All because two people fell in love...: Oh Sunny Day....

Today started out very hectic. It was my first day back after a mini hiatus. The kids did not want to go to Aunt Lizzy's today. Poor Ethan woke up groggily and told me "I WILL NOT go to Lizzy's!" Lol. He was very stern on that point. I then had to ask him if he thought he could make his own breakfast and his noodle for lunch or if he was going to potty train in 2 minutes so he didn't have to change his own diaper, he looked at me with his pouty lips and said "I'm going to work with you!" Haha! After our struggle it ended up being Kalea who didn't want to stay there after we got there! She cried as I was walking out the door and it took everything in me not to pick up my phone and call someone to tell them I was gonna stay at home and take care of my kids! Darned those things called bills! As the morning went on it was a beautiful day. A nice break to what we have had lately! Then all of a sudden 10:30 hit and *BAM* just like that it was a non stop rush of people until 1:30 hit. Our town is hosting their yearly Relay For Life this weekend and by gawly, I didn't even think about it. 3:00 hit and I was out of that door and ready to enjoy my kiddos and husband with a day in the sun. We went home and decided, heck, let's go to the lake! It has a nice little park the kids can play in, a lot of grass, and water!! Well we got there and to my surprise there wasn't anyone really there but a couple families! It was nice and quiet! The kids got excited right when they saw the playground and were running for the slide until all of a sudden miss Kalea saw the water! She bee lined it for the road to lead to the lake and thankfully we are a little faster or she would have had some big boo boos! We decided to go to the lake part first but because it was still a little on the cold side and the water was in the shade by the time we got there we just played in the water with our feet which seemed to satisfy everyone except Victor who hates cold water! Haha! He planted himself on a bench unti we decided to walk around the dock!! Before that though, wouldn't ya know, there was a scary lookin fish right be my feet! Ahh!! haha! Of course I moved and it swam away! We were walking around the dock and sure enough Ethan found 5 more of those darned fish just sitting by the side of the concrete wall that makes the lake!! I'm going to make it my mission tonight to find out what type of fish that is by the way! Lol!! After our little water mission we ended up at the park again where the kids played some more!! Reluctantly we pulled the kids away from the toys as dusk hit and headed for home. On our way we decided for a treat to instead of dinner at home we got DQ and ice cream for desert!! Yum yum of course! We got home, sat down, I got on the computer to take care of a few things, turn around, and sure enough everyone was asleep! Kalea on the floor wrapped in a blankie below the TV, Ethan went to his room, and Victor with his arms crossed sitting straight up on the couch! It was a nice and peaceful hour and a half. The kids are in bed again... Asleep, no! I wish! We are still fighting with them to lay down and let their minds wander to their dreams so Mommy and Daddy can have some quiet time! As I'm writing this Kalea has climbed out of her crib again and wandered out here with her "My First Bible" and said "Mommy read!" So I take it that is my que to lay her down in my arms and read where we left off the last time ((If she hasn't lost our place again of course)) Here are a few pictures to enjoy of our beautiful day!! Goodnight all!
