This week always makes me feel sad. I will be glad to be free from constant fighting and loud noises throughout the day, but I'll miss my guys. CJ will really miss them. I feel very sorry for him.
We decided to have Josh's next bday party at a local splash park, so I thought I would take the kids to play there one afternoon. They've been many times before- Josh's soccer games were played at this place and they played on the playground and at the splash park many times.
They had a blast. Christian wasn't a big fan of getting too wet. He stayed mostly on the outside where he was safe. Josh and Jacob loved to stand under the dumping bucket. Evidently they had just shocked the water or something because that dark brown swim shirt Josh is wearing? It was a light TAN color by the time we got home. And Jake and Josh were really complaining about how badly their eyes hurt. I was furious. If it practically bleached out his shirt- imagine what that does to your hair, skin and eyes?
We took a break for lunch and a squirrel joined us. It was quite obvious he was used to visitors and was waiting for a snack. We fed him some crackers and sandwich crusts. The kids LOVED it. He was so close. Josh has a real phobia about bugs and the ants on the picnic table were about to give him an anxiety attack.
They played on the playground for a little while before going back to the splash park. When we got home, Josh and CJ were sound asleep within 5 minutes and took LONG naps.
Glad you started your blog again!
