Jake will be back home tomorrow and we can't wait. I have missed him so much, and I know the boys have too. But after a very busy week (A great week, but a crazy one) I may just be picking him up from the airport, and then going to get a pedicure or something while he reunites with his little buddies. Are you reading this babe?? Be prepared! My little tootsies and tosies need some serious TLC!!!
So, what did we do today? We got up and hung out doing a whole lot of nothing. I went to Target and got a few things that we needed and some that we didn't need, but that still found their way into my super hot, newly designed plastic cart. (They look so cheesey... even worse than the old ones they replaced!) Then we had a little lunch, and tried to think of something fun to do the rest of the day. I gave them the choice of the Zoo or the Arboretum. Most little boys, I think, would have picked the zoo...hands down. But not these 3. They were pumped to go to the Arboretum! I think a lot of it had to do with Andy's field trip there during the last week of school. He walked around that place showing us everything he saw on his field trip. I just kind of slipped behind Andy and Justin and let them explore and lead the way...there was no harm in them getting lost, or hit by a car on the deeper paths. I did get a little nervous a few times though. They had us so far into the middle of no where that I wasn't sure we'd find a path back to the main road-- but we made it. Next time we will drive the 3 mile loop and have the car filled with snacks and water since today, we just mindlessly started the walk without a thought or bottle of water! 3 miles in warm weather is just too much when you're 3 years old! This is one place where you can go and go and go and never see the same things twice. There is always something new blooming, or a new path to take and explore. Sadly today, when I took the camera out for the first of what I had hoped would be a whole new bunch of pictures, the battery was dead- so I got nothin' for ya. They also had a great time following spiders through the woods, and looking for Hagrids hut... just like we knew they would. ;)
On the way home we stopped at Dairy Queen for a treat (of course I had NOTHING to do with that idea). We got home, had some mac-n-cheese and they are in bed. The end. That was a busy day. Holy Moly, Tomorrow cannot come fast enough!!! I miss my man :)
