~ WHAT A GREAT DAY, TODAY WAS! ~

we all had such a wonderful day ~ i got up, made a pretty big 'brunch', got the bear cubs ready & off we went for the park ~ we (pictures below) played at the park for a long time until the rain threatened enough that we decided to listen ~ we then headed to babies 'r us, then to target & then home for naptime ~ they all went down very quickly as they/we were all sleepy (i didn't get to nap though!) ~ after everyone woke up, they had dinner & played a bit as spike & i were getting read for a 'date' ~ we left brit in charge, which she's been asking to do to earn $$ for our vacation (this friday!!) ~ spike & i went out to dinnerat sapporos (YUM!) & then to see a movie (shrek) while brit & the bear cubs stayed home, watched a movie & ate popcorn, which they loved! ~ they were all (4 of the them) sound asleep by the time we arrived home & that's where i'm heading now that my day's done ~ don't know what's on the agenda for tomorrow, maybe to visit nana or something after we pick brit up at school as tomorrow's her last day for the summer & she gets out at 12:30 - as of tomorrow, she'll be a sophmore!! ~ our best friends are celebrating 2 of the children's 'gotcha days' as 4 years ago today, sanite & noah (from haiti) became a family with their new papa & mama (yeah!!!) ~ man, i can't believe how time flies!! ~ we love you guys & hope you had fun ~ 2 more sleeps until you leave & 4 more for us ~ see ya in florida!!! ~ hugs
