today was a pretty good day. the highlight of the day was meeting up with josh for lunch at the flying pan. at the end of our lunch, we ordered a peanut butter milkshake for all of us to share. i think this was the very best milkshake i have ever had. it is possible that i feel this way b/c i haven't had a milkshake in many months, but either way, it was suuuuuuuuuuuuper good!
other than our meetup with josh, our day was pretty chill. before we met up, the kids and i headed to southorn playground to get some energies out before lunch. my kids were the only kids there for about 20 minutes. all of the benches were occupied by seniors or young women (there were approximately 10 adults in the playground). one senior and one young woman (not together) took an interest in the kids. both adults tried to persuade quinn to get up off the ground (telling him how dirty it was). the senior gentleman also went up to livie to tell her how good she was doing on the monkey bars. i am still not sure how i feel about interactions like this. i cannot put myself in the same place...i cannot imagine spending my time sitting in a playground watching kids if i was not with my own kids, and i cannot imagine walking up to someone else's kid to interact with them unsolicited (unless there was a safety issue). i am still waiting to get used to this "fishbowl" experience.

random photo from dinner preparations. reheating leftovers is a big, fat hairy deal when you have only 3 burners, 3 pans, and no microwave. we had a strange collection of leftovers tonight, so it took all three burners/pans AND our mini oven to get it all reheated.
