Just a perfect day

Amongst all the crazy, rushed, stressed days there are days that are perfect. Not picture perfect and not without some mishap but overall, at the end of the day, I can say, "Today was a good day."
Today was that kind of day. Bennett did wake up extra early like he sometimes likes to but was in a good mood all morning. We made a trip to the grocery store and when we got home the weather was too gorgeous to stay inside. So we grabbed some toys and headed to the backyard. Bennett helped me water our veggies.
Then we had a picnic outside.
After all that time outside, Bennett was ready to have a nice long nap. It was a long enough nap that Eric and I were able to put the flowers in the ground that we had bought a couple weeks again. We even had a little time to relax.
After Ben's nap, we headed over to a bounce house to "chump, chump.". (Ben can't pronounce "j" yet). He had a blast there. It's only his third time going to one but he's finally confident enough to have fun. Eric is so great about going on all the things with him. Only problem is the Bennett doesn't want any other kids on the same bouncy as him. I guess he'll learn.
After we had our fun, we headed home for a yummy dinner. Hamburgers and grilled corn. I think summer has officially arrived
Days like today seem especially perfect since we've entered the "terrible two" stage. Seems like lately most days are filled with tantrum after tantrum. We are navigating through this stage as best we can and reminding ourselves "this too shall pass.". It always does.

"It's such a perfect day, I'm glad I spent it with you."
