Our week has been with many goodbyes. Jayla left us this week to go back home because she's starting school on Monday. We miss her so much and since we dropped her off (on Wednesday), Xander has been asking why Jayla went home and "what we gonna do bout Jayla now, mommy?" The two days prior we played in the water.
On Monday, we headed to the shopping center's splash pad. It's small, not crowded, and we love it.
water + sun = one tired kid!
After getting home we attempted naps, but when that didn't pan out, we headed out front to ride bikes
And Xander was having a blast chasing the girls
Tuesday morning, the kids and I had to be up, dressed and out the door by 645. Yes, 645...man, was that an early day! We had an appointment to get a hitch installed on the new car so we can carry our bikes
Kids were ready for the hour+ wait and all good sports about it
I love Xander's concentrating face!
Tuesday after lunch we headed to the cousins to swim at their community pool. This picture was after swimming so everyone's a mess!
On Wednesday morning, we were up and out the door by 730 to take this beauty to the airport. Because she travels as an unaccompanied minor we had to go to her gate with her...then wait until her plane was in the air before we could leave.
We're going to miss our grumpy 8 year old!

This little girl was sad. She teared up, pulled up her dress and said "don't look". She does not like when people watch her being upset. I don't blame her, I don't either.
Yesterday and today, we have kept our days simple. One outing planned. Yesterday, we headed to the laundromat to wash our comforter, then to Target to pick up diapers. Today, we desperately needed to do some grocery shopping, so I braved the kids and the store and got it done. I do not enjoy taking the kids grocery shopping. They behaved well today, but I don't see many more shopping dates with them.
I was accepted into the University of Toledo Early Childhood Education graduate program. I start on Monday and will be taking 4 classes. Busy times are ahead.
