Beauty is ...

 Beauty is a day like today.  A day where the birds are chirping, the sun is shining, and the kids get to play outside.  We were so blessed to spend most of the day outside today.  After spin, C and I took a walk with a couple friends, then a birthday party at the park, bikes in the driveway, walk around the neighborhood with the dog, and finally a walk to the grocery store with P.  We haven't spent this much time outside since the beginning of fall.

Gorgeous.  I brought hats for the kids, but of course, L wore his and the girls took theirs off.  I even wore one.  The sun was relentless, though.  I even have a sunburn, and I'm nervous to see the kids in the morning, for fear that they do too.

The best thing about days outside?  Dinner!  That's right.  It was so nice, there was no way I was going to make the blue hake, steamed spinach and butternut "fries" for dinner that I was planning.  Instead, we just had some turkey and spinach sandwiches.  Perfect!  Tomorrow, though, its only supposed to be 30 degrees, so much better for baking butternut.

Just can't wait for the Farmer's Market to open so that we can begin to prepare our cold dinners for the rest of the year.  That's right!  Pasta and veggie salads! We can't get enough.  Oh, and dinner on the grill.  Nothing is better than eggplant or summer squash with a little salt, pepper, and olive oil. Yum!
