Today was a good day. I have to celebrate those little things right now. It's Monday, I didn't work today, so it was a girls' day out. It's a million degrees here today, OK just nearly 100. And humid. Must be careful about planning an outing in this weather.
Samantha and I took the girls to Fairfax Corner to play in the "Interactive Water Feature." Ryleigh and Maddie had fun running in and out of the fountains, although it took Maddie a while. Ryleigh was soaked right away. Ashtyn and Loralai sat in their strollers in the shade with Mommy. After a while, Ryleigh got bored, so she started taking my sunglasses and my shoes into the water to get them wet to help cool me off. :) She'd get soaked in the cool water and then run and hug my legs to share the coolness.
After the girls tired of the water, we went to Potbelly's for lunch. They had a young woman sitting up near the ceiling playing guitar and singing. The girls liked that. We enjoyed our sandwiches. Ryleigh and Maddie split a PB & J, heavy on the J. There was jelly all over the floor when we were done, and it wasn't really their fault. Ashtyn didn't eat much; I think she was just too hot to nurse.
We went to Kohl's to do a little shopping before coming home. I realized this morning that poor Ryleigh has only one pair of shorts (and a couple of skirts). I bought her some shorts and a t-shirt, since it was less than $2. Gotta' love those deals! Anyway, the funniest thing was when the girls were wandering in the toy section. They found these little sets with a baseball, bat, glove, soccer ball, football, etc. with Dora, Diego, or SpongeBob on them. When Samantha came over after trying on shoes, Maddie shouted, "Mommy! SpongeBob Square Balls!" We were nearly crying we laughed so hard. The girls just looked at us like we were crazy.
Ryleigh took a nap when we got home, and eventually, so did Ashtyn, so Mommy got to steal a few z's, too. Daddy came home from work and made dinner before waking me up. :) After dinner, he bathed the girls so I could have some down time. More :).
Life is good. God is great. All the time.
