unexpected fun on a monday night

Don't you love it when a day turns around from kind of crazy and muddy to fun and easy? Yesterday was the perfect example.


Morning and afternoon: Running around trying to keep the house "show ready" for three separate showings, one of which arrived thirty minutes ahead of schedule. Dragging the baby and dog to the park for lunch and playing since it was such a nice day, but dealing with the confused barking dog who didn't want to be tied to the stroller while Levi played at the playground. We left the playground all three covered in dirt/mud and mosquito bites. Weren't mosquitos supposed to be gone by now? October?!

Evening: Go over to Ian and Nicky's house in Leesburg to help them retrieve a large (300 pound!) vanity for their bathroom remodel. Not only did I not have to do any of the work (someone's gotta keep the baby out of the way), but we were also handsomely rewarded with homemade lasagna, fudge for dessert and time to reconnect. Levi had a wonderful time, too, and even helped put away things in the fridge. Seeing him carry a large container of salad and put it away was hilarious. Levi and Andy went home and I stopped in the nice, quiet Leesburg Wegman's to do some much needed grocery shopping all by myself.

I love it when simple surprises sneak up on me like that and make a Monday feel like a Friday.
