good day

daddy is out of town for a business trip.  in New Orleans.  I know.
so anyway, the kids and i have had a really fun day--with minimal teeth-clenching on my part.  We went to the park with my sister and her kids this morning.  Kids had a blast.  played at the playground, went for a walk through the "woods"--it's a paved trail, not a genuine forest...  stopped by the stream and threw in rocks for-um-ever.  i think that may have been the kids favorite part.  and every time one of the little kids threw a rock, they looked like they were on the verge of hurling themselves in as well.  but they're all fine and no one needed to be rescued.
after nap, my boys played outside until dinner.  after dinner we colored the driveway all up with chalk.  noah wanted to color daddy's tires, but i thought that may not be appreciated.  There were some tears when Noah realized that daddy was not coming home tonight.  lots of snot and "babets" (blankets) involved.
but, anyway, good day.  we had fun.
