Relaxation and Sleep Needed

We had such a busy past couple of days. We had went to the waterpark Thursday and Friday, and then went to the fourth celebration on Saturday. Today we all slept in and just had a lazy day! I cooked a big breakfast this morning. We'll it was more like brunch. We had scrambled eggs, cheese toast, grape jelley toast, cinnamon toast, sausage, and cheese grits. The kids played around the house. They spent several hours of the day playing yahtzee. I spent some time trying to catch up on laundry.

We ran to Buck Creek to try and retrieve Preston's football that we lost last night at the 4th celebration. It got hung up in some brush by the creek, but it was so dark we couldn't find it last night. We went back to see if we could get it, if not we were headed to Wal-Mart to get a replacement. We went to the creek, couldn't get it at first. We tried sticks and rocks. We headed to Wal-Mart. Why they love that Nerf football when they play with a real football is beyond me, but they love playing around with it. Wal-Mart didn't carry the same version of the Nerf football. The one they had was cheaper made and was not going to last anytime. We told the kids we would check Toys R Us tomorrow but we would go back to Buck Creek and see later today if his football had dropped any due to the rain.

We fished with some friends for awhile in Riverwoods. We caught some bass, and brim. Strong winds and rain moved in so we packed up. The kids wanted to ride back down the street to Buck Creek and see if the rain brought the football down any. It had, and Michael then was able to go in the creek and play HERO. We had eaten our left over ribs and food from yesterday around 3 today, so we decided to pick up pizza for a light supper and call it a day. We came home and ate our pizza on the back deck as it continued to sprinkle. It was relaxing just sitting out and listening to the rain. We had promised the kids one more game of yahtzee before bed tonight, so we ended the day with a game of yahtzee that I thought was never going to end.
