A Good Day

Today was a good day. Today I feel like I was a good mom and I was able to take care of myself too. We all ate breakfast together and than we all went to my dance class together. After dance we went to the park for lunch and playtime. Once we got back home from the park it was time for home made popsicles and a movie. It was such a nice day I decided we couldn't stay inside for too long so off on a mini bike/roller blade ride around the neighborhood a couple times before I had to teach piano lessons. Even with 2 hours of piano lessons today for me, Alexis and Ariana decided to take out games to play and I got to listen to their laughs of delight while I taught and they played go fish, jenga and little pet shop the board game upstairs. I loved hearing them take the time to play nicely together and for soo long without a TV being involved. I thought for sure they were playing with some of my piano students but realised quickly that it was only them upstairs playing everyone else was in the backyard. After piano we finished the movie we had started earlier and than had spaghetti dinner. Dinner did end up being finished in the car while we drove to the gym but the girls thought that was silly. After the gym we all had fun bath time. Alexis did melt down by the end but overall I feel like today I had a good balance in my life. It also makes me wish that tomorrow was another holiday.
