One of the Best Days of my Life.

It was going to be such a beautiful day today that I knew I just had to get out of the house with the kiddos. We headed down to Bricktown to walk around and enjoy the weather.

Every time I wear Myer in the sling, people here FREAK OUT. They stop me and ask me allllll about the sling and is he comfortable in there? and oh look how cute he is! It's like they've never seen anything like it out here! I've learned that if I need to get anything done, I just can't make eye contact with people while we're out and about and he's in here, otherwise I'd have to stop and talk to every person that walks by us. Today, though, we had absolutely NO agenda, and I got to really enjoy random conversations with people about Myer and his mode of transportation.

Ezra doing "big arms!" in front of the fountain.

We ate at Sonic, which normally I DO NOT like, but today it was tasty and the employees were so sweet and fun. Also, there was some random Disney Dog movie on one of the TVs and Ezra was mesmerized. So cute.

My attempt at a shot of the three of us. Ezra and I split a Marble Slab ice cream cone. Oh, and I dipped Myer's pacifier in the melty goodness a couple of times, but he didn't even seem to care. Whaaaa? Who's child is this??

Happiest boy on planet earth. This kid is such a joy to be around. I was laughing so hard all day long just because of the funny things he says and does. Like, on our way home, this pedestrian wearing a headband Hulk-Hogan-style darted out in front of us and other cars and then realized his mistake and ran back to the corner to wait his turn, and Ezra yells out "Mom! You totally almost got that Pirate!!"

I. was. dying.


Bricktown.

Myer slept most of the time. He LOVES being outside, and never even makes a sound when we're out and about. If he's ever fussy at home, I usually just have to walk him out on the back deck and he's instantly fine again. I think he likes the way the breeze feels on his face.

After Bricktown we stopped in at my favorite book store so that Ezra could play trains. I nursed Myer and caught up on all the new children's books that are out (I absolutely love children's books and I follow the happenings of the industry pretty closely. In my opinion, there's nothing better than a really good children's picture book. There have been quite a few great ones released lately, btw.)

I lost myer's paci somewhere in the bookstore, so we made a quick stop into Target where I found the AWESOMEST binkies ever. This one says 'Hi', and the other says 'No Comment'. Very clever... I like that in a paci.

By the time we got home, both kids were fast asleep and I got some quiet time by myself at the house. Chris came home not long after that, so we all went and ate pizza at the place down the street- and then I got to go out by myself after the kids were in bed. I went and spent my forever21 gift card and wandered around feeling like I'd never been happier in my life.

Maybe it's all the fresh air and sun and exercise I've been getting lately. I just feel so content and satisfied these days, it's all I can do to not start singing at the top of my lungs everywhere I go.

la la la la laaaa la la !
