Today was the first busy day we've had in a really long time. It's been soo hott outside and so hard to take the kids anywhere. Then everyday I think I want to go do something, there's a crazy heat advisory and I don't want to take the kids out in it. But today Timmy suprised me and took us to DQ for lunch! It was so fun! The kids were so cute and so good for me :) I LOVED watching them sit in the seats and spin..I was a little worried the twins wouldn't do well because there were no high chairs. But they sat in the chairs just like big kids. I thought Max..of course being my wildest child ever would run all around the place, but he hardly tried to even get out of his chair. Mady was actually the more wild one, but she was still really good. Max ate a ton of food. He loved when I handed my ice cream over to him and let him go at it with his own spoon..it was adorable! Mikhail and Makenna were loving it! They had hott dogs and got to have thier own ice cream. Mikhail had strawberry and Makenna chose chocolate. I really love that they choose thier own flavors and don't just get what the other one's getting. But it was a really fun lunch :) We were planning to take the kids to creekwalk..but Tim had to work..so we had to go :( I had planned to take the kids back after the babies had a nap..but it just didn't happen. So I walked with Mikhail and Makenna to Chapelfield to let them play on the playground..Mikhail got to ride his bike which made his day. Tim drove the babies down to the park and met us there. When Max got out of the van his expression was priceless! He was so happy to be there, so was Madelyn! We played until it got dark and it was the best family time ever. It's been a really long time since we've all gotten out and had some fun together like that. We used to do it all the time when Mikhail was little and when Makenna was little..but once we had the twins, life just got a lot busier and we haven't been doing it as often as we should. It was a lot of fun..and I want to do it a lot more before the weather gets too cold to do it any more. It's still really hard to believe that there's only one week left of the summer. On Monday I'm going to start getting into the school routine with them. I'm going to get up early and get breakfast and get them all dressed and take them to the Y every day of the week to start getting ready for having to wake up and get the big kids ready for school. Ahhh I remember when my parents used to do that to my brother and I..and now I finally understand it!
