April Vacation - day 4 // Thankful Thursday

The day started out so well ... Stacey is visiting from out of town and she wanted to go see my favorite scrapbook store - the one I always rave about. So off we went. There is a nice grassy area outside the store so we took turns - one would shop while the other watched all 6 kids (my 2, Stacey's 3 and her nephew) - it was so much easier than taking all those kids in a store where we'd be saying 'stop that, don't touch that!'.

I was a good girl. I only spent $10 - and only bought things for the pages that I am currently working on. That store is so addictive that you have to have a plan going in there or you will be overwhelmed and want to buy everything!

The next plan was to take the kids to a nice playground since they had patiently waited while we shopped. But Hannah started to go downhill. She wasn't feeling well. We stopped for a quick lunch and she wouldn't even order anything to eat. Stacey said you know she's not feeling well if she won't even eat! So we had to skip the park so they could go home. The kids were bummed and I was too since we didn't get enough time with our friends. I still wish they lived here!

So the girls and I headed home and they played outside at home. Stacey called later and said Hannah was sick all afternoon. Poor girl! (Hopefully my kids stay healthy!)

All in all it was still a good day. The sun was shining again, the weather was beautiful, and we had a fun day.

Thankful Thursday - somehow Thursdays just slip by me so quickly. I always forget to log what I'm thankful for!
This week I am so thankful for this beautiful, sunny weather we've had all week. It's made the whole week so enjoyable!
I'm also thankful for Stacey and her kids. Even though they live far away now, when they come to visit it's like we were never apart - the kids have so much fun - the Moms have so much fun - it's wonderful!
