Lauren and Tucker have been with us since Saturday night. Yesterday, while Mr. Macho and the crew brought aid to the weary Daughter, we went to the movies to see "Wreck it Ralph". It was a cute story. We followed that up with an hour of free play at the real neat playground by the hospital. It has a nice cushioned surface under all the equipment. Cool equipment that included a set of three bongo drums.
Today we made a trip to the store-that-has-everything and picked up some fun things for their new house. Dirty clothes baskets for each of their rooms. Sparkling peach/grape juice to toast the first night in the new house. We also brought some surprises for their mom. (New dish towels and dish cloths for the new kitchen. Spray bottle of Lysol and some Mr. Clean magic sponges to keep the clean smell going. AND. The best of all. A huge-ass package of toilet paper. Because she is now the proud owner of 4 bathrooms. Yes. Four.) She will find the items interspersed with the clean folded clothes in the hamper when she starts to unpack them. Won't she be surprised!?
We dined at Chez McDonald's after our shopping excursion. Then I had to hurry home because I kept forgetting to take my turkey out the freezer. Meant to do that yesterday. Got it done.
An hour and a half at the 'business park'. (Because Uncle Son in Town made a comment years ago - something about "none of your business". Thus the children dubbed the park "the business park".)
When we came home Son in Town and Sweat Pea came over and played. Cousins. They had fun. And I have to say that Lauren is so, so good with little children. I hope that she continues her sweet nature in care taking. Tucker? Well he is still a bit of a bull in a china shop with the little ones.
A good supper of fish sticks, peas, salad, peaches and chocolate chip cookies and the kiddos are happily ensconced in front of the TV. Ahh. Baths are about to commence. Bed time can't be far off.
I am thankful I can say that it has been a good day. There have been melt downs. I am thankful they didn't last.
