We were supposed to go to Omaha and go to the zoo today and I postponed those plans earlier in the week because my youngest two kids have had this awful cold that just wouldn't seem to let go and I was afraid that we would get in the middle of the zoo and they would decide they were done dealin'. Well, yesterday they woke up and seemed like they had never even been sick. How do they do that?!?!? Wish I had that power!!! Anyway....
One of my daycare moms called last night and wanted to know if the kids and I wanted to go to Pawnee lake with her and her 3 kids. Sounded like fun, but I would have to wait and see what they looked and felt like when they got up this morning. We got up and they were rarin to go. We headed out to the lake at about 1 and got home at 4:30. It was so much fun!!! The beach at that lake is PERFECT. Not trashy, not full of glass and nastiness on the lake bottom, just wonderful. I am FRIED. And tired. Poor Jenna (my three year old) was so tired that on the way home her eyes were glazed over and she couldn't even snap out of it to talk to me. She is now hard asleep on the couch for what I assume to be the duration of the night. Poor little thing. She had so much fun that she just couldn't stop moving. Zack and Addison, of course, had just as much fun and are both just as tired, but they won't stop for nothin', till Mommy says so at bedtime.
I always say that winter is my favorite season, and I stand by that. However, now that my babies are growing and I can actually go places with them without having to take two diaper bags (#2 and #3 are 16 months apart in age.... there was two diaper bags for about two years....), life is so much more FUN and we are able to do things that my husband and I did as kids, such as camping and going to the "beach".
As my Grandma Shafer says, "Ain't life grand??"
