Ding Dong

I heard the ding dong of the doorbell around 7:45 yesterday morning.  Who in the world would be ringing my doorbell at 7:45?  I knew it couldn't be the UPS man, I wasn't expecting anyone, my dad was at work and my mom was working out - I was perplexed.  Well, what do you know - it was my sweet husband.  He "left" for work as normal, and then a few minutes later came back to surprise us that he took the day off and we were going to the zoo!  It was the most gorgeous day of the year yesterday, so I guess the zoo bug bit him.  It was a very nice and relaxing day (even despite the fact that it was Fort Worth ISD field trip day).  And we got to test out our new bike trailer as a stroller - worked like a charm.  We even ended up running into an old college friend and a friend from Ethan's class at preschool.  Came back home to a clean house - thanks to hosting Bible study here Thursday night - put the kids to bed early because they missed their afternoon naps, and relaxed all night.  I live for those days.
