A Full Day - Day 8

Today was a wonderful day... it must be, cause I feel exhausted :)

It was just after 7:00 am when I walked out of my bedroom... only to find both kids playing Legos at the table.  No idea how long they'd been up.

I got right to work on making cinnamon rolls for breakfast.  After we ate, we spent some time watching television and then decided to do Bible this morning since we weren't attending church.  We sang our memory verses, read Psalm 23 and then read a story about King David.  I'm so impressed with all the things our kids already know regarding our faith and its history.

After Bible we decided to go down to the pool for the first time since we arrived.  Tyler wasn't interested in swimming but did want to take more pictures so he joined us.  We decided to leave Coco behind... for the first time since we arrived.

I relaxed in the sun and talked with a women who lives in the building while she did water aerobics.  Tyler was a regular paparazzi taking pictures of everything!  It was wonderful.  After about an hour we went upstairs for lunch.  It was leftovers from pizza earlier in the week.  So I heated up the pizza and we all settled in the living room / bedroom for a TV picnic.  After lunch the kids got back into their Legos so I went out on the balcony to enjoy the breeze and colored a picture.

After I finished, I asked the kids to come out and we all played board games together on the balcony.  Sorry - Trouble - Yahtzee... Mom 2, Sammy 1, Tyler 0.  We had a great time!

The kids wanted to go to the beach for a bit so I agreed.  Since Coco did so well this morning, I got her prepped to stay behind and told the kids that I would swim with them.  So, with boogie boards in hand, we headed down.  The waves were amazing but strong... unfortunately there was a pretty strong current running parallel with the shore and it didn't take long before I decided we should go in.  The kids were not happy about such a short swim but after explaining my concern, they seemed to understand.

We got cleaned up and then headed out to grab some dinner.  We got take out from Outback and enjoyed it from out vehicle in the parking lot.  Then we made a quick return to Walmart for Tyler and headed back home.

Now we are all settled in for the evening... snuggling in our jammies.  My eyes are heavy but my heart is full!
