I love my day off - I'm working 4 days a week - and relish that day off with my kidlets. I woke up around 7:20 and proceeded downstairs to start breakfast for the kids to find a cup of tim hortons coffee that my wonderful hubby had brought for me after his trip to the gym - can I love him anymore. I put on the 'hot cereal', as Charlotte calls it, to cook - Bob's 12 grain cereal. I fetched Charlotte who settled down to watch her morning cartoons, and luckily requested 'hot cereal'. I then fetched Nathan. Stefan had picked up croissants on a Costco trip the day before. I ripped one in half and gave half to Nathan. He proceeded to through this on the floor and kick up a stink - why? Because he wanted the whole croissant, or at least the other half too for his other hand. Knowing my son, I interpreted well, and he was soon a happy camper, leaving a trail of crumbs all through the kitchen and living room. Soon, the kids were fed and happy and ready to play. After getting everyone dressed - it was time to get out of the house - a trip to my moms (Tootoos, as kids call her) for a visit. Some playtime at her place, and then off to the park for some swinging, sliding and hide and seek. Nathan is trying to count now, which is pretty adorable!
Now it was just about 11 o'clock, which meant it was time to head back home for lunch and naps. Lunch was rice, carrots, broccoli and parmesan cheese for the kids. For me, I had the leftover valentines dinner Stefan had made the night before - pasta with seafood alfredo sauce (scallops, shrimp and crab) - yum! I managed to squeeze in making two loafs of my favorite pumpkin cinnamon swirl bread before we all settled down for a nap.
Stefan was home by the time we all awoke from our naps at around 4pm. After some playtime and dinner, the night was still young and we thought we could do another outing. We settled on a trip to Chapters where I picked up a few bargain books and the kids played in the kids area. Then it was off to Marble Slab creamery for some ice cream! A catchy song came on and Charlotte requested to dance - so, an impromptu dance party in Marble Slab for mommy, daddy and Charlotte, while Nathan was content to spin in circles and then dizzily bump into walls!
Home to bed, and Stefan and I caught up on Glee with a slice of the fresh bread and our sleepy time tea.
A Good day! Blog worthy, probably not. Memorable - you bet!

I think these "regular" days are some of the best ones out there. Glad to hear that you are getting some wonderful time with your little ones.
