So my house is situated in a pretty sweet location. we can walk to Church, we can walk to school, we can walk to the doctor, dentist, Chinese, hallmark, dollar general. it's called Crestwood Station and to me it is a run down forgotten strip mall. the Chinese place is a great find though; fried rice any time i want. so the kids and i walk pretty often to the doctor and the dollar general store. cards for 50 cent! well today mom, me, and the kids walked over to the school to turn in paper work (school starts in a week!!!) and then over to dollar general to get dishwasher detergent. we were almost there and the black clouds were rolling in fast! we shopped fast and tried to hurry the kids along. brilee and brayland were on their bikes which i intended would make the trip a littler speedier. and the rain began. i held amdon so he would get soaked while laying down. we ran for shelter and knew what was coming -- we were going to get drenched. And i was having a really good hair day; i actually decided to do my hair. we head out into the big droplets. brilee's riding super fast so i told mom to keep up with her while i stayed with brayland. brayland has reach his tricycle's top speed. which is my walking speed-backwards. i had to walk backwards for the most of it because the wind was blowing it hard in the direction we were walking. poor amdon was wet, cold and having a hard time breathing with the wind in his face. i held him close. i actually tried putting him under my shirt but that didn't work out to well. ya know, at first we were all moaning about our situation and then i thought "if i were 8 i would be having a blast out here!" so i started talking to brayland about how fun it was to jump in the puddles and ride his bike through the little rivers. we started laughing and having a good time in our "shower". we made it home and here we are.
and Amdon fell asleep!
and this is brilee's new hair cut!!!!! just this weekend i was thinking about how beautiful her hair was. it was staying over to the side; it was really beautiful. and she says she cut her hair because she wasn't allowed in my room (i was still sleeping -thanks mom.) to put a barrette in her hair so she just cut them! and school starts and there is school pictures....ugh. oh, but the fun memories.
