Today...

Today...went running with my mom. Then, we cleaned house in the morning (finally got my bathrooms cleaned :P). Then, we went to In 'n Out with mom and got food and went to the park with her and Sophi's boys. The kids played and I layed on a blanket and soaked in some sun. It was windy today but the sun was warm. Then, I took my kids to the library and we checked out 22 items. :)
Loving Spring Break!

Rainy Day

This morning I asked Ashton if he wanted to go to the park.
He said, YES YES, let's go right now!
Mom: "Park day starts at 10:30, hopefully it's not raining."
Ashton: "Well, lets go right now before it starts raining."
He is brilliant!
We babysat Blake and Jordan.
Went to the park for Park Day.
We were the only crazy one's there.
I think we really needed to get out of the house, more than anyone else.
Started raining right when we got out of the car.
Mom: "Ashton we have to go!"
Ashton: "but we just got here!"
Mom: "okay you guys play, I will be in the car with the baby.
They played in the rain for 5 minutes until they started getting in the sand and then I called it quits.
The sand was wet and going to stick all over them.
Mission Accomplished, we got out of the house!
Went home and ate lunch and watched Hot Wheels Battle Force 5 and Caillou.
Tonight I made homemade Chicken PotPie, it was YUMMY!

Contention!

Today was a great Labor Day! Not to much Laboring was going on! :) We went to the Ward Pancake breakfast at the park and Ashton was in the swing for a long time, he still loves the swing! Sierra was off with some friends. Then my kids were playing so nicely together in the sand making a sand snowman. Went and got In 'N Out for lunch but ate at home. Kids played and watched a movie, we read, took little naps and Jake watched some baseball. For dinner we went to Jake's parents house for a BBQ and enjoyed the company of several friends from the Ward (Greers, Teresa J., Dalton's and Kevin and Emily and their kids, CT), Aunt Leanne and Marne, Travis and Miriam.

Tonight we had a conversation with the kids about our cat...
Since we got the cat there has been a lot of contention in our home. The kids fighting over who gets to hold the cat. The cat crying because Ashton is pulling her tail or flinging her around or squeezing her. Then us yelling at Ashton to put the cat down. HORRIBLE STUFF!!! Our kids are on probation, no more fighting, no more torturing, NO MORE! Or the cat has to go which will make even me really sad because I love her, she has been a nice addition to our family but I cannot handle the yelling and fighting anymore. :( We'll see how we do... I love my kids tremendously but this is such a peaceful time of day...
