Not Just Another Sunday...

I had a fun day with the kids yesterday. Alyssa woke up at 7:30... Well, I mean she slept in my bed all night and tossed and turned, but I'm counting that as sleeping. Will and Jon went to hockey and by the time they came back, 10:30, we had already watered the lawn, played with water balloons, played with play dough, and painted! It actually was the first time I ever let Alyssa paint, and will most probably be the last time also.

It started off all nice and neat...

I am not quite sure what I was thinking, maybe I wasn't, but I decided to show Alyssa how to make hand prints. And, that was when the mess started...

Anyway, then we went to the pool for a few hours. I got some great pics of my nephew and Emily on the diving board.....

And a cute one of Jon and all the kids...

I tried to visit a former neighbor of ours who was in hospice care.... I bought a plant to brighten up the room a little and some chocolates for the family, but when I got there they weren't there anymore. I started crying and the guy at the information desk told me they were there yesterday and that maybe they took her home.... I emailed my former neighbor. I'm waiting to hear back from him. My former neighbor is probably in his early 90s and emails---- how cool is that???

Then we chilled at home till Jon left for hockey 7:45 pm. When suddenly we had this great idea that we should go to the park and play tennis. So I took all 4 kids to play tennis. We stayed there for half an hour or so..... we decided to leave when two bats started flying around near us.

By 9:20 all the kids were in bed and asleep and I went downstairs to clean up and get a little tv time in. I found this reality tv show on vh1 called Megan Wants A Millionaire. Exactly what I needed after a long day... So ridiculous, I love it!
