This weekend we were suppose to go to Cheekwood botanical gardens to see their train exhibit. It's been going on for a couple months and goes through December, but someone gave us free tickets that expire June 30th. It is $12 per an adult and none of us are really in to seeing the flowers, so free tickets are right up our alley. All week the weather said the weekend would be nice so we had planned a morning there with a lunchtime picnic. On Saturday we woke up to rain so decided to postpone it until Sunday. Now guess what happened? Yup, it rained a lot! So Monday we decided that I would take the kids and Scott was gonna meet us for maybe an hour to see how the kids liked the trains. Cheekwood is only 14 minutes from Scott's work, but about 40 minutes from home. I got the kids all packed up and headed down. We were about 5 minutes from getting there and Scott calls me and asked where I am. I told him and with a little chuckle he says "Did you check their website?" "No, why?" "Well they are closed Mondays." Then he told me "Maybe you weren't meant to take the kids there." Well I will be damned if I am not going to get those kids there. Thursday is the 30th (the last day of the coupon) and it is supposed to be sunny so we will be there. But you know what? Even if it's pouring down rain I'm taking those kids there to see the trains! I'm a very determined mama!
Reagan's recital from vacation bible school on Sunday was so cute. She was so excited to be on stage and sing and dance the songs they learned. We video taped it for her and she has loved watching it. Somehow I think this may be her calling in life to entertain. :-)
Today (Tuesday) Grant was suppose to have school, but last night while we were sleeping there was a bunch of storms. Reagan ended up in bed with us, Grant cried every time the power flickered, and Keisha (the dog) couldn't quit whining. So I let everyone sleep in today. We were gonna go to the Y, but Grant was extra grouchy all morning. So we just had a lazy tv day at home. The kids were pretty excited since we hadn't had one for awhile. After nap we headed to the Y for the pool and a run. An hour and a half at the pool wore them out. After dinner Grant asked to be put in his playpen (which is where he goes for a time out) so he could lie down.
So here's hoping we can make it to Cheekwood on Thursday and everyone wakes up in a good mood tomorrow!
