Have we had a wonderful two days! Yesterday the monsters and I hosted a "friend party" for some well, friends of ours:) That was lots of fun and came at a good time since the house was still clean from my mom being here:) There were 5 adults in-and-out and 16 kids! It was quite a houseful, but it was fun. It was after 5 by the time everyone was gone and nearly 6 by the time we cleaned up. We decided to wait for Ben for dinner, but that took far longer than we anticipated and it was 8 before he got home and 9 before we ate! The monsters didn't mind since it pushed bedtime way beyond it's point:) When we got home they did go right to sleep!
This morning, Ben, Declan and Killi headed out early for soccer pictures and haircuts, while I hung with Maggie at home. I managed a shower while they were gone and when they got home it was off to lunch, or so I thought; Ben however had other ideas. He decided that we would head out to Skyline Drive for some fresh-air and animals! We found lots of fresh-air, but our animal sightings were limited to a dozen of white-tailed deer. That was okay and the kids enjoyed it! They also LOVED the tunnel we had to drive through, so the trip was well worth it.
To end a great day, we headed to the Tokyo Inn for dinner. The monsters are huge fans of hibachi and we had a 25% off coupon so it was very doable! All-in-all, it was a fun day. Ben and I have always been fans of just getting up and going, but the arrival of monsters had slowed that some; now though it seems easier to pack-and-go again. It is much easier with a 7,6 and 4 year old than with babies, but still not as easy as it was with just the two of us:) Having then makes it all worth it though, Killi told us today that she had the Best Day of Her Life! Ben and I were so happy, it ended a wonderful day for us!
