a thursday

I hear Ross play the guitar. I smell freshly baked bread. I see a messy living room full of first grade projects. I feel peeling shoulders. Just another Thursday night.

Ross only worked half day today, so we got to spend the afternoon together. Love those days! I am going to be so sad when school starts and I actually have a full-time work schedule to abide by. Summer has been good to us.

5 little highlights:
1. Nachos for dinner! What do you do when you have all of the ingredients for tacos except lettuce? Naturally, make yourself some gooey nachos. And dance around the kitchen singing "Nacho, Nacho maaaan!"
2. Freshly baked bread--team effort. I judge every restaurant by their chips, bread, and fries, so today was almost a grand slam {unhealthy} dinner. Minus the fries. And maybe the bread which burned.
3. Aforementioned burnt bread turned into riding our bikes to the duck pond to feed the ducks. They would not eat a crumb!
BUT after a squabble between daddy duck and a young one, they all loosened up and couldn't get enough of our hard wheat bread. Ducks are fascinating...more on that later.
4. Surprise flowers from Ross. Love that guy.
5. Chuck

Ross' little things:
1. Coming home early to my wife.
2. Chocolate malts.
3. Bike ride with my girl.
(I made him answer these on the spot. Hence the quick answers.)
