This Weekend

Saturday, Jarad had to work. The kids and I hung out at home. We played with Maggie and Hunter swung and slid down the slide a lot. He also rode his tricycle a lot; inside, outside, on the driveway, in the grass, anywhere he could take it. He even tried taking it up the stairs. We kicked a kickball around in the yard until I got attacked by fire ants while trying to keep Hunter out of them. It's really cute watching Hunter kick a ball. Saturday evening we went to McDonald's to let Hunter get a Happy Meal and play. He only ate the apples and drank the apple juice. He didn't want anything to do with the nuggets and fries. He really didn't want to play on the equipment much in the play area either, he just run around in circles, which was nice since you know all that equipment is really dirty. Then we went to Hobby Lobby and then Wal-Mart. Today, Jarad ran 13.25 miles. Then he spent the rest of the day complaining about how bad he hurt. I started making the kids' Halloween costumes. Hayden is going to be a kangaroo and Hunter is going to be an orange crayon. The kids took a nap and Jarad and I watched Dr. Charles Stanley on tv preach about anger. Jarad filled the sandbox on the play set with sand. Then I went and ran 5 miles. (I know, it's not near as far as Jarad ran.) I went grocery shopping by myself. I bought some pumpkins. Hunter is fascinated with the big orange "balls." Then we watched tv with Hunter. Nothing exciting happened but I love spending time with my family, even if it's doing ordinary things.
