Today is Giraffe's birthday.
Giraffe didn't receive a direct present, but Isaac received an exciting present and that will allow Giraffe to take a trip.
He is Risen Indeed!
I know it was Easter today, but it was a pretty normal Sunday for us. We ended up in nursery this morning. I was a bit bummed not to get to go to the service, but at the same time I'm glad we were able to let other parents participate without having to entertain a young child.
We started a new game that our friends sent us as a surprise. The rules were complicated, but I think after we do it once or twice we'll have it down. We got about half way through today and then took a break.
Ben and I also played games with some friends on-line tonight. One of the games was Space Base. It was an exciting game! Everyone had at least 40 points, but I squeaked in a win with the last card.
Overall, it was a rather normal Saturday. The kids both had afternoon activities, so there was a bit more driving around than normal. Oh, I also replaced a door handle. The door handle to the garage door has been on the fritz for a while, but Joshua was running back into the house to quickly grab something and probably torqued down on it harder than normal and ...it didn't come back to life. It's been on my list to replace for a while, so it turns out that today was the day. I still need to re-key it, but it is a functional handle for now.
I had a slow day today, and it ended up being lovely.
I ambled while getting groceries. I usually speed walk groceries and it was a nice change of pace. I also got the flowers I didn't get last week. I ended up putting them in the cat backpack so that I can enjoy them without worrying about Horizon eating them. Tornado seemed rather worried, but he'll get his backpack back.
I took a morning nap.
I waited patiently while the friend I was meeting for lunch was late.
I went to the prayer room at church.
Ben picked up dinner from Culver's.
And then I tied for second place in the game Apiary while still posting my highest score ever.
At bedtime I was pretending that I would throw Giraffe off the bed. I moved my arm and said, "woosh." It wasn't particularly tricky or anything like that, but Isaac looked towards where it would have been thrown. And then looked for another second before realizing that Giraffe wasn't thrown.
I wasn't even trying to trick him, but we both had a good laugh about it.
