Oh what a beautiful day

Things we did today:
  • Started our day at the Falls Church City Urgent Care to get Keegen checked out for what I was certain to be another ear infection. And it was. Thank goodness for amoxicillin and Tylenol! And thank goodness for my dear sis who came by and picked up Bode and took him to the park with her girls (and yea! that I hardly waited at the urgent care, too!)

  • Ate lunch at Pie-tanza in Arlington. Very kid friendly and oh-so-yummy.

  • Got a pedicure. Erin gave me quite the treat by taking my kids to her house whilst I snuck to the nail salon. She put Keegen down for his nap and Bode and Fiona played and played and played. It was the best pedi I've had in forever (I don't get them very often so really appreciate it when they get down through all my dead skin to the fresh stuff...).

  • Not only did she take my kids for my pedicure, but said I should go ahead and go shopping, too. I didn't give her a chance to change her mind. Off I went to Tysons and got new clothes for Bode (and a couple things for Keegs even though he's got more hand-me-downs than i know what to do with). And I discovered a great store called Lucy. Comfy clothes that aren't too sloppy? Perfect. You all must think that I live to shop, but if you lived where the shopping is as pathetic as I do, you'd understand!

  • Met the kids at an UNBELIEVABLE playground where we only scratched the surface. It's called Clemyjontri. Sweaty, stinky, worn out kids. Wonderful. If you're ever in the NoVa area and your kids need some fun, it's worth checking out. As Bode would say, "I very wish" i had my camera cord so I could post my pics, but that will have to wait.

Sounds like you are having an awesome time. You do know that there is a Lucy up in Denver, don't you?? I believe it is right next to Title Nine and something else good that I can't remember right now.

and that park looks AMAZING!
