Whit, armed and dangerous with his mask and broom-slash-weapon, riding a tractor. He is so funny these days. The weekend was positively wonderful.
Saturday morning Elizabeth and I took the four children to breakfast at Hi Rise and then played at the park for 3 1/2 hours. They ran, climbed, dug, yelled, chased, and swung for a good long time and at 11 had a pickup soccer game. Elizabeth and I got to sit, spectate, and catch up, only dealing with the occasional skirmish and need to pee in the bushes (theirs, not ours! for that my bathroom was a mere 3 blocks away. talk to me about the sex offender situation with outside peeing sometime). We had Armando’s pizza for lunch, still at the park. The children were grubby and exhausted and Whit fell asleep in my bed at 1:30 for a nice two hour nap. He is so dear right now.
Saturday night was dinner at the Lavallees with the kids. Kendall was in town and I had such a nice time seeing her. Home and in bed early again. Sunday morning was the cherry on the cake of the weekend – Grace, Whit, and I went on the T into Boston to see Wall-E. The movie was wonderful and we went with dear friends. We T’ed home, stopped for hamburgers in Harvard Square, and took nice naps all around in the afternoon. It was as sublime a Sunday morning as I can recall. Honestly.
Then Sunday afternoon I ran in the downpour (just my luck to head out as the skies open). I love summer rain and it was a fantastic run. Excellent weekend with the children all around.
