Fun Day with the Kids

We had fun around the house yesterday building a fort, and later put up a tent in the backyard. I filled the kiddie pool, and Annalise and Bennett splashed around, while Colin (who doesn't have much interest in swimming) watered the garden with watering cans filled over and over again from the rain barrel. We made some corn muffins and jello jigglers, and headed to a party last night. Mike was unable to make it back from his fastpitch tournament in Wisconsin in time to join us, so it was a little hectic, trying to manage all three on my own. We headed home through the rain drops, with lots of tear drops falling on the inside of the vehicle. Luckily, my obliviousness to the weather didn't matter, as we didn't have any storm damage in our neighborhood at all.

Today we went for a drive to my cousin Jay's in Coon Rapids, and picked up some cool Thomas things that his son Dylan didn't want anymore. After that we stopped by to visit HH and family, and now the kids are "resting" (euphemism for napping), and Mike is keeping up with his suburban lawncare responsibilities.

Have a nice week!
