it was a good and productive day because we finally, after months of trying to figure out a way to hopefully make money, then to hopefully not have to spend money, got rid of our boat. boat ownership has been a frustratingly painful experience and one that we're glad to put behind us. live and learn, ya'll. live and learn.
because matt was handling the boat, i was handling the gymnastics. we made a new gym buddy to be our new carpool buddy and it was a fun gym day. :) good day all around! i think we've got a coh program, and we finalized the coh invites. we've got coh on the brain and it's coming together!
today we had gymnastics. it was the last class (but not really because next week we will make up last week and that will be the real *last* class) so we got to play on both sides of the gym. always a fav! the girls played on the giant snow piles that are still all around town.
we did a poor mans chicfila, which entails eating lunch before you get there and then splitting a large fry. there was an early release so franks didn't have school and we have very few local options for places to play. wish there were more options!
tonight i had a good mommy moment. those can seem few and far between sometimes, (i'm sure i'm just being hard on myself... probably) so i'm recording it. matt's been taking a few days a week to swim after work since he has a navy pt test coming up, which means he's not home till around 6:30. so. we ate dinner (bubba made it!) and of course lanes and frank were not done eating, but addie needed piano help because apparently she's forgotten which hand plays what and what any of the keys are. just a little frustrating. anyhow, while i was helping addie, (frustratingly) f&l decided to throw rice all over the dining room. awesome.
i put the little girls in time out, gave addie something easy to play to warm up, and went downstairs for some cleansing breaths. aaaaand, it worked. i was able to come back to addie and help her remember finger position and middle c, and then calmly talk to the girls about why we don't throw food and have them clean up. hooray for small victories!
we finished our 5th little house book (by the shores of silver lake) and are excited to start book 6. after i finished reading, matt took over the bedtime fun, and i was able to finish my g-work. chris and joseph went to the combined activity which was "ok" and "lame," respectively. then they told me all about it for the next 15 minutes, so i think that's a success. we're gearing up for the boys 17th and my fun trip this weekend. good days. :)
