Perfect Sunday

Today I let myself have the ever so rare lazy day! We didn't even go to church, which was bad of us, but it was so nice to just be home with the family today. When we woke up I decided to make a yummy homemade breakfast for everyone (it's been a while since I did that). I made french toast with fried bananas and banana whipped cream, and bacon. Maddie even got in on the action with some egg yolk-only french toast. She was "bananas" for it! For the first time ever she didn't cry when she was done eating and we had to clean her. And almost immediately afterward she took a 2 hour nap...in her bed! Glory be. I may feed her french toast every day.
After that we took our new dog, Dixie, to Petsmart for a collar & other dog supplies. She is a 3 year old yellow golden retriever, and I'm officially in love with her. She's exactly what I was wanting.
The best part of our day, though, came when we played in the sprinkler outside as a spur-of-the-moment thing. I put the girls in their swimsuits and out we went. We tried playing in the sprinkler with Maddie in June and she hated it, but this time she absolutely loved it. Dixie came outside to play and she loved it too. She went wild playing in it, trying to bite the water. So funny.
Then I made a delish chicken cacciatore from The Throwdown Cookbook. It was amazing. In a few weeks, I am going to start working every other Sunday, and I'm pretty bummed about missing those days with my family. It's what we needed to do after some number crunching though.
