Saturday was fun! It was a busy day and we didn't have any time to get bored (which is the key to my sanity).
The kids and I went to Sci-Quest where they had a Truck-a-thon. There were moving trucks, fire trucks, army trucks, dog catcher trucks, tractors, bulldozer and a lot more. A very important one was the Ice Cream Truck. Of course my kids had a Popsicle at about 10:30 in the morning. It wasn't warm either. The moving truck gave out lollipops, oh what joy! I was able to put those away until after we had a PB sandwich and some Goldfish though. Go Mami!!!! The kids climbed all over the trucks and sat in the drivers seat, honked the horns (you can imagine the concert). It was awesome! We ran into friends of ours and Luke had a lot more fun with his friend Liam and his dad than if it had only been boring old me. 
And here a little story about the quality stuff our army gets to work with: There 
were two Humvee and the boys looked at and sat in both. The one had a look out (you have to excuse my ignorance, but I honestly have no clue about the proper descriptions) and you sit in a sling to look out. Then you turn a handle and the whole thing turns 360 degrees. Luke had a blast turning and turning and oops...the handle came off. One of the soldiers laughed and just said: That shows the stuff we have to work with; a 4 year old can break it. He was able to fix it though. Leave it up to my boy!!! He'll find a way.

After naps we went to Disney on Ice. T
he kids loved it. They were just smiling and watching. Well Lani only sat for a certain period of time. Too much to climb on for her to waste time sitting nicely. She did wave at Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald and Daisy Duck and yelled something in "laniish". Luke enjoyed it a lot too. He of course had to look at everything in a somewhat analytical way. "Mami, why are they doing that up there?" He was watching the workers change the set, instead of looking at the skaters. "Mami, how did the mermaids open those shells?" "Mami, are those things on wheels?" "Mami, look there's an elevator" .... Overall the kids really enjoyed it and clapped and waved. At the end Lani blew kisses at the characters. Jay and I had fun too.

Jay and I had fun too. This morning was an interesting one to say the least. Jay had sound duty at church and the kids and I are having a lazy day at home. I was doing dishes in the kitchen, Luke went to the potty and Lani was playing with her kitchen. Luke is screaming for me, telling me he was done with you know what. It took me a sec to get my hands dry. When I get to the bathroom, my sweet little girl is standing there wiping her brother. And Luke is acting like it's the most normal thing. I had to laugh, it just looked too funny. Lani had to get on her tippy toes to reach and well, she's only 2. We got everybody all cleaned up and hopefully this was the first and last time that happened.
