Daddy saves the day...

It had been one of those days. Call it a Monday. Call it what you like. You know those days, where you are about to pull your hair out because your kids are of course "purposefully" trying everything possible to make you go insane. In the past week Ana had drawn all over her legs with marker, put tooth paste on her body like lotion, got my lipstick and put it all over her face, and yesterday spilled red (yes red) yogurt all over the couch and living room floor...just to name a few. And to clarify, it's not as though she is being unsupervised. These things are happening in about a 30 second time span when she is left so I can put something away in another room or go to the bathroom. I love my kids, love my kids, but yesterday was definitely trying.

Thankfully, daddy came to the rescue and changed everyone's perspective about the day. He said after dinner we were all going to go take an adventure. We all got loaded in the car and drove down to the Levee, a fun touristy outdoor area with lots of restaurants, street performers, aquarium, and the Purple People Bridge. We hadn't been there in forever and it might have been Ana's first time down there. Both the girls thought we were just going to the park, so they were especially surprised as well. We got Cold Stone ice cream, watched this Hamster Water Ball thing (and if we had cash I might have let Isabel do it, it looked like so much fun), and walked the Purple People Bridge. So much fun all for a mere $4.00 ($2 for parking and $2 for ice cream).

It was a fun family evening! I'm so grateful for our family! I'm so grateful for my loving husband!
