daddy had the day off!!

lance has been on a recruiting trip this week so he was able to take today off! we decided to make today as special as possible! we went to shipley doughnuts for breakfast... and, yes, we did bring our own gallon of milk. you have to think thrifty these days!we then headed to barnes and noble for the friday morning story time. if you haven't tried this at your local barnes and noble - it is definitely worth the trip. This morning they read The Rabbit Who said MOO. After the story, the kids got to color a picture of a rabbit and glue a fuzzy tail on it.
and, as if that weren't enough fun, they provide snacks from the Starbucks. here are the kids drinking their hot chocolate shots and enjoying chocolate chip cookies!
we then headed to the park for a picnic lunch and playground time. no one else was there so we had lots of privacy.... which was good considering the bathroom doors were locked and we had to get a bit creative.
don't judge us... this really was the next most responsible thing to do. wouldn't you know that both kids had to pooh. allie went first and said repeatedly, "i'm very disappointed!" (we have not included her picture as to protect her femininity). caleb went second and enjoyed singing, "pooh pooh in the potty, pooh pooh in the potty!"
once that was over we could enjoy the park for the afternoon!
now we are home.
kids are sleeping.
mom and dad are relaxing on the couch.
happy Friday!
