Roller World

This morning we discovered that pictures of Paige and Cason make Neely really happy.
Neely's practically crawling, by the way. She sort of uses her arms like an army crawl, but with a little push with the feet too, and scoots her way across the room to get to whatever toy she has her eye on. Today Paige made her a "scooting map".
Karl and Barby came by and helped with our yard, like weed eating and trimming the edges of the lawn. They must like us.
Then Dad and Trudi babysat so Jess and I could go out on a date. They must like the kids.

We pigged out,
and then I got dessert and pigged out some more.
I still haven't ever felt like I need to get away from the kids, but as they get older dates alone are kinda nice, just so we can talk to each other a little. Our kids like talking to us, which is awesome, but it's hard to actually talk to Jess at all. Ha.

THEN we picked up the sweet ones and treated them to a drive thru car wash. They think it's so much fun. PLUS our car was completely filthy, so....win WIN.
THEN...we came home and made our first version of Roller World. Sorry Michael, I meant to wait for you to be here, but they got new chalk for Easter and Paige has been begging. I couldn't make her wait any longer. But rest assured, I found out you're way better at the whole road design process.
So we'll make a much better one when you're here next. Hopefully Chris and my siblings will be here to help decorate. The kids helped for a while tonight.
It was still really fun, just like we remember. But the kids lost interest in decorating and just wanted to get to riding.
Neely hung out on her blanket for a bit.
And with Jess.
Some day, Neely.
