Tuesday

Today has been a pretty busy, but slow day. Is that even possible?! The kids had a dentist appt in the afternoon but guess what Hannah said to me first thing this morning. "Don't forget about our dentist appt." Then about every half hour or so after that they were asking me if it was time to go! Not a good way to start the day! I was sucessful at getting the laundry all caught up. I even got it all foled and put away at some point today. I also cleaned the bathrooms. The dentist appt went well. Ryan has "perfect" teeth, while Hannah has "beautiful" teeth. Ryan has great spacing, perfect bite and no cavities. Hannah does not have great spacing but her bottom front teeth are still coming in straight. She also has zero cavities but a bad bite which will probably require braces later in life. Overall, a great visit. Afterwards I had to go to walmart to get groceries. That fell right during naptime. I already knew it would be a bad trip before we got there. None of us were in the mood to shop for groceries. Ryan cried the last half hour because I wouldn't let him out of the buggy, he didn't want to sit, you name it, he cried about it! Fortunately he fell asleep on the way home and saved himself from a nap after getting home. Altho, I read you should never let a 15 min nap in the car substitute a naap at home....oh well. While we were checking out at walmart we started hearing thunder and rain pounding the roof. We ended up standing in the doorway for about 10 min waiting for the rain to let up. The lights went off for a few seconds after one lightning bolt. And Hannah started crying after one LOUD clap of thunder. We ended up running to the truck and only getting slightly wet! After supper and showers, the kids are ready for an early bedtime since they have been grouchy about all evening. I feel like I need to get in bed early too! Brad is still at work....

Camping Chaos

Oh the joys of camping! We had a great time this weekend camping with Tim, Steph and their kids, their cousins, Jake and Josh, and Terri and Rodney Cossin. We got there around 2 on Friday. The first thing Brad did was break the jack that you put down to get the camper off the truck! So we had to run back out to walmart to get a tool to fix it but he ended up just having to take the whole thing off! We didn't do much on Friday, just get camp set up and hang out. The kids played in the creek some and rode bikes. There are pics on facebook of the weekend. On Sat we woke up to rain and thunder. Luckily we had two canopies set up between the three camp sites we had so we made breakfast and hung out under there until the rain quit around 11 or so. The sun came out and it turned into a beautiful day! We went down to the pool and stayed until 5! They had 2 diving boards and a water slide and a kiddie area, which we didn't even get in. Hannah was so surprising us all! She had so much fun jumping off the diving board and going down the water slide on her belly! I got it all on video. We all had a lot of fun. By the time we got back to the camp sites to start supper, it started raining again! The kids had just as much fun playing in the rain while we cooked and then we hung out under the canopies again! Tim and family had to leave but the 2 campers stayed another night. This morning (Sunday) Brad and I woke up and laid in bed for a long time before the kids finally got up. It was almost 9. We started getting things ready to go back home and then we went on a short hike/walk. We had a great time!

Fair Fun

I spent most of the day getting the camper cleaned and ready for our camping trip this weekend. This evening the kids, Micheal and I met a friend of mine from high school and her two girls at the fair. Hannah and her oldest were in class together last year. We had a good time together. It's been nice to get back in touch with people that I went to school with and a lot of them have kids Hannah's age so I've caught up with them at school. We got there a little before 6 and left right before 10 so for 4 hours we rode rides and stood in line! But it is worth it once in awhile. I have tons more to do before tomorrow but I'm looking forward to a great weekend and hope to post pics when we get back! Pray that the rain misses us!!
