wednesday & thursday

Yesterday we went to DixieLand Fun Park. I knew this was close to our house but I didn't realize how close until I went on this Mom's Club suggested activity. It was crazy hot but we were able to enjoy ourselves none-the-less. We did a couple outside rides and then went inside to play on the toys in the air-conditioned room but after our brown bag lunch of PB & honey sandwiches & raisins & crackers we had a new wind and Lauren wanted to try out some of the other rides. She really enjoyed them but Tyler was a bit too scared to go on them. We'll go back very soon, however, and let Lauren go on as many rides as she wants.






Later that evening we had a massive thunderstorm. While the thunder was rumbling, I noticed Tyler kept peeking out the window.


Shortly after we got some serious rain.


Shortly after that the power went out for about an hour or so. Tyler did okay but Lauren was a bit freaked out. We brought down many many candles and tried to have as much fun as possible during the outage. Even Miss Dana came over to enjoy the excitement since her kids were at Grammy's house for the week. Matt stayed late at work so as not to drive through the torrential downpour but he got home in time to put the kids to bed.

And today was a typical Thursday. I volunteered at church and both kiddos played in the adjacent room while I helped out with the Sunday school preparation. After being overly busy for the most part of this week, the kids and I were all exhausted, We all took a nap this afternoon. Mine only lasted 1 hr. while the kids napped 3 hrs. plus. I'm so jealous.

This evening we had homemade pizza with ricotta, sauteed asparagus, green onions & sun-dried tomatoes.

After dinner I started a deep clean of the house while Daddy and the kids played outside. The kiddos enjoyed a lemonade pop and had fun cruising around in the wagon.


Hope everyone had a wonderful day and love to all.
