What do "normal" families do?
- They don't accomplish ANYTHING on their to-do lists for the weekend.
- Most all of them sleep in until at least noon (the only one that doesn't is pregnant and wakes up to her husbands alarm clock that he set so he could be "productive").
- They decide on a whim to go to the zoo because it is a lovely day outside (71- God really does love me! :)
- They realize upon arriving at the zoo, that everyone else had the same idea, and thus they wait almost 15 minutes for parking... because not only is it a beautiful day, but it is also "Bunnyville" (meaning the zoo has also turned into a secular Easter carnival of sorts).
- They speed through the zoo, stopping at Liam's favorite animals- because the Daddy still has an agenda he wants to follow.
- They end up exploring the local cities near the zoo, after they discover that the bakery they wanted to pick up bread at had just closed for the day.
- They stop on a whim at a BR31, because the Daddy is determined to get the Mommy a free ice cream scoop for her birthday. Unfortunately, out of 31 (or however many flavors they have), not a single one is a sorbet or dairy free!
- They go home, put their son down for a nap (he doesn't take one), while the Daddy enjoys the weather some more with a run.
- They drop off Liam with relatives and head to a little downtown, where they mean to eat at Mommy's favorite little pizzeria, but seeing as how it is overly crowded, they walk a few restaurants down to Daddy's pub and go there instead.
- But Daddy has established a craving for pizza, so they order a pizza to go from the pizzeria.
- Then they return to pick up Liam, hang out for a couple hours more before heading home.
Definitely a "normal" family kind of day, right?! :)
Normal or not, I think I can chock this up to being one of my favorite birthdays! I love spending time with my boys!
