So, right now I'm wondering why I thought it was a good idea to pick up happy meals in the McDonald's drive-thru tonight. My kids love the idea of happy meals, but they never really want to eat their cheeseburgers and fries. I've literally had to bribe them to eat their dinner....guess I should've gone with pb&j's and fruit tonight!
Anywho, yesterday we went for a hike/horseback ride up Trout Creek Canyon with Grandpa and Grandma McCauley and Uncle John and Auntie Ann. For some reason, I assumed it would be a mile or two....it was three miles...each way. I'm not much of a hiker, but I made the best of it. Well, except for being a little bit whiney. After our hike/horseback ride, we decided to have burgers at the York Bar. That would've been a great thing except there was a 30-year reunion party there and folks were drinking...and cussing...a lot. We inhaled our burgers and headed home for baths/showers and ice cream sandwiches.
This afternoon we went swimming at Grandpa and Grandma Miller's house. The kids had a blast...and they ate waaaaaay too many cookies. Hmmm....now that I think about it, that might be why they aren't eating their happy meals.
We have an interesting week ahead of us....on Tuesday Marc and the kids are going to take Uncle Ryan to Bozeman to catch a flight back to California. It's fair week here in Helena and Marc is planning on taking the kids to the stickhorse rodeo on Wednesday morning and the Kiddie Parade is Thursday morning. Speaking of Thursday, that is Marc and my 10-year anniversary! And, it also happens to be the last evening of t-ball. After Kellan's game, we are planning on going out for a nice dinner minus kids. We haven't seen each other much lately (have I mentioned how much I love hay season?!) so I wonder what we'll talk about. On Saturday, we are going to take the kiddos to the fair and the rodeo.
This Friday we are going to a little bbq and bonfire to spend some with some of my cousins. I have LOTS of cousins on my mom's side of the family.....I think there are 20 of us....and we don't see each other often. My aunts took care of us during the summers so we all spent alot of time together when we were growing up....it will be fun to spend some time catching up with them.
I'm currently reading "Julie and Julia"....I loved the movie and, of course, I'm enjoying the book even more. I really like cooking and I really like blogging so it seems like the perfect book to read!
Now, it's time to throw away most of the McD's food that my kids didn't eat, give them baths/showers, and put on a movie. Only two hours until bedtime....Whew!
