Perfect Day

Other than on vacation on the beach, this was a perfect day. We spent the day as a family, at our house doing "stuff" that just needed to be done. I love watching Lindsey "paddle around" behind Ryan no matter what he is doing. He had to change the oil in the mower and we were all out there watching. Lindsey learned what an oil filter is! Ha! Once it was up and going, of course they wanted to "mow" with Daddy. So, I look out the window and this is what I see....priceless! Then Ryan washed our cars. He is so good at this. I love having a clean car. Courtney loves to "spray the green thing" so she helped him wash his car and mine!

Tonight after their bath, they helped put together another cabinet for the toy room. It was very much needed! They couldn't get to some of their toys because they were "piled" into the cabinet. Now, it is nice, neat and organized. They hammered the nails and helped put the handles on too! So cute...


A few other things we did today were:
  • Ryan and the girls went to the square to see the car show. Lindsey asked if people were looking at our car at the car show! Ha! He took both girls AND brought home a Sonice Vanilla Diet Coke. What more can a wife ask for?
  • planted the rest of the flowers
  • hang out with our neighbors and Lindsey rode Emily's bike for a little bit...our kids went back and forth between our houses several times today! I love having great neighbors!!
  • washed the boat inside and out (for our first outing tomorrow at the lake!! Yeah!!)
  • grilled dinner

The girls are in bed. I need to shower and read my Sunday School lesson for tomorrow. Thank you Lord for perfect days like today!
