Tonight is very quiet. Mario is at the office working, both kids are sleeping, the washing machine is silent and Bailey is snoozing underneath his blanket. I have a stack of library books next to me and a mug of tea but I'm not in the mood for that right now.
We spent the weekend at the beach bundled up. Mario attended a memorial service on Friday and I took the kids to the local library for a warm out of the house excursion. We did enjoy cleaning up our house, quiet date nights at home, and the tourist free island scene. All of that to say that it was an ordinary weekend.
Highlights: lunch with Ann, looking at houses, watching the kids play with their art kits, Goodwill plundering, a bitter cold yard sale, family snuggles in bed, morning coffee made by Mario, writing letters, and eating oatmeal.
I really enjoyed our time together and our insulated family experience. The weekend should be a solid reminder in my mental catalog to just go and to just be more often because it feels good. Eating chocolate feels good too...I should add that to my list of things to do more often too.
