MIA, sorry!

I've been crashing pretty hard at night, before I've been able to blog. Sorry!

Today was a good day. Chilled out a bit in the morning, finally getting up and ready to go at 11am. We headed over to The Playstation. It's a HUGE indoor place place with tunnels and slides and a ball pit and lots of fun stuff for the kids to play in. It's also nicely air conditioned! Played there for a few hours. Had to head to CVS to finish up the candy deal. I let the boys pick out $2 in candy. It was interesting watching them snatch up their favorites right away and then try to decide what else they wanted to get. Kaden wanted to get a ton, but had to pick and choose. Good learning experience for them. I've got plenty stuck away that will last a while for us all. Then we headed to WM to pick up some more gauze for Kaden's elbow and some fruit.

Back at home the kids hit the pool. It was nice the neighbor kid wasn't home, so they actually payed in it for well over an hour. usually if the kid is home and out, Salem and Kaden go and do what he wants to do. So it's nice the boys played what they wanted to. Keith finally came home, well he was right on time, but he didn't get a lunch today, so he was starving. Dinner followed shortly, some yummy chicken and rice! Oriental style for mom and dad which involves putting some oriental type sauce on it. It's a yummy kit we pick up from Sam's Club.

Then Keith mowed the lawn while I ran off to return some stuff I had sitting around waiting for me to be able to go without the kids. I was planning on hitting WM again to use some of my coupons, but didn't feel up for it. I hit a bunch of stores returning and window shopping and I only came home with 3 packs of candy, hand sanitizer and some neosporin. Kinda pathetic for me, but good on the wallet!

Tomorrow we head to Adventureland over in Des Moines! We're meeting our friends there too. The boys are planning on going on Dragon (the upside one) and The Outlaw (the old wooden one). Kaden wants to go on Tornado as well, but not Salem. Salem says he LOVES the downhill part, it's fast and fun, but he hates going up the hill! That's fine he did it last time we were there. Still can't convince Kaden to go on the Space Shot, darn it!

Sunday we have a MTB race in Boone. We'll be staying at our friend's house since the race is close to their house...well closer than our house is. The weather should be nice, the course seems nice, we'll see how Keith does. Hopefully very well!!!

Not sure if I'll update tomorrow. If not, I'll be back on Sunday with all sorts of fun stuff I'm sure!
