Yesterday we went downtown to get our passports. We were told the wait could be about 2 hours, so I was prepared with snacks and a few toys for the kids (we had the 3 youngest with us). It turns out we were in and out of there in 15 minutes or less...AWESOME!! Now all of the big things are done for going out to the wedding, now to focus on the smaller details. I finished my taxes the other night as well. What a relief it is to get those types of things out of the way. PHEW!

Not a ton to say today. We had Catcher's friend Angelo over to play in the morning. After we dropped them off to school, Maiya, Tyson and I headed over to Charity's house to hang out for the afternoon. Maiya and Presley obviously had a blast together as usual, but the surprising ones were Tyson and Elle. They played together the whole time. I really didn't think Tyson would be very interested in playing with Elle because she's still so little, but it looks like she is growing up a little and they had a blast playing and getting into mishief together (eg. emptying the dirt out of Charity's plant....oh dear!) It was a gorgeous day outside, so we also played outside on the bikes and in Charity's playhouse. I took Reese and Presley home with me to play for a little bit while Drayton was at his guitar lessons. Oh....and Tyson let "Fluffy" out of his cage again (the hamster). Catcher yelled upstairs from the basement that Fluffy was hiding behind the couch....then he ran out and Tyson covered him with a blanket. Kaitlyn came to my rescue and grabbed him and put him back into his cage. It's so sad that I can't handle picking up a small rodent.

Today was pet cage cleaning day. So Kaitlyn cleaned out the gerbils cage. We almost had some escapees once again. I don't know how I will ever survive, considering I am freaked out when it comes to small rodents....or even large ones for that matter. Grant went on a much needed grocery trip. My poor children were starting to get really creative with their school lunches, haha!
