Today was great! We have been indoors pretty much this whole week.. recouping from our trip last week to the Chattanooga Homeschool Convention. Other than church last night.. we have been at home.. saving gas.. chillin'.. cleaning.. chillin' and just stuff at home! So today I told the kids.. we could get everything straightened up.. mind you.. not CLEAN like I would like it to be, however, at least decent... and then go out!
They were VERY much for that idea.. so we went to visit Grandma.. swam in her pool... then went to see a movie with her and my sister (and her kids). It was really something we very RARELY do.. see a movie at the theater. In fact, Jeremiah.. who is 2.. has never been in a movie theater.. and he was SO fascinated by the lights on the floors.. and the fact that he could put his little arm all the way through the holes in the arms of the chairs (cup holders really..). I LOVED watching him just be so excited about seeing something new!
After the movie, John met us and took all the kids but Heidi with him back home. I went to Sams Club as we were out of almost everything you can imagine. So today was a great day.. had fun.. and got some shopping done.
Tomorrow we are going to be out.. spending the day with another homeschooling friend. We plan to meet..have lunch at the Cove (a really neat playground in the Thomas Road Baptist Church building) and then come up with a plan from there.. kind of "fly by the seat of our pants" type of day.. I am looking forward to it!
I also miss my older kids.. will be nice to have them back.. and hear all their stories of camp. They did not go last year.. this was the first year we felt a peace about them going, so am anxious to hear all of the experiences they have had.
Well, tomorrow is a big day.. so I will sign off.. two days straight.. blogging.. I am impressing myself!
My 6 yo DS went to the theater for the very first time this year. It is just something that we don't do. For me personally it is such a waste of money. LOL But he was beyond fascinated with the entire experience.
