That's what we've been doing the past 3 days. Saturday we rode 1 1/2 hours to my Uncle Carl's surprise 60th birthday party. I love surprises! My dad, Dawn, sister Alyssa, Hunter, Carson, Emilynn, and myself all rode together. Yes, the car was packed with car seats! It was a pretty drive to the mountains though. We enjoyed the party and seeing family we don't see often. The kids got tired though, there wasn't much for them to do there. Emilynn almost cut the cake twice before the party began. Other than that, they did okay. Another little girl knocked over the American flag there...it was loud. I was glad it wasn't my kids! :-) It made me feel better.
Sunday I went to my cousin Kristen's son's baptism. Dylan is 5 months now. Hard to believe....anyway, I left the kiddos at home and went with my grandparents. We had a nice day together. I will say, the baptism service at their church is beautiful. I love going, makes me tear up. The actual building is beautiful as well, and I've seen lots of pretty churches. It is even prettier than ones I saw in England, known for it's beautiful sanctuaries.
Tonight I went to Abbey's volleyball game. Again, Daddy kept the kids. I was going to take them and he volunteered to give me a break. He's awesome like that. :-)
I always feel so refreshed after a little outing by myself. They needed to go to bed early anyway. They didn't get a good nap today, as it was Monday and we always get milk on Mondays. We have been meeting my sister Amanda and our friend Joyce for lunch every Monday. It is a lot of fun....we have a good time. I got the car serviced while we were eating, so that is something off my never-ending to-do list. :-) Now I just need to call the man to clean it.
The rest of the week is shaping up to be busy as well.....we have a VDOT meeting Wednesday which I MAY have to take the kids to. Good thing they aren't formal, at least the last one wasn't. Thursday is a concert in town we may go to, since the twins LOVE music & dancing. And Saturday is our trip to the "water park" as Hunter keeps saying. Although Hurricane Irene may have other plans for us...so we'll see. I certainly don't want to have 3 toddlers in a water park during a storm. I guess we'll stay tuned to see what happens with that...
