We started the day early - well - early for me for the summer!! I had to deliver some shirts to a teacher at school and then we headed to the donut shop. We'll have one chocolate covered donut, one chocolate with sprinkles, a dozen donut holes, a white milk and a chocolate milk please and thank you!! Then we headed to the park in Quitman. Yes - I did have a reason for driving to Quitman, but you will not find out why today!! The kids played for a couple of hours and they had a great time but they were filthy from head to toe!!
NO Fear!!
Then we headed back to Mt. Vernon and met Grandad and Uncle Austin there for lunch. I think their favorite part is catching you off guard and hitting you with the straw paper.
Yum - dessert!!
We then went home to play some more (rest for Granna). Chandler and Rainey pulled out every toy car they own at my house and that is a lot!!! They played and fussed and played some more. They heard Austin on the mower so he got some unsolicited help with the yard work.
And there is always time to play with Olson. He makes sure of that!!
Rainey is like Linus in that she must have her blanket!! She drags it everywhere - especially when she is tired. When she came in from riding the lawn mower with Austin, she asked for her blanket. When she and Chandler were playing I thought I would throw it in the washing machine. I told her it was in the washing machine and that it was going to be clean and would smell good. She went to the laundry room and just put her head on the washing machine!! I couldn't help but laugh - but she was devastated!!
We have been completely out of milk for a couple of days and these kids drink milk so we ran to the grocery for a few items. Not really a fun trip when Rainey hasn't had a nap but she wasn't too bad. I had put the clothes - including Rainey's blanket in the dryer before we left. As soon as we got back from the store she went straight to the dryer and got her blanket. :)
They wanted to swim but Austin needed to clean the pool first. While Austin was doing that I thought I would prepare dinner and it could be cooking while we played in the pool, however dinner was done about the same time Austin finished with the pool so we ate first. Then I let the kids swim for about an hour and then we hit the shower and put Rainey to bed. Chandler is still up watching the Disney channel and I am about to hit the sack myself!! Another fun day at camp!!
