Playset

This week started with a trip to the Children's Museum on Sunday with our friends Sarah, Teresa, and Addison. We had so much fun.

Caleb enjoyed showing the girls the cool dinosaur puzzle you can do on the computer and of course the huge dino footprint. Then we made it to the kids play area where they spent the majority of their time scanning and buying groceries.Caleb really enjoyed this which I think could be a good thing for his future wife. We headed outside for the construction play before it was time to see Elmo and Big Bird narrate at story in the Planetarium. After a quick picnic lunch, the kids enjoyed the different science exhibits as well as playing with the tinker toys. It was funny because the girls built necklaces and bracelets, while Caleb built a toy gun. How typical.

Sarah and I got a good visit in while the kids enjoyed all the many activities, but we finally had to drag the kids away after several hours of museum play.

That night we got to visit with Uncle Jason and Aunt Blair who stayed the night before Uncle Jason's surgery the next day. Greg grilled out some yummy steaks for us while we got to catch up with them.Monday we had Caleb's birthday present put in, a new playground set. Caleb was very surprised when he got home from school.

We had the neighbors come over to cook out and let their kids help break in the new present.

Tuesday seemed like a very long day, and Greg had to go to Oklahoma, so we didn't see him until late that evening. When I went to pick Caleb up from school I found out he was to wear uniforms starting Monday since he is starting Preschool. Following a frustrating day at work, that was not the most exciting news to end the day with. Still not sure why a memo wasn't put up or sent home, and apparently we have to order the uniforms online and it takes 2 weeks to come in. Obviously still a little frustrated by the information or lack there of, but we did order the uniforms and he will get by with solid shirts until they arrive. Wednesday was a better day at work, probably because I was anticipating spending a wonderful evening with my hubby. Our wedding anniversary is on the same day as Caleb's Birthday, August 28th, so we rarely celebrate our anniversary on the actual date. We took advantage of Restaurant Week in Fort Worth and made reservations at Del Frisco's. We had a babysitter for the kids, and Greg surprised me with by hiring a chauffeur to drive us downtown. It was a very romantic night and the dinner was awesome! We celebrated (almost) 6 years of wedding bliss. Today was my day off with the kids. We had Caleb's last day of swimming lessons first thing and then hurried home to invite the neighbors, Dax and Ace, to come over and play while their little sister Ivy went with her mommy, Amber, to the doctor. The boys had a great time playing in Caleb's new playset. Then they shared some yummy lunch from McDonald's thanks to Amber. After lunch the kids went their separate ways for nap time. We ended the day playing in the fort with Caleb and Lexie.

That's where daddy found us when he came home from work. Lexie seems to enjoy our new playset as well.Big brother was a good sport to push Lex in her new pink swing.

A nice ending to a busy week.
