The kids had stuff that they wanted to do over the break. Preston wanted to take his driving test at the DMV. The 3 little girls wanted to go to the Aquatic Center. Friday, after work, I drove Preston to the DMV, but unfortunately, after waiting in line most of the afternoon, they stopped issuing drive tests, and we were out of luck. Because most of the afternoon was sucked dry at the DMV, we didn't make it to the Aquatic Center as planned. The girls didn't get too upset, because I promised to take them on Saturday, and allowed them each to bring a friend. They had a great time with their friends, and they were really happy because all the slides and diving boards were open!
Saige was thrilled because she is finally tall enough to play on the slide! She must have done it a thousand times. Happy, happy kid!
St. Patrick's day I thought I would take the kids to the parade in Lawrence. Then I remembered how much I hate downtown on a regular day. And how much I dislike crowds. And how bad parking is down there. We decided to stay home. After church, we agreed to meet some people with the remaining puppies, so they could meet them. They bought a dog, so it was worth it. We are down to 2 puppies left. We met them at the Tractor Supply, so the girls and I looked at baby chickens. We did not buy any. This is big progress for us!
The girls also had a 4-H cooking meeting. Yesterday they learned about making fair quality cookies, and they practiced a monster cookie recipe. These cookies turned out great! I was planning to recreate them at home, but someone ate the M&M's! These cooking lessons are very well thought out, and the girls really are learning a lot!
Today is a teacher prep day, so Mallory had to go back to school, but the kids have this one, last day off. I got up super early and took Preston back to the DMV to take his driving test. Unfortunately, running a red light is frowned upon by the DMV, and so he failed his test. (He turned right on a red - totally legal...BUT he forgot to stop and yield to the oncoming traffic first--- minor details?). He was not a very happy kid, but he can try again next time there is a day off!
I am very sad that their break is over, because it means an end to easy going schedules. I did enjoy having them home and doing some fun stuff with them. It was a great break!
