Fun Family Night

Yesterday afternoon we left for Rapid City for a family night. We had a good time. We went to Hobby Lobby, Target, the Mall, and than ate at Fudruckers (sp?) Then it was off to a hotel where our daughter was so excited to FINALLY get to go 'wimmin.' You see this child is too smart for her own good. As I was packing our suitcase yesterday while Jason was finishing up some details, the last thing I put in was the two blow up floaters for AG & E when we go swimming. Please remember we only use them when we stay in hotels and the last time was in February (AG ~ 17 months), before that was October (AG ~ 13 months). And there were a couple of time before that. Anyway, they were in deflated form and so I didn't think I needed to be sneaky or anything because why would my daughter have a clue what they were...oh how wrong I was. The minute I pulled them down from the top shelf in her closet she started saying, "wimmin Mommy, WIMMin Mommy, wimmin MOMMY!" This was around 11:30 in the morning. We didn't even leave until 3:30, and didn't get to our hotel until around 8:45 pm! She did not forget that Mommy had packed a bag and it had her wimming stuff in it! Try to get a 2 year old to eat while her head is focused on WIMMIN!

What a fun time we had, sadly we were enjoying the time so much that Jason or myself didn't think to take pictures. We did discover that AG is to brave for her own good, and drinking a little pool water and temporarily loosing her wind didn't stop her! She wants to swim like the big people do!

Ethan ended up getting sick...this is the first time he has been vomiting sick since his issues have been over. You know how a Mommy's mind works...this being the first time, "it is the flu, right? Just a bug, for sure? It could be all the other stuff coming back...but it's just a bug...pretty sure." These are all the things racing through my head...but kids get sick. He has had alot of activity this week and been out of schedule with the roof being repaired all week long (praise the Lord!) So, will keep you all posted on that.

Now we have returned home, J is over at the church getting ready for tomorrow and I, well I am suppose to be putting together my shopping list so we have food to feed the college students tomorrow. So, better run do that! Stay posted for snow pictures! We have received 8 inches total in town here, and there are another 8 to 13 on the way tonight! At the moment though our current 8 has already melted down to 1 or 2. Wanna come visit?
