Mine are asleep. All three of them. Thank goodness.
We've had an awesome but busy day, which began with the Canton Lions pancake breakfast and the Liberty Fest parade. The kids collected some candy, but not nearly as much as last year. The parade was much better attended today.
Then it was home for Kelsey to rest and to get the family ready an afternoon at the pool. Today was the kind of Michigan summer day that makes me forget about our long (and mostly miserable) fall-winter-spring. Blue skies. Low 80s. Barely any wind. A few clouds passing by here and there. We haven't had too many of those in the past few weeks, so it was very welcome.
Ken had to work, but around 2:00 I loaded up the kids and headed to the pool for a few hours. The kids had a great time. Our neighbor joined us, and she was great with helping me and entertaining the boys. Brendan made a new friend and saw old ones. We indulged in ice cream treats and just enjoyed the day.
But now the kids are in bed asleep, and I'm enjoying a most beautiful evening. (Ken's still at work. He's not having the ideal Father's Day weekend.) It's calm outside, clear skies, and I can see a three-quarters moon over my shoulder. I'm looking out at the green space behind our house, which is the size of two football fields. It's lined by trees, so I can't see any homes on either side. I'm listening to my iPod on my portable speakers (which are awesome) and typing away while sipping my strawberry margarita. How relaxing!
