Friday we dressed like cows for Chick-fil-A appreciation day and got FREE meals. The Rays mascot was handing out glasses, helmets, cups and stickers. The like him and the cows. Then we went to the pool via Thora's house since it was raining but it passed and off to the Elks pool. We headed out on the boat with 3 adults and 6 kids and what an adventure we had out on the water. After launching the boat we went out to see the Skyway Bridge and along the way we saw dolphins. As we got closer a cool turtle made an appearance, so neat. We stayed to see him again but we scared him away. I drove to the island from the bridge, my first time driving fast and for a long distance, I did alright. At the beach the boys took turns with cast nets, took a swim and played in the rain. Yes it spitted on us for about an hour but no one noticed since we were already wet. They caught pin fish, zebra and minnows. Johnathen caught a small in the cast net, we think they were unfortunately in the wrong spot because he is still learning to throw the pizza. Johnathen brought the boat threw the canal to the dock, the curvy way. Once the boat was cleaned by the crew they got cleaned themselves and headed to kids night out for dinner and fun. Everyone loved it and brought many art projects home with them. Sunday Chris and I took the kids to breakfast at Lenny's our Clearwater joint were the balloon guy is known to create some cool stuff. Caleb got a red dragon hat, Dayne got a monkey on a tree hat, Johnathen got a shark had and Eagan got a fishing pole hat while Felicia got a small pink flower. After that we came home for socks so we could go bowling, Johnathen won with 107. After that Chris helped the kids make pizza at the house. Each one was a masterpiece. Chris had to leave for the airport, so Felicia and I dropped him off at 5pm, when I got back I took 4 of them to the park since it was breezy out for July. Dayne and Johnathen raced once at the park and Eagan tried to keep up but fell behind. Now that the baths are done I hope bed time is soon to come. I think mom needs it since she had been sick since last night but I hope she enjoyed diner at Johny Rockets and the movie Hancock. We let her rest today.
I bet you didn't expect her to fall asleep during lunch, pizza but she did.
We had cupcakes for dessert tonight and some of them got a little messy. Can you guess who it might be? Dayne and Felicia, not the 2 you thought.
What a day, it started like others me going to the store for last minute party stuff and Chris stayed home. We split the kids in 1/2, I took 2 & 4 he had 1 & 3, I got a deal that day. I got home and undid the groceries, many BOGO this week saved over 50% of my bill. Anyway Caleb had many ideas already, go in the garage and work on wood but couldn't get in Chris told him I had the key. Lied just didn't want to go in and work, his other ideas were build a regatta ship, go to the park and cast net and a few other I can't remember now. We laughed at he told me all this. After a good laugh we loaded everyone up and went to crisp park to cast net. Chris threw and after I tried a few failed attempts yet still caught fish Caleb finally tried and did well. Eagan played ball with a border collie named Meg, Dayne did also. We had snacks and went to do errands. I returned a stroller so I could use coupons, which bought 2 pairs of PJ for Felicia thank you saved $14, yeah. Chris exchanged a ratchet at Sears then went and got fishing line supplies at the boat store. At home we got ready to go to a party at a friends house, the kids swam, eat and had fun. Later we changed and put the boat on the suburban and headed to maximo launch for the fireworks at St Pete beach. WOW!! everyone loved it, Felicia in her PJ's and life vest pointed at the lights and talked. It was one of those great moments you take in because each person is happy and that is had with a large family. I call them zen family moments, we have so many of them that it really makes me feel blessed. I hope everyone else had a great holiday.
He is back to his old ways again. The boy was so tired he fell asleep in the tub, yes I was watching him and as he lay floating the eyes got heavy and off he went. He has been so tired that he is asleep by 7 pm this the boy who goes to bed at 9 pm. I let him eat lunch in the playroom while watching a movie. To my surprise a half eaten sandwich was laying in front of him while he slept.
Uncle Greg, Aunt Alia, Sienna and Wyeth thanks so much for remembering Dayne and Felicia on their birthdays. All the boys loved the iron man stuff and everyone took a turn making music with her morraccas.
