I read a book by that same title once and I always contemplated what my "perfect" day would be. I think I finally figured it out. I woke up at my usual time of 5:30am on Saturday morning, but luckily I was able to force myself back to sleep. When I woke up again, I was shocked to see that my clock said 7:38am. And my son was still asleep!! How in the world did that happen??
Anyways, we were all up by 8:00 and took our time eating breakfast and just enjoying each other. Nate left for a quick run, while I wrangled Grayson into clothes and somehow managed to get myself showered. We left the house a little after 10 and headed "downtown." We made a quick stop to order Grayson's b-day cake, which I am very anxious to see next Saturday. From there we headed to the local Farmer's Market. We didn't have any real need for anything, but it's such a fun place to be on a Saturday morning. We walked the aisles and stopped to listen to a husband/wife team play the guitar and sing some catchy tunes. I think Grayson would have stayed and listened forever. He is so into music and guitars.
By the time we were done listening to the music our stomachs were rumbling. We decided to walk to Chipotle for a quick bite so that we could continue to enjoy the beautiful weather and the contagious downtown atmosphere. Lunch was delicious and Grayson was so good and funny. He is such a character these days and will do just about anything to get a laugh out of you, so it was a very enjoyable lunch.
We headed back home after that and just relaxed and enjoyed the afternoon. I even dozed on the couch while Nate handled Gray's dinner (I'm turning into such a slacker now that Gray is "daddy's boy!"). We finished the evening with a walk to check out the puppies and "diggers," Grayson's newest obsession, in our neighborhood, followed by a bath and reading books together in our bed.
So like I said, I finally figured out what my perfect day would entail. My only question is why has it taken me so long to figure out that the perfect day just means slowing down and enjoying the sunshine and cool breezes with my two favorite guys? Life should always be this simple.

Grayson Jacob
My Little Man
Otherwise known as Gray or Bug, our firstborn is quite the little athlete. He loves all things sports, and talks quite often about being a "professional" when he's big. He has a gentle soul and loves being a big brother. Some of his other favorite things are music, creating art, running, and figuring out how things work, even if it means destroying something in the process. He turned 5 in July and is thoroughly enjoying Kindergarten.
Scarlett Hope
My Little Daredevil
AKA Lettie or Monkey, our little girl is quite a spitfire. Scarlett turned 2 in September. She definitely has a mind of her own and is very strong-willed. She loves to climb on and jump off of everything in sight. Some of her favorite things are books, baby dolls, and monster trucks, though not necessarily in that order. She has a flair for the dramatic, a great sense of humor, and loves figuring out how to make people laugh.
