Today was one of those days. School has become routine, evenings are filled with homework and planning for the next day. Today we surprised the kids and picked them up and headed out for ice cream and some putt putt golf! We've never taken them golfing before and frankly, I can see why we put it off. The kids lost many balls, had a hard time making it through 18 holes, the score was never kept, and it was exhausting keeping Zane on track! But in the end, while tucking them in and talking about our day, it was all of their favorite parts and they were excited to write about it in their class journals. For me it wasn't a calm outing, it was a bit stressful, but their stories and smiles made it all worth it!
On Sunday we hit up a local tractor show. The weather was less than favorable, with frequent downpours and cold wind. The kids complained a bit, but the draw of the many tractors, bounce house, cotton candy, and sawdust treasure hunt kept them busy and a lot of the complaints at bay!
