What a great day

Today was pretty random and ended up being...perfect. I took Paxton to school, and with Gauge in tow decided to stop in on Ryan at school. Ryan just happened to be finishing up with some things so we decided to get the heck out of there and go to lunch.
I can't even tell you people the last time Ryan and I went on a date. Its our fault really, we aren't really trusting with babysitters. Well, mostly me. That and we don't like to ask our friends to do it in place of a babysitter (most people have their own stuff to do). Anyway, this lunch was so great! We hit the Olive Garden, a nice change from Betos although definitely not a replacement.
Gauge fell asleep and Ryan and I had time to ourselves.
After lunch we took a power nap since Gauge was sleeping-
When we woke up we picked Paxton up from school and headed to the Creamery for Ice Cream. Paxton quickly ordered Chocolate. I don't even know how he knew there was chocolate (I never buy ice cream)
After Ice Cream we hit the park and played for... forever. The park was clear because it had been raining out and we chased each other, we slid down wet slides and got soaked. Gauged jumped through puddles. Paxton and Mom became Super Heroes and saved Gauge from Daddy. Daddy was put in jail (specifically because we don't kill people, that's wrong!)
I felt like I was on cloud nine.
Its been quite some time since we have all just thrown our responsibilities to the wind and just enjoyed each other.
We came home, the boys had a bath, ate happy meals and were put to bed.
I didn't have my camera, but wanted to remember this day so I had to post it although I did get the above picture of the boys in the tub.
It was just one of those days that make you feel blessed to have what you have. That's how I felt all day!
I love that summer is here. I love that I am pregnant. I love that I have a happy family. I love my family! I love my job. Most of all, I love my life. I am so happy!

That is the best! You know I feel the same way. It's amazing how things really do just work out for the best. I couldn't be more blessed and I need to take more time to just enjoy the small stuff. I love that you all just had the day together. That is awesome:)
