Monday again, Happy Columbus Day

A holiday for some, just another Monday for me.  I look forward to Mondays at work.  We clean, rearrange, organize and just revamp for the week!  This morning we woke at 5am to Sloan's cheerful scream.  Brent took her back to bed with warm milk since it was a holiday for him.  two hours later i got up and tried to sneak out of the house as not to wake anyone.  Brayden came down to say bye and ask if I needed his help at work.  I asked him why he did not want to stay home with Brent and Sloan, His reply, I don't want to go to that wiener place.  Brent had told him the night before they could go to the biggest wiener house in the country, Whienshintzel. I assured him he did not have to eat.  

After a half day of classes and an hour of cleaning, I headed home to relieve Brent.  Brayden and I decided we would head to the parks in the neighborhood.  I must admit we do have the best.  We went to the tunnel park, the pirate park, the dragon park and finally the firetruck park.  



























At the dragon park, Sloan wanted to imatae Brayden as he staddled the dragons scales.  Her little legs were not longer enough to go over and she came to an abrut hault.  I think she was a little surprised, Brayden and I laughed!

Moving on to the fire truck park.  Sloan brought the new stroller from Kel and baby Emma along.  Emma was thrown off the bridge for unknown reasons.  I did save her before we left the park.  She worked on perfecting her climbing skills.  She was pretty proud when she could climb into the firetruck all by herself.  By the time we left she was in and out all on her own. 

Brayden hung and jumped and jumped and hung.   Brayden jumped from piece to piece of equipment making sure each was a little further or higher than the next.  Our time was cut short due to the UPS truck running today.  Strange, yes, but Brayden ordered his Halloween costume last week and It was suppose to arrive Saturday.  It did not and it did not arrive today.  After checking the tracking we found it in Colorado, Thankful it is on its way.  I think Braydens issue with Halloween costumes were just as bad as mine. He claims he will never order off line again.  it just takes too long!


Before we left we all tried this silly looking spinning egg.  Brayden loved it, Sloan giggled and smiled with every faster spin and then it was my turn....You sit/lay in the egg.  As you lend back the weight of your body starts to spin the egg.  (do not insert boob jokes here)  I sat and started spinning.  The more I yelped ( not really a scream but not quiet a whimper) the closer Sloan came to me.  I stuck my legs out to stop the rather fast spinning and I took out my own daughter.  Basically, I swiped her legs flipping her up and over face first into the ground.  She looked up at Brayden and I like she could kill us in one blink.  Again Brayden and I laughed, She wasn't hurt for all you worry warts out there. Below is the egg thing!

I did a little sweeping and swiftering while the boys were at football practice.  Sloan and I took a short break to dance on the counter with the radio blaring "Apple bottom jean, boots with the fur".  She imitates my every move and I must say She has my dance skills, watch out dancing with the stars.  (and for anyone thinking I might have developed my skills into something great, nope they are the same rhythm-less moves i have always had)!
