Today was yet another cleaning day. The house gets messy unbelievably fast. It's tough to keep up. You'd think with 3 of the kids being in school that it wouldn't get so messy, but it does. Oh well, the kids are getting older and are able to help a lot more. Catcher and Maiya and Tyson are pretty good when they are home. They have their share of messes for sure, but they pretty much entertain themselves in the day, so it can be relaxing (as well as Tysons nap time, yay)
After school the kids played outside riding their bikes with friends. It's nice to see that they are wanting to go outside again. It doesn't happen as often in the winter. When Grant got home from work he took McKenna and Damian to the open house at their school where the kids get to show off their work that they've been doing. Damian was showing colour changes with dye and a dropper in the above photo. McKenna is at her desk and was showing her art and tests etc. They were very proud. After Grant got home I went out grocery shopping. It was 7:30pm and it took me until 10pm to finish. I don't really like going at night. I get tired doing it then. Also when I walked through the parking lot to my van, it felt like the perfect night to get mugged. It was very dark, I had parked near the doors that they ended up closing at 9pm (they also shut off the parking lot lights on that side) so I got to walk through a deserted, dark parking lot on an extremely foggy night. I couldn't help but keep thinking of the movie "I am Legend" when all of the diseased mutated people come after you after dark, lol. I watch too many of those types of shows, hahaha!!! Grant and I just kicked back and watched The Simpsons after that.
