The Perfect Saturday

Yesterday Nate and I dropped the kids off with some friends and ran a race first thing in the morning. We pounded out 4 miles in 41 minutes and a few seconds. We ran together the whole time and it was so nice. Like a hot date to start out the day. Bonus: Nate totally won a raffle prize and hooked us up with free mini golf and a loaf of Great Harvest bread. HECK yeah.

We headed from there to pick up the kids and hit up our library's used book sale, where we walked away with 11 books and 6 cds for $8.00 total.
Later we got to do finances, which is never a favorite and unfailingly leaves us feeling grumpy and poor, but it was time for dinner at that point, and we decided to head outside and pick a few ears of corn from the garden to go with our turkey burgers. About an hour later here's what we had: 
AKA: the windows of heaven opening up and pouring out a blessing we haven't room enough to receive. Somehow I think we're going to make it.

Then Nate and I made dinner together while the kids watched some Elmo's World. Then we ate, left the dishes, and played with the kids until bath time, which was so awesome. And after we got them in bed we spent the evening working - straightening up, and then Nate on actual work and me on Primary (oh - by the way I got released from YW - I'm the Primary secretary now!) and a talk for Sunday. What a great day!

Nate the daredevil

We had one more adventure last Saturday that Nate was too embarrassed to write about. Before our hiking excursion we went to Liberty Park to feed the ducks. Addison had a great time in his stroller soaking up some rays and watching the lake and the people and the birds. We tried hard to avoid the seagulls, which are gross if you've never had much contact with them, and to get to the two ducks that were around, but competition for that bread was pretty fierce, so Nate decided to make the geese work for it (since they're the only ones that would). The documented evidence makes me wonder who was working harder, though, and who was more scared. Must be those ferocious beaks or the powerful weapons they like to call webbed feet. Notice Addison's feet in the video where you can see them.

Golden Parenting Moments

Several weeks ago, Nate woke up feeling gung-ho on a Saturday morning and decided we were going on a family sledding trip. I was a grump, but went along with it anyway. By the time we found a decent place and got a good trail worn down the kids got snow in their drawers and it was time to go. We had a great time, obviously. Poor Nate! .
