Today has been a relatively quiet day at the zoo. Richard is working a 24 hour overtime shift. I hate that he is gone, but we love the money. LOL
Douglas had a doctor’s appointment. While he was there I headed over to the pool store for a new pool cover since ours was destroyed last winter when a large tree branch blew on it during one of the nor’esters we get. I lucked out and it was on a great sale.
After his appointment we did a quick trip to Walmart to get a few things. Diapers are a necessity right now. (The potty training adventure will begin shortly. I am SOOOOO looking forward to it — NOT!) Then we headed home. After lunch, I sat down with everyone to go over the past two days of school. I found out that some supplies were needed. I love how the school supply lists are never correct.
While the girls were napping Mandy baked some sugar cookies that are a favorite in our house. After the girls got up we loaded everyone up into the van and headed over to the Super Walmart. We found what we needed and were actually able to get out of there within an hour. I think that is first for use. We had very few “stupid” comments.
Since it was 6PM by this time I decided to treat the kids to a McDonald’s meal. We haven’t done that in months. Since it is such a rare treat, they have been very thankful. Right now they middle four are taking showers and watching the Wizards of Waverly Place movie. Then they will be heading to bed.
I hope you all had a relatively quiet Saturday too!
