A Friday at City Park

The boys always have the day after Halloween off of school on account of parent-teacher conferences. They're both doing really well this year, so Kenny and I decided we didn't need to go in and talk with any of their teachers. Kenny went off to work as usual, and the boys and I took a field trip to City Park. It was a beautiful Friday!

We snagged an outside table at Cafe du Monde, and they ran off to play while I ordered beignets, milk, and coffee. They paused long enough to grab a few bites when the food came out, and then they were off again. Meanwhile, I enjoyed my coffee and watched them from afar. They don't get along ALL the time, but for the most part they genuinely seem to enjoy being together. I am so grateful for that.

We finished up and moved over to a bench by the playground. Both boys had been busy collecting sticks and Spanish moss, which they stashed in a secret hiding place, saying they hoped it would be there the next time we came.

After a bunch of silliness on the slides, they pulled out the four monster trucks we had brought with us and created a game. They even made a new friend and made sure to share and include him. They were really very sweet with him, which was lovely to watch.

Such a fun morning with my boys!
