...today is a beautiful day

I hate writing posts without pictures, but I didn't take my camera with me today. It was too pretty to waste time documenting. My kids needed me today... more than I needed to catch up on design jobs.

So...we went on a walk.

Both kids sported oversized hats and sunglasses they confiscated from my closet. They were so proud of how they looked. My daughter turned to me and said, "Mom, why aren't people outside?? I want them to see how beautiful I look!" It made me laugh.

Boo sat in the stroller and E led the way on her bike. The weather cooperated marvelously and made us want to keep going. And we did. My 4-year-old rode her bike for 2 hours straight.

After arriving home, both kids rode their bikes on our driveway before they decided that they wanted to go on another walk. They held hands the whole way; running and talking to each other. It made me smile and remember what it was like to be little.

We stopped by a water drain and threw rocks in for 10 minutes and then laid on the grass watching the seagulls fly above us. My son, who is just learning to talk, kept turning to me and saying, "Wow! Look at that! Wow! Look at that!" Everything is amazing and new when you are 2!

Not a super exciting day, but one of my favorites. A day of exploring and enjoying each other's company. I need more days like today.
