Divine Opportunity

Since Easton was acting fine, but had a small temp the night before and his rash was still fairly visable, we opted for another day at home for healing.  But cabin fever was setting in and we had to get out.

We made the most of our last sick day.
We headed out to the park and met Aunt Kathy, Paige & Bret for some play time!

Thanks for the pix Aunt Kathy!

It was a beautiful cool morning with the sun shining down on us. 
Perfect for time outside. 
Fresh air and Sunshine are good for the soul. 

After the park we were headed home for lunch and a nap but Nana called and asked us to meet her and Grandaddy Baker for lunch.  You know me and The Schedule, and it was already pushing 11:30.  This would NEVER work.  We'd go, he'd be fussy because he was hungry and tired, he'd fall asleep in the car on the way home and wouldn't get a long nap...but screw it.  We turned around.  It's not every day we get the opportunity to have lunch with great and great-great!  And, as Nana called it...it was a divine opportunity. It was good for everyone.  Easton ate as much rice and broccoli as we could fork over and we all enjoyed each other's company.  It was Senior Day at the Captain D's so everyone knew "Brother Baker & Ms. Ann".  We were delighted to meet so many friends. 

And just as if it's what he was supposed to do, he stayed awake and happy all the way home and we took a big nap together when we got home.  Yep.  I'd say it was Divine Opportunity too.   

Sometimes things work out just perfectly.  It's days like yesterday when I long to be a stay at home mom.  Days like yesterday are days I'd LOVE...I know not every day would be like that, but it sure was sweet.  I'll cherish that time forever.
