splash pads!

 thurs and fri we spent the day at 2 different splash pads.  i asked the girls each day "where do you want to go today?" and they tell me, then i take them.  they have a good childhood if you ask me!

they climbed and played

 look how far joey has come!

 i sat and watched

 then we fed some ducks, and ellie ran around the pond  times

 joey dried out

 we then met up with chris for a treat. but along the way, i was sitting at a red light and joey was talking then she says" that bus says no bad man allowed on the bus"  get it? bawahhhh

 then she said "this is where you go bowling" hahaha

 i was craving a sweet treat and i NEVER just go to starbucks and get one. but it was so hot, i went and got myself a drink (chris too) and it was SO good!

 silly with daddy. with chris working late at the land, i go to spend lunch with him. i get to see him and the girls see their daddy too

 today we hit up this splash pad. i think its my fav.  it doesnt have a bathroom thou, so you gotta hold it. ha. but i love that its not huge, and the local kids camp out there

 and i was able to sit and finally finish this book! its really good!  we stayed for 3 hrs at the park! 

then a quick superstore run, supper and an early bedtime for joey. not sure if its the heat, or what but little jo is ready for bed by 5:30 most nights...

im not complaining. i put her to bed for 6:15 and so far tonight ive weeded my garden, cleaned the back yard, made a dozen muffins, ran a load of laundry, cleaned up the house and had a coffee...in semi quiet!

i am reminded how much i miss those quiet days and nights!  trust me, ill enjoy the quiet after ellie goes to bed!

oh, and nate is having so much fun in hali that he's staying another week! i miss my dude!  but im glad he has the chance to go and enjoy himself!
