Thursday Update!

Yesterday was yet another super busy day here in FamilyOf5Land.

The Prince had pre-school again and, my oh my, was he ready to go! He was dressed (shoes, coat, and all) by 8:30. He was a little disappointed that we didn't leave until 9:10!

After dropping off the Prince, the Knight and I headed back to the grocery store. Tuesday's run was so big we didn't have room for fruit. My kids love fruit! Plus I wanted to get all of the ingredients to make this recipe. It was really really good!

We picked the Prince up around 2:00, and I put both boys down for naps. The Knight was exhausted. The Prince protested a little but finally conceded and napped for me.

Princess got home at 3:00 and we had to go straight to homework. She has a pretty challenging spelling list this week. Since she didn't have school on Monday, it came down to last night to get everything done. She read all 3 of her reading homework books to me in 1/2 hour. When she read them to me the first time on Monday, it took an hour, so she has definitely improved!

Princess had basketball last night. I was going to take her but DadOf3 came home in time. I let Princess choose, and she chose her daddy because we had already had some time together doing homework. I really wanted to go with her, but I love the fact that she and her daddy love to spend time together!

Princess and DadOf3 got home around 6:10, and I had supper all ready! I had to head out right away after she got home because I had a MOPS meeting last night.

Because the church where we meet is under construction, we have been meeting at people's houses. It literally took me 43 minutes to drive from my house to the meeting house. The meeting went until 10:30. I didn't get home until a quarter after 11:00. LONG night. I was going to leave at 9:30. My resolve failed and I stayed. Plus it was good to reconnect with these MOPS ladies. We cannot meet at the church because it is being reconstructed and there is no water at this point in time. Yikes!

I am really dragging this morning. (Coffee is good!) I am pretty happy to be meeting with my friend MomOf2Boys and her 4 year old at the park this morning with my boys. I still have lots to do at home but the boys need some fun time. I will race to get lots of cleaning done while they are sleeping.

More later!

Fun Filled Thursday!

I took a hint from DadOf3 and didn't let the rain stop us from getting outside this morning! Since the kiddos were all still in their jammies at 10:00 when the rain really cut loose (yes, it was that kind of a morning...), I let the kids run out and play in the rain. It was raining cats and dogs but no thunder and lightning.

The kids laughed so hard!

Fun times here in FamilyOf5Land!

Thursday, Rainy Thursday

It is yet another rainy day here in FamilyOf5Land.

I have had about enough of this weather! It is June for goodness sake! We are supposed to be able to get the water slide out and play outside during weekday mornings.

Yesterday was rainy too but that was OK because we all went to church for my Bible study. The kids had a fun time and came home with some neat crafts - puppets made from brown paper sacks. The Bible study was fun too. I am in a good group and there has been some good discussions. It sounded like I missed a good discussion last week too.

I am working on a pedometer recorn for today! I have already walked 11,459 steps. My goal is to get to 25000 today. :) We shall see if that goal is met.

The Knight has been racing up and down the stairs this morning. As you may have ready, I am trying to get our house to be gate free. Easier said than done. The kids are bored and I am irritated. I had planned to take the kids to the mall to the Inflatible Playground but DadOf3 talked me out of it. We are going out tonight to celebrate his birthday. We don't want the kiddos too worn out to stay up a little later.

DadOf3's birthday is not actually until tomorrow but it is easier to go out with the family on Thursdays. The kids and I have some presents for him. I hope he likes them! (I am mean though and I am not going to give them to him until tomorrow!)
