop tarts in the morning (yummy - but not really worth the effort) - a quick errand to Cherry Creek and then downtown. I bought advance tickets to King Tut and then as we had an open day in front of us I followed Ethan's lead. We climbed on the art sculptures outside, ran in and out and in and out of the fountains (he was soaked!), hide and seek around the huge rock sculptures. Mexican festival in Civic Center park - got to meet Ronald McDonald. E is at the stage where he is interested in what is REAL. Mommy - that was the REAL McDonald, right? then later on that night - it was just a man dressed up like Ronald McDonald, wasn't it? I have a feeling the Santa story will become clear sooner rather than later.... all in all a great day for hanging out with my son :)
