Yesterday was a pretty good day.
The baby woke me up at 6:40 a.m. Not great. The day didn't seem promising.
But I rallied and we let daddy sleep in while we played and had breakfast. Just before 9, we woke Ben up, I left for a run (3 miles. And hot. Oh so hot.) By the time I got home, Lyla was down for her nap. After a quick shower, I headed to Starbucks and then Marshall's to wonder aimlessly. My meditative happy place.
Post-meditation, I headed home where the baby was awake and ready for lunch. After lunch, we headed to a local kiddy pool with some friends and their kiddos where we had a blast and I took exactly zero pictures. Rookie blogger move. But lots of water + small toddler = cell phone disaster waiting to happen.
Once our kids were over the water, our friends suggested going to Mugs Up. I'd heard of the place, but never been, so we went along. Mugs Up has been a Columbia, MO institution since 1955. It's a tiny drive-up complete with carhops. Their rootbeer floats are their trademark. Because I'm lame, I don't like rootbeer. I had a Diet Coke float. Like a boss.
Also they only take cash or check (huh?), which we were not prepared for - so, shout out to Colin and Brittany for treating us to lunch!
The afternoon meant another nap for the baby and even a short one for mama. Oh, there were a couple of errands and a load of laundry because this is still real life. But still, yesterday was a pretty good day.
