Here's how it went....
After Kim came and got her kiddos (they spent the night and woke up early) I went back to bed.
Maybe an hour later I ehar the fire alarm go off. I go turn it off the main switchboard thingy and check the hallway closet where the heater is.....wierd. Everything seems and smells normal to me. So I go back to bed.
Another hour later....I hear the kids up and about, yelling at each other throwing toys etc. So Ian and I get up to go greet them when we opened the door we were shocked.
As the door opened it was like a light white mist everywhere. My kids' hair was an ashy grey and EVERYTHING in the room was coated white. Baby Powder. My darling son had gotten ahold of it and emptied a brand new economy sized bottle of powder into everything........I wish I could have seen his face as he was doing it.
Their faces were so cute when we walked in, it's like they knew. Even though Reese was in the crib and didn't do anything she looked at us like "please don't get mad at me." Lol. It was darling.
Soooo.....that took about an hour to clean up, not to mention we were all coughing up baby powder and had to wash all the sheets, pillows and teddy bears in the room. My Dyson has never been more handy.
I Love my kids. Ian and I had to hide our laughter because we could tell they felt bad. ^.^
AFter that.....(it's now time for their usual midday nap) Ian takes Landon and I take Reese and we are going to have a boy's day and a girl's day. Ian took Landon to the McD's Indoor playground for breakie while I took Reese to the BK on base. Then we went to the consignment store and browsed then on over to the mall to get my work schedule for the week.......where she also got a big sprinkly sugar cookie :) It was fun just haveing mother-daughter time and Ian enjoyed his time with Landon, too. Then we met back at the house and let them nap. We got a lot of chores done. It was jsut a real productive day.
When they woke up Ian took Landon to the track and softball field to kick around a soccor ball and get this- my son ran around the track 1 1/2 times! Shit- that's more than I can do, lol! I'm so proud....but Ian said some kids stole Landon's soccor ball so that kinda stinks.
Reese and I went to get a battery for an old camera of Ian's that I found. Once I put the battery in I found soooo many old pictures back when Ian and I were dating....I'll have to see how I can get some of those on here. Then we walked around walmart...nothing special.
Came back, had dinner (tuna helper's divine!) put the kids to bed and now Ian and I are about to watch some movies.....
I'm capooped. Is that even a word anymore? I don't know.
Anywho. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

That's a good idea about having a mommy/daddy day. You're lucky because you have one of each. I wish Stephen and I could do something like that but he just works so much now.
Landon knows how to kick a soccer ball?! I took Daeja to a Soccer Tots trial class and all she did was run with a group of kids. To have that kind of energy. As for the ball, she seemed intimidated by it and would run away from it. Maybe its a boy/girl thing.
Also, one more thing, you seem to have found your way around this site. Is there a way to subscribe to your blogs? Just wondering...
