Spring break - days 2 through 4

Tuesday morning Raegan helped me out by packing snacks for our play date with one of her friends from school, who we met at a park. 

They swang:

Cameron tagged along:

These baby ducks thought I was their momma duck and followed me all the way around the park.  Raegan and her friend tried feeding them pretzels; other kids came by and picked the poor lil things up, which caused them to squeal and squeak.  

After playing at the park we picked up food from our favorite quick service restaurant ;) and then went to get my car's oil changed and then shopping for more princess birthday party goodies! Later we met up with Philip at the chiropractor, as he had an appointment right before mine. 

Cameron was asleep in his car seat so Philip and I switched cars and Raegan stayed with me for my appointment.  We went and washed Philip's car for him and  vacuumed it as well before picking up Rosas for dinner on the way home. After dinner Philip helped Raegan hang up her birdhouse in a tree in our front yard.  She built and painted it this past weekend at a free event Lowe's held. 

Wednesday morning Raegan was extra helpful by putting away dishes, helping me fold towels, dressing herself, and even making me a cup of coffee! (She's pretty awesome!)  After beautiful 80 degree weather on Tuesday, the bitterly cold and windy Wednesday morning was not what I was looking forward to, but we braved it anyways to head to storytime at the library.  The theme this week was a sock hop or as Raegan explains, "a dance party!"  The kids also made 'hound dog' sock puppets, which they both really like playing with. (Sometimes it's the simplest things!)

After storytime one of my friends and her son, who is Cameron's age, came over for the kids to play while we discussed a Bible study we are doing together called, "power of a praying wife."  

Philip's parents came in town late Wednesday afternoon and brought Babe for Raegan to ride in our front yard. Cindy, Raegan and I played Sequence for Kids and each won once.  We also watched Alice in Wonderland and Philip and his dad went fishing Wednesday evening and Thursday morning and caught two big white perch fish which Philip cleaned and will probably cook tomorrow night.  It'll be pretty cool if his fishing hobby can help lower our grocery bill ;)
