The secret to having a good day: Do a lot, but don't do anything.

Benjamin and I had the most wonderfully unproductive yet eventful day together. I love those days. The morning started out by starting late. Sleeping in until 7:30am is a glorious feeling. We enjoyed a relaxing morning eating breakfast, reading books, and wrestling. Benjamin and I were having such a good time entertaining each other that I lost track of time and we were late for a morning play date with our friends.

We headed over to see our lovely friends and their sweet babies. There we found donuts, toys, good conversation, lunch and plenty of teachable moments (you know...those moments when your kid gets together with other kids and then sometimes demonstrates a little bit of ugly). Benjamin had such a good time running around with his pals that he fell asleep during the short car ride home.

Benjamin went down for his nap and I knit on the couch while catching up on The Voice. I probably should have spent his nap cleaning the house, but truth be told I'm sick of cleaning (1 month of having a house up for sale will do that to you) and sometimes a girl has just got to put her feet up and relax. To my credit I was knitting a gift for somebody which will save us money which is sort of the same as making money which is like working which is productive. Oh yes, and did I mention that I'm busy growing a baby here. I'd say that's cause for a rest during the day. (I feel the need to justify my laziness...must be feeling a tad guilty...but not so guilty that I can't sit down to blog about my lazy day)

By the end of Ben's nap we had company in the form of another fun play date filled with more good conversation, toys and teachable moments, of course.

Tag, you're it!

My little pal and I wrapped up the evening with a frozen dinner, playing cars, and bath time. The only way this day could have been better is if we had gotten to spend some time with Jeff. We really miss him when he's working these long crazy hours, but it sure is nice to have a precious little boy to love on and great friends to fill in the gap.
