Let's Go Fly a Kite...

We went to a park tonight after dinner to try and fly a kite. This also was our family night activity. :) Kate watched Mary Poppins recently and has wanted to fly a kite since watching that movie. The kite wouldn't stay up for very long because the wind would come and go. We need to go to Mattawa or Ellensburg since the wind blows there all the time! So instead Kate played on the play toy, we walked down to this little creek and threw rocks in it and then went for a walk around this large play field where there was a baseball game and football practice going on. Then, we came home to get Preston into bed. I went to the gym after the kids were in bed and Kyle folded laundry. So nice of him since there was quite a bit.

This morning I took Kate to the library for this story time where the man who does it plays his guitar, sings, dances around (with the kids) and reads books. It's very entertaining and Kate loved it when we went before. So I wanted to take her back there. I invited her friend Alyssa to join us for the morning. So after Preston's (very short) morning nap we picked up Alyssa and went to the library. It was very interesting watching Kate vs the other kids during the story time. Kate was almost always moving around. There were 30 plus people at story time and she would wander around the room (this is actually okay, but still!). I kept telling her to sit down to listen to the story, but she would watch other kids instead and wander around. She's such an active girl. We probably need to work on her attention span a bit. :)

On Sunday, Kyle went home teaching in the morning before church. I was busy making rolls, special potatoes and jello while getting kids fed and dressed along with getting me dressed and ready. I was in the kitchen all day! But I had bought a ham from Costco because Kyle LOVES ham so I was making him a yummy Sunday dinner. We had to cook the ham and potatoes after church, but our dinner was yummy. The rolls turns out okay. They tasted good, but didn't look like my Mom's. I ended up taking dinner to this girl I visit teach who is pregnant with twins and on bed rest. It was fun to visit with her.

Kyle and I will celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary this weekend so we are planning on going on a date for that. Plus, there is a primary activity day on Saturday morning that I have to finish planning and preparing for. I better get busy with that!
