Busy good day!

Wow! What a day! Normally I limit myself to one big activity a day but today I surpassed this by a mile. We got groceries today which is always a crapshoot. Today the Prince was a doll though and I didn't even have to bribe him! I did promise to take him to the park when we got home if he was good but I didn't actually buy him something. I don't like it when I do that anyway. So we left the house at 8:00 AM and we were home by 9:15. The boys watched Dora the Explorer (at the Prince's request, go figure!) while I brought in the groceries. MomOf2Boys had called while we were gone. We were going to meet her at the park but she suggested that we come over to her house instead because it had rained so much yesterday. I am glad she made the suggestion because even her lawn was a little wet. MomOf2Boys youngest was home. Her oldest is in Kindergarten so he was at school. The Prince and his friend, also 3 1/2, had a great time riding trikes. The Knight spent most of the time playing with a toy school bus and shouting for his brother to come back from riding trikes. MomOf2Boys and I had a nice chat and the boys had about 1 1/2 hours of fresh air and exercise. We headed home for lunch and naps. After the Princess arrived home from school, we received an invitation to go to ANOTHER neighbor's house to play. I brought the camera but didn't take any pictures. This neighbor is a stay-at-home-dad (SAHD) of a 5 year old boy and a 3 year old girl. Fun kids and my boys worship the 5 year old. They have a great backyard setup with a play scape, a teeter totter and lots of pea gravel. The kids had a blast. Their mommy (and my friend) came home around 5:00 so we walked the kids over to our house to continue the play date. My friend is a school Principal and quite fun to talk with. DadOf3 came home around 6:00 so we broke up the party and retired to our house to make supper and get baths. I gave the Princess hers and he gave the Prince and the Knight theirs. This may not sound fair but it is. The Princess is pretty particular. We have had a great day and I am close to getting 20,000 steps on my pedometer. I will let you know if I make it tomorrow. At 7:45, I have 18,332!
