perfect day??

I had the perfect day planned out today. Pete went to work and I was going to take the kids out Letterboxing. We love to go, it is our new activity we like to do as a family. It is really fun and we feel like we are detectives/explorers! Anyway, I found out there was a letterbox at the park with the cement slides everyone has been going to and that there was another one at Maidu park. So we were going to go to the cement slide park, then out for some Sonic drinks, then to the Maidu park. O.k., I dont know if it was just me today, but none of it worked out! It was so frustrating. We couldn't find the box at the first park (although the kids loved the slides!) and then the box at Maidu was so far from where we parked we had to turn back and give up. It was so disappointing. But at least we got our slushes - I love the lemonberry sonic! I am determined to try again - we will find the boxes!

S was so happy today because she got to trade in some presents for a new Webkinz pet. She LOVES her webkinz! Grandma had to talk her into getting one at the beginning of the summer and now she is an addict. She gets on the phone with her friends and talks to them on the phone while she plays against them on the computer. It makes me laugh. It is amazing to me how well she can navigate through the site and can figure things out on the computer!

Today was also the first day of soccer and the first day of a busy schedule for us. It is T's first season for soccer and his practices start at 3:45 two times a week. Then S starts her practice at 5:30 two-three times a week. So that means we have soccer from 3:45 - 7:00 twice a week! They were both so happy to have it starting, especially T, it is finally his turn to be involved in all of the things his sister has done.



Oh, and today is the first day we got H's hair all the way into a ponytail! She looks so dang cute and so old!
