today was a very quiet saturday. i am enjoying the procrastination (in a guilty sort of way) of not having yet started working on my comps. it will be over on monday. anyway, it was an amazingly beautiful day for october. fall is my favorite time of year, and days like these are exactly why. the nights are cool and perfect for sleeping, and the days are warm and sunny. this week at least. overall erik and i had a good day today. i decided to keep it as low key for him as possible since he hasn't been feeling well and has been terribly ornery all week. we did some grocery shopping this morning and i even got the shopping cart that looks like a car because he enjoys it (even though i spent the entire time bumping into people or running over their toes since i can't steer the stupid thing). nonetheless he had fun turning the little steering wheel and making quiet vvrrrooom vvrrooooms around the store. after his nap we went out to schenley park to check out the "obama-thon" ... only kidding. i just wanted to take erik somewhere he could run around and play without worrying about him running into the street. we took a nice walk and ended up at probably the nicest and largest playground in the park and he had lots of fun running amok.
and we went through a little tunnel ...
with a gnome in it.
i made meatloaf, green beans, and baked potatoes for dinner, which all three of us enjoyed when peter got home from work. after the dishes were all cleaned up, we took advantage of the beautiful warm evening and went to the rita's in oakland, perhaps our last visit there this year. erik really loved his dessert ... he shared my peach ice and peter's twist custard. yummy! not a bad day at all. maybe tomorrow we will go to the pumpkin patch!
