Today I spent my afternoon leisurely by the wading pool at McBurney Park, Elijah splashed and ran, Raphael played in the shallow part and we just relaxed...
Stayed until Closing time, then just casually walked to the transfer stop on Brock Street, boarded the bus, got off at Food Basics, got a few items, then casually walked the rest of the way home, I walked into the door to smell my wonderful Maple Chili in the crock pot, had a nice steaming bowl, and looked over and both kids had passed out for the night, carried Elijah to bed, Raphael is in bed, I am here alone, with my thoughts/reflections of the past day..........
I loved today, the simplicity, not having to rush anywhere, just relaxing, the boys not being fussy, and the gentle breeze that graced my face every so often..... I loved the smell of fresh cut grass as I walked from Food Basics, and the sound of the leaves rustling as the wind picked up a bit as I walked the path out front to my building......and I loved and melted at the sight of my boys asleep, all worn out from their day by the pool....
These are the moments/smells/sounds that I wish I could bottle up in time, be able to revisit these moments in years to come....
Blessings...

sounds like the best kind of summer day :)
I loved the description of your day. My Kelly is 12 and we have those often. About half way through our time in Cuba I asked what her favourite thing was so far. "oh...hmmm....(takes a sip of her rum free pina colada). well...Mummy....i think the aimlessness of our days."
