Our trip to Holly Bay Recreation Area was a hit after we actually found it. Aaron said he knew where he was going and that I didn't have to look it up on-line even though I had already googled it. So we packed a lunch, some wipes, a diaper, and an extra pair of Max's underwear and we were off. I soon discovered that Aaron really had no idea where he was going. He couldn't believe that I didn't seem annoyed at all at the fact that we just kept driving an driving...I was actually a little surprised at it myself. I must of known that something good was going to happen that was better than any lecture I could have given him about researching directions. A few seconds later Molly told piped up from the backseat, "Daddy, my tummy hurts". My kids don't get sick very often, but when they say that their tummies hurt you better watch out because something very bad is about to happen at one end or the other of their bodies. A few short minutes later Molly barfs all over herself. At least it was all over herself and not the entire backseat. I figured that Molly regurgitating was enough punishment for Aaron. So we pull over and I use every single wipe to clean her up, pull off the shirt she is wearing, and send Aaron into my giant mom bag for a new shirt. OF COURSE, there is no shirt in there. I have 2 pairs of pants and a pair of underwear. SO...her hero, daddy, takes off one of his tees and puts it on her. He even tied the side knot for her. I actually had some string in my bag and we tied the sleeves up on her shoulder. It did the trick for the afternoon and besides a good sunburn on her right shoulder (the t-shirt didn't stay up that well on that side) all was right with the world. They had a terrific day...eating lunch, playing on the playground, throwing rocks into the water, playing ball....Aaron and I even threw around the softball.
Today we headed to Lexington to try a new church. There was absolutely nothing wrong with this one, I think we just more at home at the last one we visited. I would really like to start a bible study here and the reason (excuse) I can come up with for still not having done it is that I am having a baby soon. I know that that is probably a good enough reason, but I still feel I'm using it as an excuse. Maybe once the baby is here and on a bit of a routine I'll feel better about it. Of course I have the fear working in me too. Maybe if I would just pray about it like I am supposed to, He would give me the answer I'm looking for.
Our afternoon was then filled with planting flowers and seeds. I definitely don't have the green thumb like my mom, but I usually try every spring. The kids had a good time and I most enjoy taking pics of them and have every intention of scrapbooking their every move. Oh and speaking of scrapbooking, I am on a mission to create my own scrapping space in our tiny hall closet. I just need a few more shelves and I should be all set. I can't wait to start working on everything...no if my kids would just give me the time to scrap I'd be all set!
