Great Saturday

I often vent when the kids act up or behave badly, which has been pretty frequently lately.  So I owe it to them to give equal time to the other side of the coin.  Today we started off with a low key breakfast lounging around the house because Mommy and Daddy both felt like Will Ferrell during a particular scene in Old School.  But both little ones were perfectly fine with our slow start.  We made it to the Greek Food Festival right when it opened at 11.  AJ didn't quite remember what it was all about but he was still excited to go.  The temps quickly reached the high 80s but through lunch and picking up some goodies to go, we didn't hear a single negative peep out of either one.  Next stop, Target, to pick some stuff we needed.  Again, stellar behavior from start to finish.  Then we popped in at Beth's mom's new house, and again they were little angels.  There were plenty of things around that AJ could have gotten into, but he didn't.  And the girl continued to just smile and coo like a perfect baby out of a movie.  If their behavior was a baseball pitching performance, it was something like this one*.  Top notch, and good times for all.

* (And if you actually checked the link, to complete the analogy, the solo homer would be AJ's last minute bail out on going into the bouncy castle deal.  Can't really fault him, because the last girl out before him was screaming her head off and that clearly spooked him.)
