Well, I got Lexi and Riley back home from their visit with their Dad. It's always interesting to see what's going to happen after they've been gone for six weeks in the summer. Nothing too out of the ordinary happened yesterday and we actually had a nice day! They got home and ran right outside to see the chickens....staying only a minute as it was sooooo hot. Then they ran all over the house making sure things were as they left them. :o) We tricked them and didn't tell them we'd got the new mini-van so they were excited about that. Riley said he liked the fact that it had "universal cup holders". LOL Kids think of the darndest!
One thing definitely made me smile yesterday besides getting them home safely. While I was driving along, listening to all their summer activities, Riley looked very serious and said "Mom, I really like how your hair curls". I was taken aback a bit because my kids don't usually compliment my hair. LOL. When I asked him why, he said "well, whenever we need to find you (this time he meant in the airport when they were watching for me at the gate) all I have to do is look for your curly hair and it's easier to find you". Awwwwww! I told him that was a great idea! He did say he saw a few others with curly hair but he really knows mine. :o)
Now I have a lot on my plate! More laundry, more cleaning, more cooking, more spending, more driving them to their friends' houses and on and on. I told Mike I was going to get overwhelmed after my break and he said "you shouldn't have had five kids then." I guess he does have a point.....but I wouldn't change it for the world.
