I'm sitting here, my babe is playing with a toy boat, my blonde boy is racing his trains all around the train track, and my oldest boy is absolutely engrossed in Strawberry Shortcake. And, it's quiet! Absolutely a miracle! So we've been busy this past week! We went down to the city last Tuesday, went straight over to our friends house so we could pick up Dan's father's day/wedding anniversary gift. So exciting, except, it didn't work. I bought him a Nikon D50000 camera. I had Kayla go pick it up for me, mostly because she's awesome like that. Anyway she went and did all my shopping and nicely wrapped it up and then BAM, the thing doesn't work. So, off to the expensive Camera store we go on Wednesday, Kayla, myself, and FIVE kids under FIVE. Yep. They were amazingly well behaved!! Anyway, we went into the camera store and told them our deal. They were incredibly accomodating, gave us the demo model body. It turns out it was the camera body, not the lens so we were able to keep out lens. Anyway got the camera all switched out, were told it could be quite a while before a new body was back in, as there's a WORLD WIDE backorder on these things! Anyway, got that all sorted out and went back to Chez Kayla. I cannot believe how well the kids all behaved!! It was awesome!
On Thursday we went down to visit my mom, with a stop on the way to see Dan's grandma. We hadn't seen her since Grandpa Brick's funeral. She's doing very well! Was super happy to see us, of course! Loved on her great grandbabies like nobody's business!! Then we carried on a little further south to go see my mom and surprise my grandma who was there visiting! We were there for quite a while and all three kids had a blast! Nolan was a little more grumpy than normal, understandable since he didn't get a real nap that day!
Friday we went to the cabin! We stayed until Tuesday morning. It was awesome! So relaxing and quiet! The kids all had a blast!! I'm glad we went!!
Now, we're back home and getting back into the daily grind. I'm thinking I'm going to take the kiddos to the splash park today! I'm sure they'll have a blast!
Sorry for the boring as ever post!!
