Park Day

Our homeschool co-op had a play date this morning at a local park. The park is within walking distance of our house and we go there often. But it so much more fun when the sprayground is filled with your friends! Someone had brought a super soaker and my boys were begging to go home and get their guns too. I was definitely NOT going to walk three blocks home and back so I stepped out of my comfort zone and let Adam and Ryan go home and get their guns BY THEMSELVES!! They were back in under ten minutes, loaded down with super soakers to share. I guess they were beaming b/c they got what they wanted but maybe it was a little bit of pride that they got to go by themselves.

The library is across the street from the water park. They were hosting Legos at the Library in the afternoon so I traded my two older boys for a sleeping baby and sweet little angel boy (his mom sure can tell some tales on him though!;)). The babies took naps. Evan played with his friend. The big boys learned Lego engineering at the library. And I made bread, spaghetti sauce, and salsa. Such a productive day, and it's barely half over!
