Play Day

There was no school yesterday due to a Teacher In-Service.   Mrs. DeFelice needed someone to watch her daughter, Annee, so we took her for the day.

Mrs, DeFeliece gave me money to take all the kids to McDonald's for lunch, so after we picked Savannah up from her Student Council retreat, we went to McDonald's.  Tristan picked up Britney and met us at McDonald's for lunch.  The little kids loved playing in the play land and were thrilled to see some of their friends from school there too.  There were so many people there.  All of Moss Bluff was there, it seemed!  

After eating, Tristan and Britney decided that they wanted to play at the play land too, but I squashed that idea pretty quickly, and suggested that we go over to the soccer park to play instead.

Tristan and Britney walked down the street to her house to grab a soccer ball. Britney came back riding her bike with Tristan standing on the pegs behind her.  They kept everyone running all over chasing the ball for a while.  Then they played on the big toy and played tag.  After that, Britney gave everyone a ride on her bike around the park and showed us her awesome tricks, which Tristan tried to replicate.  We all got some good laughs at his failed attempts!

While we were there, Tristan's friend, Jess, called saying she had locked herself out of her house and her car.  She needed to go to McNeese for a trumpet lesson and wanted to know if Tristan had any ideas for breaking into her house.  I told her that I needed to go into Lake Charles to the Scout Office to sign Ethan and myself up for the Mom and Me Camp Out and I would take her to her lesson if she would like.

So, I took Annee home because she did not want to ride with us.  I think she was tired.  Jackson and Holden rode with me to get Jess and her sister, Leanne, and were out before we even got to Annee's house.  Ethan, Savannah, Tristan, and Britney went to her house to swim for a bit before they had to go to band practice.

I came back to our house with Jess and her sister Leanne, since they were still locked out of their house.  I even loaned Jess a pair of my flip-flops because she was not wearing her shoes when they shut the door.  Tristan and Britney brought Ethan and Savannah home and picked up Jess and Leanne for band practice.

We were sitting there thinking we would have a quiet evening, when all of a sudden I remembered Ethan had open house that started in eight minutes.  And after that, he had soccer and I had a Cub Scout Den Leader Meeting!  How on earth could I forget all that?!!

Despite some of the craziness and spontaneous nature of the day, it was fun!  We had a good time and it was nice to get out of the house and play outside for a bit.  It was fun too, to get to know some of Tristan's friends a little bit more!
