Lunch date...on the Stoop

We have a perfect little stoop outside on our front patio.  Often when it rains, I take Isaac out there to sit, watch and enjoy the view.  Twice now, we've had a dinner/lunch date out there. 

Today was one of those unplanned days, where you have nothing to do (ok, really, when do you have nothing to do with a 19 month old, laundry needed to be put away, dishes washed and the bathrooms cleaned, but really that's all over rated when you can slow down and have a lunch date instead!) 

Let me re-phrase that, I had nothing planned for our day.  After a workout with a friend, I and I hit up the grocery store for a few things.  I wanted a salad and thought it would be perfect for Isaac too.  

It wasn't until I was bringing the groceries in the house (looking at the counter with piled up dishes) that I decided we should have a lunch date outside on the stoop.  I asked I if he wanted to join me, he gratefully said "yest" and out we went. 

The View really was perfect, I mean, maybe not that cars in the parking lot, but that little boy, priceless!! 

Isaac shared my salad, eating most of the pasta, tomatoes and broccoli. He's such a great eater, I'm so thankful for that!

Then we had a mini photo shoot, cause that's what you do after lunch on the stoop, right?!

Side note: I realize his hat says Bills (his Daddy's favorite team) and I'm surprisingly ok with that, mainly because I also know I'll be ordering PATS gear soon...GO PATS!

After lunch, Isaac went over to visit the little scarecrow that lives next door.  You can't just go and visit, you must also give hugs while you're there.  And if hugs are enough, maybe the scarecrow is hungry and wants some bread too!

And so they share bread.  This little boy can have such a precious and sweet heart when he wants to, on his terms, when he's not being told what to do.  I love him for that. I love his nature, his desire to love others and his sweet sweet soul.  I'm so blessed to be home with him everyday, even on the hard days.  Lunch on the stoop always makes things better!

Love you baby bunting, and don't ever forget it. Until our next date...xo

Friends

Isaac has found himself a friend. He LOVES spending time with Evie and so do I, well not just Evie (although I must say, she gives the BEST hugs) but her Mama too, Miss. Natalie.  We've been hanging out the last few weeks and enjoy having each other to chat with, workout with and for playdates too.  These two just love each other...
