Its Gonna be a Bright, Bright, Bright Sunshiny Day!

It officially hit +22C today!!! Dekker was practically scratching at the walls to get outside. No, its not like he usually asks but I don’t want to go, so we don’t. He hates snow, and cries when it touches him. Therefore, we are comfy cozy inside most days. But not today. We played outside on two different occasions today, and I can tell it made him feel awesome. Earlier in the day, it was still a bit too bright for the little Miss, but we made sure she got some vitamin D anyway.

Brady and Dekker played some soccer, and I hung out with Laela, occasionally getting up to take pictures. Eventually, us ladies went inside while the boys played a bit longer.

It was actually Dekker who called the soccer game off and headed inside. They played for a bit longer…

but eventually both kids went down for a nap. While they napped, Brady and I visited for a bit before he went outside to do a few things, and then I watched a bit of tv and tried to plan supper. We had decided on just a solidly yummy, easy, guilty pleasure supper of noodles and jarred alfredo sauce. I came across a recipe for one of those super yummy broccoli salads with all the delicious bits in it. I ran downtown and picked up a good bunch of broccoli for $1. Sadly, they didn’t have any red onion, so it didn’t turn out as pretty as I had hoped, but it still had its yummy dressing, and bacon bits and sunflower seeds. Sooo delicious! I swear I ate half of it before supper.

So needless to say, supper was delish. Dekker is still in his stage of only wanting breakfast food for supper, and he was quite adamant about it when getting up from his nap. But when he saw the salad, he exclaimed “Grass!” and immediately ate a bite of both his “grass” and his noodles. He ate like a total champ without complaining 🙂 Of course, immediately after supper, he went over to the patio doors and somehow opened them himself. We took our cue and grabbed our shoes to head back out while it was still warm enough. It was sooo nice, and a great photo opportunity.

It was sad to go inside and go to sleep. But I am happy that my kids now have a little sun on their cheeks and a bit of fresh air in their lungs. And for Brady and I too, of course. It was refreshing. I wish it would stay.
