We went night swimming. If there's one thing better than floating in the sunshine, it's laughing and splashing with friends in turquoisey weirdly lit water after nightfall.
I cooked something I've never made before (veggie lasagna), combining recipes and inventing along the way, and it totally worked. I love it when that happens.
Nathan and I picked out a school backpack for kindergarten (and beyond!) and he is adorably excited. (Maybe me too. Maybe.)
In other cooking news, I also tried a new cookie recipe (with browned butter! and pretzels! and sea salt!) and it was a complete and utter failure but NO MATTER because there was lots of laughing. So I will take it.
I took the kids grocery shopping, at dinner time, and no one had a breakdown. In fact, they were giggly and fun the whole time. (I KNOW.)
Also, I managed without Charlotte's bucket seat, so yay progress.
I had a night out on the town with my two best people. Mark and Another Nathan and I had the last-minute idea to go downtown and see Avenue Q which was exactly as irreverent and funny as we had hoped. And then we had Krispy Kreme afterwards.
And even though I'm their bad-idea bear, wanting to go out when they both had early work days on Sunday, we had so much fun and we all totally needed it.
A weekend full of the happy faces of the people I love most? Cut to me going to bed completely and uncomplicatedly happy.

Wonderful!!!
And I take your experimenting with new recipes and inventing recipes as a sign of happy normalcy.
Hooray for happy weekends! Love that for you.
