We had a very full day yesterday. In the morning, we ran errands for a couple of hours, including picking up some baby items from a LLL mom who was passing them on, choosing some new posters for the playroom, and grabbing a few groceries.
In the afternoon, we went with L. and her kids to an animal show at the local library. We saw an African millipede, a red-kneed tarantula and a scorpion; a tree frog and a toad; two tortoises, a skink and a tegu; two baby ball pythons, a king snake and an albino python; and a coatimundi. I don’t think I’ve left anyone out… The presenter was good - full of energy and interaction. He had lots of interesting information and shared it in an entertaining way. Several kids got chances to hold and pet the animals and they were all very excited. L. and I talked later about having this presenter come to her house to do a presentation for our homeschool group.
We took the kids out to eat and then back to L.’s house for climbing (JediBoy made it all the way to the top of the fort for the first time), woods-exploring, dirt-shoveling, cat-chasing, Wii-playing fun.
Naturally, JediBoy melted down as we were leaving, because of course 7 1/2 hours with his friends wasn’t enough. He fell asleep on the way home but unfortunately woke up as we were getting him out of the van, and then he was wide awake and fighting sleep until 10.
This morning, we’ve already been out collecting breakfast…
