Today we gained an hour. I should be thankful for it. More time in the daylight. Except that today felt like it was never ending. LOL I was fortunate enough to go to a Lebanese Festival with a great friend, and the kids loved it! And they were so well behaved! I loved watching Ellie do her version of the folk dancing. She actually threw a mini fit because she wanted to get down there and dance with them! It was really cute to watch. The festival was nice. There was dancing, as I mentioned before, and a singer. They had typical Lebanese food and a small bazaar set up. They even went so far as to set up play areas for the kids, which, of course, my three kiddos in tow loved! Afterwards we went out for dinner at a restaurant that has a play field (think small soccer field), and a couple play houses to keep the kids entertained. Today was all about the kids, or so they thought. It was great being able to just visit with another adult.

Today was a beautiful day. I loved it, even if it did feel like it took forever to get through. Maybe it had something to do with actually getting the motivation to write in this blog and clearing my brain that made today seem to go so smoothly. Maybe it had to do with watching three amazing kids play together, not a care in the world. Maybe I found my center this morning. Who knows? Well, He does. And whatever His reason, I'm glad it happened. I needed a day like today.
