Last week we were on spring break so we didn't have Henry & Lydia on Tuesday, Jack didn't have preschool, Keira didn't have ECFE and we didn't have bible study. So we planned some fun outings! Jared took tuesday off and we went to the Children's Museum. It was really busy there even though we got there shortly after they opened. The kids had a lot of fun although I did have to yell at a woman. Her 3 kids were being little brats and I lost my patience with them. Keira was playing with the water boats and these kids came up and pretty much just took over. They kept budging in front of her and taking her boat and putting their boats in front of hers and just generally being dicks. I kept nicely telling them that she was next and they needed to wait their turns. They paid me no mind and just kept sending boats down. Finally I went down and snatched up a boat that one her bratty kids was about to grab and handed it to Keira and then pulled one her other kids' boats out and told him to wait his turn. The mother got all offended and called me rude! I said "No, they are rude! They keep budging in front of her, taking her boats, releasing her boats and putting their boats in front of hers. Do you mind if she has her turn that she has been patiently waiting for? Maybe you should actually watch your kids!" She said nothing and neither did the several other parents that were standing around.
So Keira got to finally send her boat down and then I said "lets go somewhere else now where kids actually know how to play nicely."
I was so angry at that woman I was shaking! She was standing there the whole time and didn't care that her kids were being ogres and taking over the whole area and trampling over a little 2 1/2 year old!
I really really can't stand people that take their kids places and then don't watch them. I saw far too many women there with several kids. DO NOT bring more children than you can watch and for the love of pete WATCH THEM!!! And if they're being dicks SAY SOMETHING TO THEM!!!! I don't like to go places like that with just my 2 kids! I know it's hard to watch them both so I like to have my mom come or have Jared take the day off. I cant believe it when I see someone with 5-6 kids. How can you possibly watch all of them???
Wednesday morning my mom picked us up and we met Amy, Simon and Vera at the YMCA. The kids had so much fun playing in the water. We really need to go more often. We showered up and came back to my house for lunch. Then Keira napped and the boys played for a few hours.
Thursday morning we met Amy, Simon and Vera at Como Zoo & Conservatory. We started out in the Conservatory looking at plants and flowers. Then we saw a few animals, had lunch and then saw a few more. We were there for like 5 hours! I couldn't believe the kids didn't turn into little monsters. Then they didn't even fall asleep on the way home!
We ended up having my mom babysit Thursday night and we went out for a bit. I think it was the first time we've gone out in like 5 months!
Friday we just hung out at home. I made my mom's birthday cake. My first German Chocolate cake.
Saturday was my mom's birthday. I cleaned for Nan a bit in the morning and then came home and got ready. We picked up my mom and met Amy, Erik, Simon & Vera at the Eastman Nature Center for their Maple Syrup Festival. It was pretty cool. We learned how maple syrup is made and got to observe the process and then try some and it was pretty damn tasty! Then we played for a bit and the kids did an obstacle course. We went to Amy & Erik's house after for dinner. Nan, Pop, Cathy, Rob, Brooke and Dylan came for dinner. We ate and hung out for a bit and then came home. Rob and the kids came over too for a slumber party.
Yesterday morning we had a big breakfast and then the Kraemer's had to head out. I did some shopping and then took the kids to the Oneka Open Gym time. We played there for 2 hours. Running and jumping in the bounce house and riding trikes and sliding and more! They slept for 12 hours last night :P There was a lady there though that kind of pissed me off. She wasn't watching her kids at all and her oldest kept crashing into us with his trike. She totally saw it a few times too and didn't do anything.
Today I need to thoroughly clean the house and paint mine and Keira's nails. I really wanted to do mine last night but I decided to wait since I have so much cleaning to do today. I LOVE my new nail polish. Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure is the best nail polish I have ever used! I really does dry fast and it lasts for like 4-5 days before I see any major chips!
I got Wine Not for Christmas and then just the other day bought Plum Luck. I had Plum Luck on and Keira said she wanted her nails done too. I did them Wednesday morning before we went swimming and I only did one coat. The chlorine in the pool took a lot of it off. That afternoon though I re-did them and put 2 coats and it has been on ever since. It's definitely chipping a lot so we need to redo them today.
I want more colors! I looked at CVS yesterday but they're charging like $8 for them! Walmart has them for like $5 so I'll wait until the next time I'm there.
So Keira is finally over her diarrhea and back in undies. She's been on track now for a few days and even wakes up dry so we let her sleep in undies last night! She usually sleeps in undies for naps but we were holding off on bedtime. She has been waking up dry for a while now so we decided to give it a try.
I ordered an extended battery for my phone. It should be here early this week. I have to charge my phone every night and I don't even use it that much! I've read a few articles about ways to minimize battery usage but still......I really would like it to hold a charge for more than a day. My last phone would last a week. Obviously that was different because I didn't have internet and games on it. It's pretty annoying how many apps seem to just up and run on there own without my starting them out. I can't seem to find anyway to stop that other than to uninstall them.
Time to get crackin! My sister and the kids are coming over now so it looks like I'm not going to get as much cleaning done as I had planned. Oh well :)
