Days 6 and 7 - nothing special

Yesterday was Sunday and we usually go to church. Unfortunately, I woke up with my eyes caked ans swollen, most likely from allergies. I spent the morning in bed and read the whole afternoon. Troy and Danica played withthe huge balloons and with the many nerf dart guns that Troy loves. We all watched Jurassic Park and the kids took that as a sign that they should set up Danica's Dinosaurs and shoot them with the dart guns. They had fun and then set up GI Joes and other little men to shoot. Danica's aim has a lot to be desired. Let's just say that no one has t worry if she is aming for them, but look out if you are anywhere around her. Troy is much better, especially as he gets closer and closer and cloaer. Anyway, nerf guns, balloons, tug of war and playing outside took up the whole day. I mad 2 huge pots of spaghetti sauce and froze a lot of it for future use. I also started and finished a book. It wasn't great but I have definately read worse. Richard keeps bringing home these crime and spy novels, and I was out of books to read.

Today was just as boring from a fun stand point. Troy had an appointment to get his new orthotics. We got his last pair in December and they were falling apart already. Since they were under warranty, his doctor just ordered a whole new pair. He likes these better than his last pair and says that they are more comfortable.

Then we went grocery shopping. I usually just go to Aldi and Walmart for groceries, but I decided to try something new. I went to Publix, Winn Dixie, aldi and then Walmart. The kids got bored with shopping. We did get Troy his flip flops and another cheap pair of shoes since his are falling apart. They also talked me into getting the little powdered and chocolate donuts. These donuts always end up everywhere! last time I dound them in Danica's bed. I wrote before that Danica likes to take things to bed with her. One time it was donuts. That was a mess and a half. We got other snack stuff for the kids, but they would rather have yogart and cheese than anything. I'm glad they are basically healthy eaters. Well, shopping took over 3 hours and another 1/2 hour to put things away (eventhough I came home between stores to put the cold stuff in the fridge). Since I wanted to make Chicken and Dumplings, we stayed at home the rest of the day and the kids played outside,

That was pretty much it. Not very exciting. We may go to Alabama Adventure tomorrow. Sometime this week we are going to the free family movie festival that our local theater has on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday each week during the week. We'll see what the week brings.
