A Lovely Day
Posted By Kristabella on November 5, 2011
Do you ever have an awesome day and it is unexpected and it just makes you smile from the inside?
That was my day today. Even though I got little sleep, was up before the sun and had to take two children with me on the bus and train, it ended up being one of the best days ever.
My brother and SIL ran a 5k this morning downtown. And since they had to be there at zero dark thirty, the whole family ended up staying with me at my house on Friday night. On top of that, my mom was taking Skyler to see Pinkalicious this morning, which meant we all had to be downtown early. Much earlier than Auntie is used to getting up on a Saturday.
But it was fantastic! We had a very interesting bus ride, with a very smelly person. It was so smelly, I had to get us off the bus about 14 blocks before I had intended. But it was THAT bad. And we were sitting in the way back of the bus. Skyler and Noah got the public transit experience in the fullest!
After dropping Skyler off with my mom for the play, Noah and I were on our own for an hour. We decided to go to the Hershey store and get some hot chocolate.
We were joined by my brother and SIL and it was time to pick up Sklyer after the play. We walked around the American Girl Place store (holy crowds and overstimulaton, Batman!) and the Lego store and then we went to lunch.
We ended up at Gino’s East for some deep dish pizza and some beers. And it was just an awesome day to spend with family.

That sounds like a totally awesome day. Even if you did have to get up at “zero dark thirty”.
(Pinkalicious play and American Girl store all in one day? My girls would have been throwing up from excitement. Skyler is a lucky girl!)

“The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another’s desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.” ~Erma Bombeck
It WAS a great day!!!!
You are the best Auntie! They’re lucky to have you. 🙂
