A Perfect Saturday

Exercise today consisted of walking all day long, and being out and about with my family.

We went to a mall, had an excellent vegetarian lunch at a place I wanted to try, did a little shopping, stopped at Godiva for Grand Marnier truffles (Boomer loved Godiva ganache. It was his first ever taste) and after a brief rest at home, went to a shopping center where there is a pet store that has geckos, snakes, ferrets, chinchillas, fish, birds, and cats.

It also had a mouse.

I am not kidding, I was standing in the aisle when a mouse scooted not 5 feet from me. Guess some escape and have an all-you-can-eat of the stock of food bags. I am proud to say I didn't scream.

I am also extremely proud that Boomer only had a small meltdown when we left Marshall's without a toy he loved. I have to teach him that we do not get toys at every outing, and, boy, did it break my heart to have to do that. I might get it for him some other time. It crushed me to see that little face scrunch up in sadness and disappointment over having to leave the popup chicks and rabbits at the store. I love him so much that I would go to pieces if I loved him any more.

Dinner was McDonald's fries and a sugar-free iced latte, eaten outside at Starbucks, and lemon cake for dessert. Stefan had his first taste of French fries and lemon cake.

I love the cooler weather. I love introducing my sons to firsts. I love it when we are all together.

What a perfect day.
