Watching Baby Einstein.

Playing with some new things.

Again I did my am exercises last night. We headed over to Mom’s house around 7:15. On the way we stopped for donuts and chocolate milk. Mel and her family were already there. Vikki and Kenzie got there soon after we did. Today was Mel’s 34th birthday so we all sang Happy Birthday to her. Jack was in his car seat for a little while and the kids rocked him in there. Mom had to make a quick trip to Grandpa’s house before we could leave. Jared and Dad stayed home with Jacob, Adam, Hailey, and Max, while we girls (and Jack) went to the garage sales. We headed there around 8:45. It was a warm and very windy day. Uncle Terry and Aunt Vikki met us there and joined us for sale shopping. While we were shopping Jacob called to tell me he had hurt his knee. He sounds so much older on the phone now. A while later Jared called saying, “Don’t say anything, but you know them stove covers that your Mom used to have?” He mentioned that I should look for some and told me that he had burned one from Mom’s set. He’d turned the stove on while making lunch but didn’t realized, until too late, that he turned on the wrong burner. He said it set off the fire alarm. Around 1pm Aunt Vikki and Uncle Terry headed home. Soon after that it started pouring raining. We ran to a nearby garage sale. Jack laughed as the rain hit his face. It was so funny. He was such a good boy the entire time we shopped. The rain didn’t last long and we did some shopping at that sale until it passed. After a few more sales we went back to the van and ate a packed lunch. Mom had made chicken salad sandwiches for us and she also brought drinks and pringles. After eating we drove to a different area for more shopping. Kenzie surprised Mel with a snickers bar for her birthday. Around 2:30 we headed back to Mom’s house. We sure had a fun time and found some really nice things. When we got to Mom’s, Adam and Max were asleep. Jacob and Hailey were watching Bob the Builder. We had fun sorting thru the things we’d bought today. Jacob and Hailey had fun playing with the few toys that I’d gotten. Kenzie tried on some of her new outfits. Adam was cuddly when he woke up from his nap. Mel and her family headed home around 4:30. Jacob and Adam had fun playing with Nana’s new cars. They enjoyed watching a Baby Einstein video until dinner was ready. We got home around 8pm. The boys had a little time to play their new things. They were tucked in bed by 9pm.
