A full day of Mommy

Matt was in Stockton all day today at a basketball jamboree so Diana and I had the full day together. It was so nice because we haven't had time like this together since I started working at Copart. When I was a sports writer and had Tuesdays and Thursdays off, we would make a full day of our time together doing different activities and having a great time. Our Saturday started with an hour and a half of painting in the backyard. Gramma V got Diana an easel for Christmas and while she's put the thing to plenty of use indoors, we haven't taken it outside and used the tempura paints that came with it. That changed today.

Diana ended up painting 10 pictures for us. I have to find somewhere to hang them up. They are awesome. I love them!
We came inside and played Candy Land, we colored and then made grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch. Diana helped me put the butter on the bread and rinsed her blueberries. We had lunch, played a little more and then she took a nap.
Gramma V came over and we all went swimming together. We were out there for an hour, it was great fun. It was a little breezy out which made it really perfect weather. by the time we got back home, it was dinner time. We made tortellini (Diana's fave), strawberries and garlic bread. We played a little more and then went to bed about an hour later.
It was such a fun day. I think we will rest a little tomorrow though. Unless I can come up with some more activities to do! :)

P.S. Diana helped Daddy water the flowers in the backyard on Friday night. She was very good! Here's the proof!
