Family "sick" Day

So I hate to admit it, but we played hookie from church yesterday.  I know, not a good example to set.  But, we had such a wonderful day hanging out as a family.  Our Sunday's are normally spent as a family; we begin at church and lunch, then the grocery store, maybe a nap and then some fun in the yard.  But since daddy works most Saturday's its normally Holden and mommy at the park, running errands, playing, etc.  So we wanted to take advantage of the lovely day and hang out together.

We started with a good breakfast, the most important meal of the day.  We shared eggs, biscuits with gravy and fruit.  Then we headed off to Kids Kastle playground where Holden climbed on every step, ladder, bench, bridge, you name it he tried to climb it.

Then, Holden decided that wanted to go down the winding slide and of course, it is not one that mommy or daddy could stand and guide him down while we stood next to it, oh no, he  had to go on the one that would require mommy or daddy to go down with him.  Guess who lost that battle????  Yea, mommy.  But who can resist those baby blues and those chubby fingers pointing and saying "ugh, ugh."  So down we went.......

Fortunately for mommy, Holden is not to the age where he wants to do things over and over and over, once was enough this visit.

After climbing on everything and going down the big winding slide, swings were next on the agenda.  He loves to swing, we swing all the time.  When we go for a walk or a bike ride, we always stop and swing for a bit.

Mommy pushes a little slower and lower than daddy does.  Daddy pushes really high, which Holden just laughs while mommy sits and bites her nails....

After the park, we went home just to restock our water and milk supply, grab a few photo props and off to the blue bonnets we went.  Last year we took family pics near my office in Los Colinas, there is such a great area there to take pics but since we were close to home, we found an area in Flower Mound.

After bluebonnet pics, we went to Sam's Club and got a few things that we needed AND we got two new books, Elmo's Rockin' Road Trip with attached "ipod" and sweet night night book.  We were pretty beat by then, so home we went for a nap.

Family "sick" day was such an awesome day!  I enjoy every minute of every day that I get to spend being a wife and mommy to my sweet boys.  Until next time.....lots of love.......
