Anyway, enough complaining and on to better things! Today was a nice day. The weather was pleasant, and the breeze was blowing. It was nice to be outside for a while, and the kids had a great time. We went to Central Winds park today, and started off on a new massive play structure. It was cool, but made for children age 5 and up, so poor Aiden was incredibly frustrated because he couldn't do much... so we played there for a while, and then everyone was kind enough to go over to the smaller play structure so Aiden could be a part of things. Since I could relax a bit more, I was able to take some shots at the smaller play area... Aiden found a girlfriend during that time. She just couldn't resist hugging and kissing him, and then they worked the slide together a few times. It was pretty funny.
Here's Anna pushing Aiden on the swing

Afterward we went to lunch and Anna ate a whole pack of Apple Wedges.. (very unlike her). She considered this her "new food" of the day... which is sketchy because she's eaten apple many times before. But.. who was I to argue when she was EATING APPLE! Right? :) I was really proud of her, and she asked that I take a picture to show Daddy.

Eating her apple!
Bedtime is fun in our house. It's very much a ritual that the kids look forward to each night. One part of it is that Anna asks Will or I to read her a story, while Aiden listens, and then while Anna climbs in bed and looks over a book independently, we read Aiden his story and put him to bed. Then we go in and say goodnight to Anna, and lights out.
I LOVE this picture... they were talking about the story....
What a happy boy!
Tonight, Anna got ready for bed, and closed her door because she said she had a surprise. When she was ready for us to come in, she showed us this lovely family picture she drew. That's Anna, Me, and Will and Will is holding Aiden. Take notice if you will of the height difference between Will and I. Pretty accurate? heehee...
It was another "on program" day for me of Weight Watchers, and I did my Pilates...so I feel goooood! I had lots of points left, so I rewarded myself with one of my favorites things - Jeremiah's Italian Ice. YUMMMM! If you live in Orlando, and haven't try Jeremiah's yet, GO!! It's amazing and not that bad for you (unless you have them add ice cream to it). I personally love the Scoop Froggy Frog flavor (mint choc. chip). Good stuff!
Okay, that's all I've got for tonight.
Nighty night all!
Love, Holly
