Scott and I actually didn't wake up until 9am this morning; SCORE! It's amazing when you actually get enough hours of sleep, lol. Anyway, after dragging ourselves out of bed, I went and picked up the kids at my parents' house, while Scott stayed home to take a shower and then study. When I got to my parents' house, the kids were outside with my mom, playing in the backyard. Jeff was having a ball following Buddy around the yard (Buddy is my brother's black Lab); so much so that he didn't bother to tell me hi.
I let the kids play for awhile (Jeff refused to come in), while I ate some pancakes. I think it got a bit too cold outside, because after awhile they came back inside, so I gathered them all together to go home. At first Jeff didn't want to go without Tutu, but once he saw the front door was open, he gladly made a break for it, lol.
We later ate lunch at Carl's Jr, where the kids played for a bit in the playground; in between bites of lunch, of course. Jeff demolished half of his hamburger in less than five minutes, then wanted to go back to playing. Ethan was caught between his food and playing, so he made a trip back to the table every so often. And Ryan just sat with me and we ordered some ,milkshakes to slurp while we played a game from the kids' combo meal.
And now, we have to decide whether or not to get a cat. Apparently, we have mice in our house and they've been running free for the last few weeks. I saw one run into the laundry room on Saturday, and another one ran over my legs as I cleaned out the refrigerator today. Freaky! So we're thinking of getting a cat. But, it has to be a cat that's older, housetrained, good with kids and doesn't mind having a dog around. Are there cats like that out there? I hope so!
