Busy, busy, busy

The kids and I were out and about all day yesterday, thus the lack of blogging.

As soon as Alexa got up from her morning nap, we headed to Aunt Molly's house. Her car was in the shop, so she was stuck home for the day. We got the kiddos changed and headed to the pool. Caleb was being really brave and even got down off the steps once he figured out that he could touch the bottom. We enjoyed a picnic lunch at the pool, and Caleb played with the water fountain until Mommy stopped him because it was leaking everywhere.

Then we headed back to Aunt Molly's house and hung out while Alexa napped and Caleb had quiet time, after which he got out every pot and bowl in Molly's kitchen to play with. She's such a patient Aunt with all the messes my children make all over her house.

Anyway, once Alexa got up, off to Target we went. I got 15 bottles of Joint Juice, 2 air fresheners and a book for Caleb for around $2. I dropped Molly off at the Honda dealership and then the kiddos and I went home.

After unpacking all the random paraphernalia required for taking 2 kids to the pool, we went out for pizza for dinner one last time just the four of us before our exchange student comes on Saturday.

Finally, after the kids were bathed, snacked, and in bed, I ran to Kroger and Publix to sneak in my grocery shopping without the kids. I saved right around 50% at both stores, which is really good considering I got a full week of groceries (as opposed to just hitting the deals), including milk, meat, fresh fruits and veggies, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream (a definite necessity).

On the agenda for today once Alexa wakes up is another consignment sale and the library. We'll probably play outside, too, since it is supposed to be cooler today.
