Crazy week

We started out the week with Martin Luther King Jr. Day.  The kids and I met friends at the park and played all morning.  The kids had a great time.  Evan has played at parks his whole life and is very confident at climbing and sliding.  I know other Mom's are looking out for him, but they really worry when I allow him to climb and play as he pleases.  They always try to hold his hand or help him down a slide when he loves and can do it by himself.  ha ha

On Wednesday disaster struck when I heard terrible noises in the middle of the night.  I was nervous to get up and check it out so I just listened and didn't hear anything else so finally went back to sleep.  Michael was in Arizona.  I woke up to find the fish tank pump was broken and I had 10 gallons of water on my floor.  All the fish died.  I was so sad.  I felt awful telling Michael too. :(

If it is sunny and warm my kids are almost always outside.  They request dinner outdoors whenever possible.  I love that about them!

On this day they wanted to sleep outside, but I only let them pretend sleep out there.  :)
