April 26th - Unexpected Fun Day with Kids!

When I checked email this morning, Lisa had sent a note asking if I was going to be around could she bring the kids over while she had her hair done.  I, of course, immediately responded with a "bring them on"!  I then tried to get my normal things taken care of, so I would be free to have fun.

She dropped them off around 10:00 and we had a fun time.  Once it warmed up a little, we spent a long time outside.  They played in the play house and had the bubble maker machine out, too.  It was a gorgeous day and it felt good to be out.  Just about the time we were going to get a little lunch, Bill called and said he was on his way home and would pick up a pizza.  We all sat around the table eating the pizza and being entertained by those two.

By 1:00, Brooks was spent, so he went right down for his nap.  He ended up sleeping over 3 hours!  Meanwhile, Ashby wanted to read books, so she read some and had me read some.  Her reading is amazing.  She was reading books that are Easy Readers, but not the beginning type.  I think she must be reading somewhere around 2nd grade level already.  She also went outside with Grandpa for a while.  He was doing the final sanding on the playset and she helped him out.  She looked so cute with her goggles and ear protectors.

When Lisa finished the hair appointment, she called and since Brooks had just gone down for a nap, she took the opportunity to do some things she needed to do and which are much more quickly accomplished alone!  She loved having a free afternoon.

They left around 4:30 or so, which gave us a short break before we had to get ready to go to the church for the YW fundraiser - a Mexican dinner from Del Rio and a silent auction.  It was a fun evening and Bill especially loves auctions - although he likes the loud kind better so he can get in a bidding war with someone.  He actually did that on a couple of the gift baskets, so I think he got his auction fix.  We ended up bringing home quite a haul!  It was all for a good cause.

This quiet Friday turned into quite a busy day - and so much fun!
