We had a very nice and active Saturday around here today.
This morning we were all up bright and early and then headed to Costco. Fun times, huh? We found some things that we needed and some things that we didn't need but bought anyway. The kids were pretty good. While there, we purchased a pizza for lunch. After lunch was happy nappy time for the entire family! This MomOf3 was happy for that! I am looking forward to summer vacation when I can sneak a nap in during the week with the kiddos. I will not make the Princess nap every day. Nap time is going to be our special time together for reading and coloring and writing letters. I don't want her to forget what she has learned in Kindergarten! After naps, DadOf3 decided to mow the lawn. All of the kids love tractor rides so he took the Prince with him while he mowed the front yard and he took the Princess while he mowed the back yard. The Knight missed out this time but he will get a turn another time.
After supper, we headed right back outside. It was another gorgeous day here, 79 and kind of sunny. While DadOf3 trimmed the yard, the kiddos and I played lots of stuff. The thing I played the most was "Chase the Knight" but the big kids were able to play with the little tractor, jump rope, play with the soccer ball, ride trikes, ride scooters and get lots of energy used up. We moved into the back yard after a while because DadOf3 wanted to stain some more boards for the new deck. I took some more progress shots of the deck. It is turing out SO nicely! It will be nice to have this summer. While we were keeping DadOf3 company in the backyard, we
all played on the play set, the tire swing, and the teeter totter. It is like our own park back there! The kids had fun. Around 7:30, I herded everyone in for baths. (I always laugh at the phrase "it was just like herding cats". That is kind of how it is while trying to get my three inside after playing in the back yard. They do not want to go. The love it out there!) The Princess and the Prince agreed on a movie to watch (Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus) so I bathed the Knight first. The Prince was next and the Princess was third. Sometimes I bathe them all together but I was not up for the challege tonight. It takes longer this way, but it saves my sanity! When the Princess was done, I took the Knight upstairs while the Prince and the Princess watched a little bit of the movie. I put them up about 10 minutes ago - they are trying to have a sleepover tonight. I am not sure how it is going to go but we will hope for the best. They tried to have a sleepover last night but the Princess was just too tired. The Prince just kept ticking her
off so she went to her own room. This broke the Prince's heart. I think they have a better shot tonight because the Princess has more patience. Well, enjoy the pictures. I have been a little snap happy lately but it is all for a good cause: populating this blog with some good pictures for the relatives! The kids had a very fun day today with nary a television show in sight (ok except for Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus, but that was so I could give them baths.) Tomorrow is church and hopefully some more progress on the deck and more time to play outside. More tomorrow! Good night!
