We had a really fun St. Patrick's Day!
We all wore green, and we went to Rifle for the day where we hung out at the McDonald's Play Place and Super Kidz where lots of friends swung by to see us. We didn't know it beforehand, but all the kids got in to Super Kidz free because they were wearing green. Then we went to Grand Junction where we went swimming and made dinner at the hotel, and then all the kids slept really well.
It was a really fun day.
We just spent the day in Grand Junction and Howard just said,
“we’re just not used to traffic lights.”
We've really created some small town kids.
We had a "Yes Day" on Thursday, which was a day that Mama and Daddy do not spend money... but Mama cannot say "no".
It kicked my tail.
Basically it was a day that the kids got to do things at home (or around home) that I usually say "no" to, but this day that got to do those things. And I set the things up or cleaned up after... which is why I usually say no.
By the end of the day I was completely wiped.
We went swimming at the rec center, had tomato soup and grilled cheese for lunch, Caroline took a long relaxing bath, Tracey baked fruit tarts, some kids made a fort in the family room, some kids made slime, a few kids could not resist the siren call of their ipads, so a few kids spent some time on their ipads. Some played games, sent messages to family members on my phone, face-timed family.
It was a really fun day, but it was exhausting.
His favorite thing in the world seems to be Lexie. Lexie is not thrilled to be so well thought of.
What is most comical to me is that Brady really doesn't seem to like Lloyd very much -- this might be relate to Lloyd snacking a snack or two when Brady's not paying attention, but Brady absolutely adores Lexie, and gets very excited any time he see any other cat as well.
Tracey and Howard had a pretend wedding earlier this week. I'm pretty sure it was inspired by a new dress-up dress that we added to our collection.
It was fun to watch Tracey do Caroline's make-up for her own wedding, and watch Tracey walk down the isle with her sisters.
Also, Howard asked Daddy to be his best man, and Hunter cracked under pressure being the ring bearer, but Brady turned out to be an excellent little back-up. He sat in his seat until Tracey asked him to pass Howard the ring, and Brady did exactly that.
