a FUN day out!

Today was a school day for Parker... we carpool with another little boy in his class, Cooper, so today was their day to drive to school. Parker always likes getting to have a friend to ride to school with! He had a great day at school, and to his surprise, when he got home his Uncle Matt (Buther) and Aunt Nonna were here to say hello. They were in the neighborhood running some errands and decided to stop by and say hi to the boys! They visted for a few minutes and then asked to take Parker out to lunch with them. Of course Parker said YES... he LOVES to go out to eat!!! (not because I am a bad cook... he just likes to eat out!):) So anyways, the three of them left and ran their errands and went to the Machine Shed which is not far down the road. Parker had a BLAST!!! He didn't eat much of his lunch, (infact, he brought about all of it home!) but he was so excited to come home with a NEW "Monster Tractor" and $1 for his piggy bank!! What a lucky boy!!! He had a REALLY good time... THANK YOU, Matt and Nonna for spending the afternoon with him, it was such a fun surprise!!! :)

Back at home it was just Owen, the girls and me! We were busy making lunch... all of us! The kids LOVE getting to help, it makes them feel so "BIG"... and it makes it a lot easier for me when they are right with me in the kitchen!! :) They each got a bowl, spoon and some frozen corn to help me get ready. Only Owen was brave enough to EAT a peice of the corn... he aparently wanted to see what it would taste like!! :) Must not have been too bad, he didn't spit it out!!! hehe!
Now everyone is off to sleep and I am taking a much needed break!! :)

Hope everyone has a GREAT day!
