I have finally made it to the end of the 5 weeks of "walk a mile" at work so my hours have been 5 a.m. to 13:30 and I usually was squeezing a nap in before picking up Riley but we had playgroup at 3:00 and I didn't want Riley (or I ) to miss it. So glad we didn't because when you mix together kids and huge buckets full of water the fun never ends! The kids amazingly didn't notice the cold water but straight from the hose I was shocked at how frigid it was after being splashed a few times. I love our playgroup and when you add a baby, a 13 month old who is so fun to watch explore and learn, 2 toddlers and 5 and 6 year old the fun never ends.
Riley had a blast and was soaked from head to toe by the time we raced home to eat a quick dinner, get changed and dried and head right up to softball. We were so busy rushing around I don't think I even got a chance to talk to Derrick!
Softball watching was fun as always and as the mommies were talking away Riley was cheering "Daddy, Daddy" and sure enough his Daddy was making a big catch out in the outfield! I guess for now he shows no signs of my poor vision! Little Avery is such a sweetheart and calls me "mama." She gives out lots of hugs and wants me to take her-which I gladly do! The second game though my cousin Dave's kids were also under my watchful eye and I learned a painful lesson about having an 8-yr-old, 5-yr-old, 2-2-yr-olds and a 1-yr-old in my arms. April could do nothing more than just laugh since I am the one who wants 4 kids but I just kept telling myself my own kids will be 'different'? right?! It was an eventful evening and both Riley and I left exhausted!
