grrlTravels: Sometimes 4/1 is just April first

Sometimes 4/1 is just April first

Today was surprisingly good. So good that I was inspired to take out the camera and snap a few photos.

This morning before breakfast my sweeties lined up patiently for juice without even being prompted.

After breakfast was over they cleaned up the mess they had made very quickly. Look at them go!

Later in the morning they all sat on the couch and snuggled with lots of kisses.

At lunch Z. asked for seconds and took a huge bite from the big spoon right out of the pot. She didn't even gag.

After lunch I let the kids ride around the block on the bikes. There was not one complaint, and no one asked if we were "almost home".

After the bike ride the kids ran out back and jumped right in the lake to cool off with all of their clothes on. Oh how we all laughed and laughed.

Later in the afternoon we took them all out for ice cream and let them ride in the back of the truck as a treat. It was so fun to watch them all careening around back there. Oh, they were giggling!

Or. Not.

Happy April first!

I loved this. I'm glad you had a good day, even if it was somewhat different than reported here. :)

Is that spaghetti growing from those trees...? Gorgeous photos, regardless of your liberties with the captions!

I was so happy when I read "At lunch Z. asked for seconds and took a huge bite from the big spoon right out of the pot. She didn't even gag." Then I realized it was an April Fool's joke and I felt sad. My fault for being too dumb to pick up on it earlier. :-(

Okay, I admit you had me going...but I adore the picture of the 3 of them on the couch together. So sweet!

Well it was more of a meditation on what a perfect day looks like to a mother and what it might look like to her kids, but yes, tongue in cheek. The photos were planned to be sillier but the kids wouldn't cooperate. Go figure. And just so we are clear, Z. is not even close to eating a spoon of mac and cheese. It was fun taking the shots of them though.
