Random Day- Review

For all of those who read the post "My Favorite Day" (below)
I decided to write about how the day went.

Well the boys woke up and I told them about the plan for the day.
They thought it was great.
Isaac got to choose what we did first after breakfast.
He chose to play the board game "Amazing Labrinth"
Then Tate chose to watch TV- So that is when I got my shower.
After 2 hours of TV I said ok...that is enough and I asked Isaac to choose somehting else.
He wanted to go to the park....but we ate lunch first and I apologized and said let's go to the grocery store real quick becuase I need to get a few things before Sunday tommrow. I did tell them they could pick out a candy.....
They ended up being little monkeys at the store and I got a headache. (mainly because I took my glasses off before I went thinking I would put my contact in...but I got distracted)
So we came home and they ate a snack while I sat on the stairs with my glasses back on waiting for my headache to go away.
So then off we went to the park, it had been raining so I brought a towel to wipe off the slides and anything else that was wet......
The park was fun...really fun....I think that was my favorite part of the day.
We then came home and they wanted to ride thier bikes in the cul de sac.
Then daddy came home and pretty much they were good for the rest of the day.

In the end I decided it would have been more fun if daddy were here to help break it up a little bit. Sometimes my boys suck out all my energy and I need a break sooner than I think. ha ha

But I did enjoy moments of it and I won't be afraid to do another one in the future.

My Favorite Day

My favorite day so far this year happened a few months ago. It was a Saturday and rainy and depressing and I don't think I was feeling good physically.....ha ha, I am sure that doesn't sound like a favorite day so far.....but I guess the day started out crummy but ended up well. After being in the house all day and starting to feel a wave of cabin fever, I announced that we needed to get out for some ice cream. We all looked really scruffy, they boys had messy hair, Keros was in his work clothes, I was in my "bum" clothes, my favorite blue flannel that I have had since High school and some jeans. I wasn't wearing any makeup either I believe....maybe some mascara.
Anyway we all jumped in the car and went to Dairy queen. We really didn't have lunch so we announced this as our lunch! Then on the way home we randomly decided to stop by the movie theatre, to our surprise Alivin and the Chipmunks was just about to start so we decided to just do it and go to the movies. I think I slightly remember trying to think if it was a wise spending decision, but then quickly tossed it aside enjoying the moment of spontaneity and we all got out of the car, looking like bums and bought our movie tickets and enjoyed out movie. The boys laughed and laughed during the movie. Isaac had the loudest laugh out of anyone in the theatre, I loved hearing it! Later we came home and had a simple dinner and just bumbed around and laughed and played with each other........I loved the feeling of not having anything else planned.

Today I woke up with feelings of sadness and missing my daughter Hope. I know she is in Heaven, exactly where she needs to be but there are so many things that still tug at my heartstrings and I wish I could have one more day with her.
So today I declare another random day! The boys are in thier beds still sleeping and Keros is off to a service project at work. I have no obligations today concerning my primary calling or anyone outside of my family......so I guess it makes it easier to declare a random day! Kind of a blessing in a way too.....
So when the boys wake up I will tell them they have the entire day to choose what they want to do.
The rules are .....
Not to spend any money.....well maybe 10.00 if we need some ice cream
That we take turns in deciding what to do
We need to eat 3 meals today
Wash your hands when you are done with the bathroom.....
Bed time is between 7-8:00 p.m.

How do those rules sound....good enough!

I am sure I sound insane maybe it is a little selfish too....to me it is bitter sweet ......I guess

Maybe my day will just be chaos.... ha ha!
I am going to spend the day enjoying my children and hopefully they enjoy me as well.
