a perfect day





Wow.

Such an awesome day to be a Thoreson. Sarah slept in until 8:43. Yay! And it was Rob's day off, so we were all sleeping in and that is the perfect start to any day off. Then she came bursting into our room with hugs and kisses. We snuggle for a bit and then let her know that we decided to take her to Chuckie Cheese's today to celebrate her birthday rather than Thursday evening. Such a smart decision on our part.
So we got up and lazily got going, we made it to the pizza joint about ten minutes to eleven. It was perfect, there was literally one other child there and a grandparent. It was amazing. Now, you have to understand that I *hate* Chuckie Cheese as a rule because it's generally such a cesspool of germs and uncleanliness. But, at 11am the place is clean and quiet. We really enjoyed ourselves until almost one pm, when I noticed a child on a ride whose arms and legs were covered in what appeared to be chicken pox. We grabbed the kids and left. Obviously.
This afternoon Comcast came and FINALLY finished installing my home phone. Praise God. I am so excited to be a real person again with a phone! Now if they will just come and fix my mold problem!
This afternoon I ran some errands, finding some great clearance items at CVS for the pool. So of course, when I got home we had to take em out and test them! So we went to the bath, er, i mean pool. But it feels like bathwater when it's been over a hundred degrees for a week straight. Then Rob grilled up some burgers for supper. It was just a great day.
Exciting things on my mind??

1.) Sarah turns three on Thursday. Wow. We put together her big gift tonight. A dollhouse. She's pretty much going to lose her mind over it!

2.) I tried skeet ball for the first time about three weeks ago with some of our students and I loved it!

3.) Tomorrow is library day at our house. yay! and actually, registration day for Eli for school!

So, it's a big week at our house. School starts two weeks from today and both my kids are pretty psyched!
