1. Dave helped Jackson make paper airplanes (my attempt was a complete failure... spacial understanding is a major weakness of mine). Jackson was thrilled all day to play and fly planes created at 'his' hands. We love having Daddy home all day on Saturdays!
2. Bath time. These kids act like they hate baths then they get in an love it. It only takes me getting one kid in before they all want a piece of the action. They really do hate being 'cold' after the bath though.
3. I took Jackson to a friend in his school class' birthday party. The kids got wet, had a big bouncy slide and watched "frozen". It was nice to get to know a few parents of Jacksons friends, but mostly I felt like I wasted 3 hours that I wanted to be doing other things.
4. I came home to re-realize that I married the best guy. He spent the 3 hours I was out chit-chatting and being bored at the party, doing my cleaning to -do list. The house was spotless! Amazing feeling! I am so lucky to have him! I ended up feel like I didn't know what to do with myself for the next few hours!
5. Today's game was Guess Who? The kids love games and that is my go-to when things are getting out of control and I have time to spend with them.
6. Hallie got new Jelly shoes (as did Mariah) Summer season has officially begun. She was fun to take shopping the other day because she really likes shoes and trying them on was heaven for her!
7. Mariah... this ended up being the first of 4 baths today. She was sick and with it coming out boths ends. So sad, and yet she is still a happy loveable sweet-heart. Laundry and changing sheets was common today. She is taking 3-10 steps consistently now and it wont be long until she is walking (I am done with the crawling stage... she is ruining her shoes, getting so dirty and crawling on her summer dresses... I want her to walk!)
8. Jackson found this book in my 'gift' closet and begged... and I caved. I really didn't think he could read it since it seems to be written for 10 year old boys, but he LOVES a challenge so he read several sections (thus the paper airplanes) and now he is convinced I am buying arrowheads to make a bow and arrow....
9. We got a babysitter and headed out to dinner with many friends in our ward/neighborhood. We ate at Souper Salad and were the youngest people there by 30 years. So funny! I really enjoy my friends here and had a great time playing with them and my husband. I over ate as always, but luckily it didn't affect my run later :)
10. After dinner we went to North Scottsdale for the Blacklight Run. Before the race we decked out in glow gear. We walked a long way to the start line and waited even longer to start the race. We were in the very last wave and started running at 8:30. Nearly everyone on the course was walking (slowly) so it was an obstacle course to dodge people, trees, bushes, holes all in the dark with bright lights shining in your eyes periodically. It was fun to keep a fast pace with Dave.
11. We don't go out together enough. Dave would rather go alone the two of us and I am always up for big groups... so this night was all about my preferences. He was a great sport and had fun... even when I wanted to go dancing.
12. We ended up covered from head to toe in glow powder that shone in the black lights. We danced a bit and enjoyed being with friends. Such a fun night, we came home exhausted and dirty. It was fun to have a multi-colored shower :)
