Current mood: blissful
Daddy had to work on his day off this past weekend so to make up for it, he was able to take today off!!! YAY!!! It was the first time, in a VERY long time, he has been able to take a weekday off and we didn't have anything to do.
So we spent most of the day relaxing at the house. I suddenly got a craving for Pat and Oscar's Greek salad so we zoomed over there to get some. Mia was excited to get out of the house and did very well at the restaurant. She ate some breadsticks and for the first time EVER their Mac and Cheese (she usually hates the stuff).
When we were all overly stuffed and happy we decided to go out to the duck pond outside. It has been a family favorite place to go even before we moved out here! So armed with my new camera I was ready to go take some memorable pictures.
Mia was excited to be at the duck pond. She smiled and talked to all the little ducks and even tried to climb into the pond!! Daddy ended up having to chase her around a bit until she discovered how to climb hills! Soon she was up and down the hills over and over, laughing, screaming and smiling. Then she discovered she could chase the ducks!!! So every chance she got to chase the poor little ducks, she did!!! She would get a huge kick out watching them fly in the air away from her.
She was everywhere and we all had such a great time. The weather was awesome, I was feeling sick-free and we all were enjoying ourselves.
Overall the day was great... well except for when we went to Babies R Us and let Mia ride the Elmo car they had outside. When the ride was over she threw the biggest store tantrum of her life!! Ya that wasn't fun.. but that story is for another time. As for now I am off to get some much needed rest and hopefully upload some pictures!!
