If there was a complete opposite to last weekend's rain and cooler-than-normal temperatures, this weekend was it: warm sun, blue skies, low humidity, and a light breeze. I enjoyed all of my walks and soaked up as much vitamin D as I could.
My day off on Friday was mostly enjoyable (the only thing I didn't like about it was a bit of acid reflux that interfered with my run in the morning). Our girls' shopping trip was fun and successful. Molly's friend insisted that we go into Ross, where I'd never shopped before, and I found a really cute Tommy Hilfiger sleeveless dress that fit me like a glove and cost me $19.99 -- and I wore it to dinner that night!

I picked up a few other little things (a couple of toys for Ruthie that she'll tear apart in half an hour, a few sewing supplies for a little project I had planned), and the girls tried on a bunch of clothes and bought a few items. And then the three of us had a nice dinner out. Saturday was nice and quiet. Molly worked, I walked and then read and knit while Ruthie napped, and then we had a simple dinner at home. After dinner, Molly drove us to a nearby ice cream place. That was my first time in the car with her driving and also the first time sitting in the back seat of my own car, I think! Yesterday was another low-key day for me, though I baked some cookies in the afternoon and then we had my in-laws over for dinner.
Today I think will finally feel like summer to Molly, and I'm looking forward to not having to rush to pick her up at 3 o'clock. I'm sure there'll be work waiting for me when I log in to my email, but somehow having one less thing to do every day makes me feel more relaxed. And I'm having fun working on baby pants, which may very well get finished this week:
I've finished the entire body/bum section, including grafting the crotch, and am cruising down the first leg. I'm already thinking of how to improve upon this first pair and need to find some more babies to knit for because I can see how knitting one pair of these quickly leads to knitting more.
Other than the usual work schedule, there's nothing planned for this week. The Mister has work dinners three evenings this week, so there will be a lot of girls' nights, and the weather forecast is beautiful all week, so I'll be spending lots of time outside and enjoying it. Did you know that June 1 is the first day of meteorological summer? Feels to me like a good way to start the week!
