HOT DAY!


Hi. Well, today was Saturday and our day started when Carter decided that it was time to get up at 7:45 a.m. I guess it could have been earlier, but I was really tired because Maddie, Carter and I stayed up late last night watching Shrek 2. We all had breakfast together and then decided to give Carter and Kinnick haircuts. Giving Carter a buzzcut is a piece of cake. He sits so still and just lets Adam get it done. Kinnick is a different story. He cried the whole time. We both felt awful by the time we were done. Next it was upstairs to give the boys a bath. They love to take a bath and it is hard to get them out of the tub. Carter likes to dump water on his head and help wash his own hair, but he also likes to help wash Kinnick's hair and that does not go over so well with Kinnick. Adam got ready to go play in his end of year softball tournament in Algona because his game started at 11 a.m. I kept all the kids here at home with me. It was just too hot to take them over to the game. Maddie was mad that she did not get to go but she got over it and decided that it would be more fun to play her play station 2. When she opened it to put the game in we found 3 DVD's that I thought we had lost somewhere along the way. I guess Carter must have shoved them into the PS2 and never got caught doing it. So he was excited when I showed him that we had found John Deere part 1, Shrek 1, and Baby Galileo. Kinnick took a 3 hour nap while Adam was gone. I guess he needed to catch up on some sleep since Carter woke him up so early this morning. Adam drove through McDonald's and brought lunch home for us. YUCK. I could do without it, but it was almost 1:30 and we needed to eat lunch. After lunch we got ready for church. Carter had not napped and we were going to 4 o'clock mass. He actually did not do too bad. We came home from church and made supper. Adam grilled brats and hot dogs to go along with our sweet corn and grapes. It was good. Kinnick ate 3 ears of corn. After we got the supper mess cleaned up I took the kids outside to swim in our pool. Kinnick is just not sure what to think of the pool. Carter and Maddie would live in it if I would let them. The thermometer said the water temp was 90 degrees. It still felt good. I would rather have it a little warm than too cold. Kinnick got crabby about 7:30 so I brought him inside and got him ready for bed. Have not heard a peep out of him since. Maddie and Carter stayed in the pool until 8:15 when I made them come inside to get ready for bed. They got their PJ's on and are sitting together watching animal planet. I need to get them off to bed so I better go for tonight. Talk to you again tomorrow! Love, Stephanie and family
