We couldn't figure out the timer on our camera, so we had to take separate pictures .Of course the day that I want to sleep in, I wake up at 6:00 and can't fall back to sleep. So, I took a bath while Keith took the kids to Walmart to get some donuts. Then I got back in bed so I could fulfill my wish of breakfast in bed. Alec brought me a card and Annika brought me flowers. It was all going well until... Keith broke a window! Alec had just thrown Keith a soccer ball- a really good throw- and Keith wanted to reproduce it. He just threw it to the side without thinking where it was aimed and hit the window. (Side note: I do not keep soccer balls in the house as a habit. Keith had just bought it for Alec that morning.)
Keith cleaned up the glass and the rest of our day went pretty well. Alec melted down at church and I had to take him out, but that's typical lately. We took the new bike trailer for a test ride and the kids really enjoyed it. Poor little Annika was a slightly squished next to her brother, but she was a trooper and didn't want to get out when we got home.
We grilled some Isle Royale steaks, which are meat rolled up with peppers, onions, mushrooms, olives and cheese. They were very good. And of course we had chips and dip as an appetizer. Alec loves dip! Annika likes to dip, but she doesn't like to eat it, so she dipped all my chips for me. What service!
We had beautiful weather and the whole day made me thankful for my family. Since the weather has been nice, I find myself in a good mood everyday and I enjoy my kids even more. They have so much fun running around in the yard and woods and they are great helpers in the garden! In fact, we are going to go out right now and do some weeding!
