So much fun today!

Our day started early! We went to breakfast at Jim's. It's been too long and I really wanted to see Joni and catch her up on the happenings of our life. Kris met us there and it was really fun and I think I stayed longer then I ever have before. Joni was as crazy as ever! She always gives Flower quarters to get a plastic egg filled with a toy from the machine. It wasn't working. Well, Joni took care of that! She shook it and then hit it and it shattered! Oops. It was funny and she surprised herself. Yikes.
Breakfast was yummy as usual. It's the ONLY place I will eat French toast!
Then we went to Kris' house. I have been wanting to watch Pete's Dragon with Flower. I got it from my mom and then took it over there to utilize the VCR. Flower loved it!
She was glued! Her mouth hung open for the better part of the hour. And the fact that she was so entertained that she was forgetting about her beloved M&M's was a shock! She talks about those M&M's all the way up the hill to their house. They are very important to her. And since she knows two Kris', this one is distinctly known as M&M's Kris, which Flower made up herself to keep them straight. (The other one is Ice Cream Chis because he lived above an ice cream shop. silly kid!)

I love her little hands! As she watched they became tighter and tighter. She finally realized I had been taking photos of her and looked at me so sweetly. :)
Before we left Kris saved the day and sewed a new button on Flower's skirt. She got to pick out the button! She made me take a photo! We only watched about an hour of the movie before we were on our way to our next adventure.
We went to Elm Grove Park. We didn't take advantage of the free lunch since we ate breakfast late. However, we both had fun playing with our friends! I enjoyed the company of Sara and Audie. Flower played with Jovie, Madeline and Sydney.
Sydney took such good care of her and was pushing her and Madeline on the swings.




Sweet Oakley and her cute Mamma.They wore Flower out because she fell asleep as soon as we got home!
Later when we were at the clubhouse we played in the puddles in the gutter. :)










There was also some running through the sprinklers after that. So much fun! It required new, dry outfits. We did this while KG was 'fixing' the clubhouse computers. Not sure how long they can be fixed since total morons use them!
Then I went on a bike ride(with the bike I just borrowed from my mom...thanks mom!) and picked up our dinner. Man I need to do that more. It whooped my ass. My fanny hurt so bad! I also made the mistake of going on an empty stomach and didn't take any water. It was now almost 8:00 and I hadn't eaten since breakfast except an apple. By the time I got to the restaurant I was red faced and begging for water. I drank two full glasses. I pretty much wanted nothing to do with the food by the time I got home and was on the verge of puking for the next hour and fighting the shakes. Nice. Can hardly wait to get back on tomorrow! :) I actually do really like to ride a bike. It just takes a bit for your butt to forgive you and get used to the seat. Consistency will be key for that to happen! I enjoyed watching I Survived A Japanese Game Show with KG and Flower before she went to bed and he went to work. It's still funny!
I'm really excited about my Thursday and hope yours is wonderful. Now I'm off to watch the finale of the Baby Borrows and then Project Runway!! Love that show!
