We had a really nice evening. For that matter, it was also a pretty nice day as well. The boys got off to school with minimal headache and that’s always a fantastic way to start the day. 😀

Not too long after the boys got off to school, I drove Lizze to the Cleveland Clinic for a doctor’s appointment. The drive sucked because my back still isn’t doing so well. Sitting or standing for any period of time is extremely painful. Laying down flat or pacing around the house is the only pain free positions I have at the moment.

Lizze’s appointment went well and I decided to take her to lunch on the way home. It was actually more of a late lunch/early dinner but it was nice. ☺

We picked the kids up from their grandparent’s on the way home. They were kind enough to watch them while we were away and we truly appreciate that.

I wanted to have a nice, quiet evening and decided a movie night would be in order. We watched the new Disney movie Coco and it was amazing. Gavin didn’t want anything to do with watching it because he’s really weird about what movies he’ll watch. Besides, I think he had a mission to go on and was looking for an excuse to be on his way.

It would have been nice for everyone to watch but it is what it is. The rest of us enjoyed ourselves and I suppose thats what matters.

I love days like this. They aren’t perfect but they are pleasant, with a generous amount of positive memory making. Lizze and I have learned to take advantage of the time we have, both together and as a family.
