A Beautiful Day

It's beautiful outside today. School is out, so I had both kids all morning. We had to do our big grocery run... which I'll admit is not very appealing on a nice day... for mommies or kids. Caleb and Madeline were amazingly non-whiny at the store, so I decided they deserved a treat. We ran home, threw the frozen stuff in the freezer, and went right back outside. We grabbed some happy meals and headed to the park.
Caleb was thrilled with the happy meals. I guess he saw a commercial that showed the trick-or-treat buckets, so he's been asking for one. He must have thanked me a dozen times. Madeline started using her bucket right away to collect berries, leaves, and rocks. (I conveniently spilled them out onto the ground before we got in the car.)
After they ate, the kids both ran directly to the tall slide. Madeline climbed up like a pro with no fear or hesitation.
Caleb was willing to take pictures for once, so I took full advantage. He wanted a picture by the monkey bars, and I think it turned out to be one of my favorites.
We played on the slides, took turns on the swings, and ran in circles... for no apparent reason. (We possibly even watched a drug deal, but I'm not sure about that. It looked a bit suspicious. LOL)
The kids had a great time. Moments like these make motherhood so fun!
Have a park-tastic day!
