Jillian had ice skating from 9-11 again today. She started learning her axel jump! She is really excited! The boys played with all the other siblings while we were at the rink. They always find something to do while they pass the time there.
Today was Chick fil a customer appreciation day! If you dressed up like a cow of some sort you got a free meal. The kids wanted to do it. We'll two of them wanted to, my 9 year old thought he was too cool to do it. The website had a printout costume. Basically some ears, a nose, and some spots, and a tail that they could wear. We went to our favorite Chick fil A, and ate for a bit less than usual. The kids thought it was cool! There were several in there dressed up...including adults!
We all went bowling after lunch for a few hours. We had to get back home after bowling so I could get the boy's packed to go to friend's houses to spend the night. Jillian got a night with Mom and Dad out on the town. We took her to her favorite restaurant to eat Mexican. She loves cheese dip and fajitas. We were planning on going to the $1 movies to see Hannah Montanta, but we ran a little behind at the restaurant and she opted for going to the mall clothes shopping. Which I am not sure made Michael any happier. He really didn't want to tag along with us to see that particular movie, but at least then he would be sitting down. Instead we drug him for over 2 hours through the mall. Jillian loves clothes and wants to try on everything. She is very picky about her clothes though! We are going to be in trouble when she becomes a teenager. She decided on several outfits, one in which she already said was going to be her first day of school outfit. We went to 2 different Wal-Marts after the mall. She wanted to make a blanket. The Wal-Mart we usually shop at didn't have a fabric section any longer. So we went 10 miles up the street to the next Wal-mart. Finally she picked out some fabric. It was so late when we got home that we put that project down for maybe later Saturday. Her last request for the evening was spa night. She loves lighting the candles, drinking out of fancy glasses and sitting in the jacuzzi. So we ran the water for her and got her all fixed up! She went to bed happy, except for the fact that she wanted to sleep in our bed with us. Which I have never been able to sleep when the kids are in our bed. She didn't argue but a second and went on to her bed. She was really tired, and we were too.
With 3 kids it is hard to get that individual time with them. We love doing things together as a family but it is great when we can divide up and do some one on one things together too.
