Great (but exhausting) day!

Had a really good day today, despite the fact that I'm exhausted from our night on the town last night. :o)

Went to my aunt's this morning. Bunch of my family there. The girls LOVE their cousin Kirsten and their Grammy. I love watching the way they interact with people. Listening to their conversations is the best. We just played and played. When I told Becca she could go in the backyard to play I though she was going to explode. She was so excited, "WE CAN GO IN THE BACKYARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (I think we're all ready for spring.:o)

We all packed up for a walk in Callahan State Park. We wanted the kids to be able to wander freely and just run around. Strangely enough when we pulled up to the parking lot there were many police officers. Seems there was a grenade??????? found in the woods. They were getting ready to detonate it???????? Needless to say, we found a new park.

The park we found was great. HUGE open fields and lots of mud! :o) We ran and played and walked and threw the ball - all under the sunshine. I LOVE SPRING!!!! I also love watching my girls laugh. It's magical. They love each other and practically everything around them. They make me incredibly happy. :o)

Hit McDonald's for lunch (Becca's second favorite restaurant), then home for a (much needed nap). We all slept for two hours. (I slept so well that I dreamed I heard the doorbell ring. Turns out my friend Chris came looking to go for a walk, so I DID hear the doorbell ring. Too bad I never answered...:o(

Tonight we went to my school's skate night. Lots of kids that I've taught, most wearing rental skates and wobbling around anxiously. It was great fun to see them all and especially see their smiles. They were very excited to see the girls. The girls were in awe of them. Becca did great skating! She even skated by herself for a while. My back will take a while to recover, but I'm so glad we went.

So like I said - a great day! Although I have to say, I hope tomorrow isn't so great. I think I'd like to stay home and rest. :o)
