...This Valentine's Day was one of those days.
We've never been big celebrators in the more commercial ways, with fancy gifts, treats, flowers or dinners. Actually this was the first time since we've know each other that we went out to eat and it was fun (and delicious) to do something out of the ordinary as a family even though there were moments when it was a bit stressful taking "two under two" out to lunch on the craziest restaurant day of the year. (We only had one couple request to sit somewhere else) But goodnight, it was such a perfect day.
It was full of all those things that make it hard to have anything go wrong; Kevin had the day off, the weather was sunny and warm, the boys were both healthy and happy and everyone was pretty thrilled to be together. We strolled around the city center where we live, Kevin went for a ride while I played with the boys outside, we walked to a park and just spent time together, without trying to get a million other things done, and it was just what I needed. It was one of the best days I've had in a long time. Talk about a perfectly love-ly (bah!) day.
Sounds like the perfect day!
ReplyDeleteIt was, man I try and savor them when they come because some days are so hard. You know? And since then of course, Drew has been taking no naps and waking up all night. :) Thankfully the hard phases pass too, right?
