Walk, Ice cream and Pirate Pirate Pirate!

Luckily our kids were awake by the time we got home from eating after the beach so that gave us enough time to get them in the tub :)  Normally we would hope that they would be asleep, but I knew that the next morning was going to be early and a little hectic anyway, so if we could bath them before that that would be helpful.  And... wouldn't you know it the kids slept in Sunday morning.

We don't ever set alarms anymore because the kids are always up way earlier than we have any scheduled... but not today!  We were volunteering in Sunday School so we had to be there extra early so we had to leave before 8:30... guess what time the kids get up?  8:05!!  So, we got the kids dressed, fed and out the door in less than 20.  I was feeling pretty good about myself haha.  I was a room leader again this week and I was in toddler's instead of walkers.  It went well.  There was only an incident where a parent didn't get their number bracelet on before they left and I had to quickly chase them down! But, lucky for me she had stopped to get coffee and bagels and was right by the baby bay wing.

After church we went to Mom and Dad's and my sister and her kids were out with Jason... so we had Grandma and Grandpa all to ourselves!  Something that used to be the norm, but now it is a special treat.  We promised the kids that they could have ice cream after dinner (yesterday at the beach) but by the time we actually had dinner it was so late, so we said that they could have it the next day with Grandma and Don.  We walked to the ice cream place and actually got to treat my Dad to ice cream!  He usually buys everything and you can't argue with him, but this time we got to do something nice for him.  The kids had a blast riding in the stroller with Grandpa because he was a crazy driver. haha.




On the way back from ice cream we stopped at a play ground and the kids had a good time.  It was really strange though because while we were there G and I both felt really nauseous.  I don't know if it was a combination of the heat and swinging or something but we did not feel well.  We did start to feel a little better after we got back home and drank a lot of water so I'm thinking a combo of heat and dehydration had something to do with it.  We had quite the jam packed fun filled weekend!  Whew.  :)
