Saturday Afternoon

Today was an exciting day, no doubt. But we would be remiss if we did not report on the unremarkable, and thus all the sweeter, post-afternoon naps hours on Saturday. Bird, as usual, was up at 3:01pm! Julie swooped in and scooped her up before Our Hero awoke. (He had a bit of a cough all weekend so we endeavored to let him sleep.) After a snack, the Birds hit the road with Bird in the stroller for the first walk of the season! It was fabulous! Bird was decked out in her hoodie, and took Mortimer the Moose and Pierre Le Peacock along for the ride. They walked down to the Starfoxes and, fortified with a chai tea latte (iced, as befitting the spring sunshine), they wound their way home the long way. They bumped into Graham and Connor, both sporting their new kicks, out taking Sara and Derek for a walk. So the Birds walked a few blocks with them before turning for home.

When they got there, they were greeted by Ted and Joe on the porch; Joe, chillin' like a villain with his bowl of goldfish. Once the goldfish had been polished off, we were off again. This time to the driveway so Joe could ride his bike. There was a house a block away on the corner on the Remodeler's Showcase Tour that was going on this past weekend, so we motored over there and poked around. (This would bet he site of multiple mini loader sightings earlier this season.) Then, it was time to head home and mess around on the porch before dinner. Clara went under the furniture; Joe put on Julie's sunglasses.

Nothing to it, but sometimes, that feels like everything.
