Good Day

It was a good day...can't say that a lot was accomplished, but it didn't seem to matter. After McKenna was off on the bus and John had left for work the 3 of us at home got ready for the day and then there were pictures to be painted, play dough to be thrown and a kitchen to be left a mess. Then we were off to have lunch and time to be shared with friends. It seems life gets so busy that sometimes you just need to make time for friends, especially friends that you talk to everyday but never actually see. :)

When we got home the sun was shining so we fed the chickens and then headed inside for naps, homework and reading. It was amazing how quickly 4 pm approached and 20 minutes before we grabbed our scooters and headed for the bus stop. Walking to and from the bus stop was one of my favorite moments of the day-Everyone was in a good mood, we weren't in a hurry and we just chatted about nothing. McKenna decided to branch out on her own by walking up the neighbors drive to get to our house while we rode the scooters behind our house. It's always neat to watch as she stands a little taller when she knows she's getting to do something the younger kids would never be allowed to do. Watch us both grow...

This evening John was at the Auburn Football game helping out on the sidelines-he'd invited us to come to the game, but frankly the thought of sitting in the stands with 3 young children who probably would have no interest in the game wasn't very appealing. After playing with the toys and then a light dinner we put our pajamas on, made popcorn and settled for a movie-Rio had come in the mail via Netflix and we were pretty excited to see it. We laughed, we danced we loved it! A very fun night with the kids-wish they were all so laid back, but this is the stuff I want to remember or read about when I look back.
