I long for the days when all I had on my calendar was... nothing. The days keep getting busier and busier. Somehow I even have a book that I checked out from the library over a week ago and I have not even read it yet! What has happened to my quiet, leisurely life?!! Today I pulled out the camera and took pictures of our adventures.
Not pictures of everything. The day started with getting the big kids out the door at 7:45, then a 45 minute date with my elliptical machine for me, followed by a shower and breakfast and a hustle out the door to be at the function at 10am this morning. I was already pooped by the time we got there!
This was our first time to attend the Toddler Time put on by the base. They made some Valentine's cards, which involved paint, and therefore required close monitoring, so no pictures. Then it was cookie decorating! Yum! Delaney was so careful with her frosting spreading.
And she poured a mountain of sprinkles on her cookie.
Delicious!
Rylee chose the white frosting and quite enjoyed spreading it all over.
Dumping on the sprinkles... although I think more frosting ended up on the sprinkler, than sprinkles ended up on the frosting.
Mustn't waste the frosting!
Tasty!
Then we were off to the commissary, but lo and behold! The Budweiser horses were visiting this week and one was hanging out right in front of the Exchange. Delaney just HAD to go see it. We waited our turn to pet him. Here's Delaney, chickening out now that I am not standing right next to her. (It was quite the massive animal.)
Rylee is screaming "Not pet horse!!"
We did get to the Commissary and I survived the experience.
Yes, I bribed them with little ice creams. I told them that well behaved little girls got ice creams today. Delaney was delighted to be a well behaved girl.
After groceries and naps and lunch and stuff, the big kids got home and we were off to the Chiropractor. Love her! Everyone got adjusted.
And thank goodness for friends! They told us the big park (which has been under renovation for 3 months!) was having it's grand opening this evening. So we stopped by on the way home from the chiro for fun and free dinner! All the hotdogs and chips you could eat. The kids had a blast checking out everything an playing at the "new" park.
Delaney was pleased to have free reign on chips. I rarely buy them, so it was a real treat.
And the bounce house! They had put one up and the kids kept asking who's birthday party it was. They bounced, they climbed, they ate, they played.... life was good!
It ended at 6pm and I dragged everyone home, and now it is bedtime. I don't know why they are all still running rampant, I'm exhausted!!

When we lived in San Antonio, Samantha (1-3 at that time) loved to go to the Budweiser stables at Sea World. When those magnificent beasts were in their stalls, Samantha was in LOVE. But anytime they brought the horses out to parade around the park, Samantha would climb the nearest adult's frame screaming, "Don't let it get my butt!!!" over and over. We have no idea where she got that idea, but it sure gave a chuckle to the others watching the parade and the man driving the team!
Kids are always good for a smile, aren't they?
I love it when there are super fun things that your kids will love, especially when it doesn't require any extra effort on your part! Like the horse and the park. So great! Makes my day when that sort of thing happens - mostly because it's such a delight to see Camden so delighted.
