Jul. 3rd, 2011 04:03 pmI'm writing this down so we can do it again. It's been a nice day.
Slept in a bit (6:30), then got up and went for a run. A wussy run, but a RUN! Perhaps I shouldn't feel so naughty running around the track at the Islamic school in a skimpy top--nobody's there at 6:45 am on a Sunday anyway.
Came home and the kids weren't even up yet. When they got up, I made bacon, eggs and lemon scones for breakfast.
Gave James a break by taking the kids to the West Seattle Farmer's Market. Got strawberries and spinach. Hung out at Coffee to a Tea for a while, messing around on Facebook while they played with the toy trains and airplanes.
Got home just in time to make lunch: sandwiches, cherry tomatoes, strawberries. We ate outside because the boys had been riding their "motorcycles" while I got lunch ready.
James took the boys to Fry's. I put Ellen down for a nap. I need to get her up momentarily, but I've been baking the afternoon away: cupcakes for little strawberry shortcakes, brownies to cool and fold into homemade ice cream, soon I'll make pizza dough for tonight's dinner. Probably what I should have done is start making the parts for the boys' fire truck cakes for their birthday party next weekend, but no, we'll eat all this in the next few days. Tonight, assuming anyone shows up, we're having a few people over for some low-key socializing.
And tomorrow is the 4th of July. I'm sick of the explosions already, but I'm glad we'll have an extra day with James around. I hope it will be as pleasant as today has been.
