It was quite the day at our house today! We started with school for Jonah. We hurried to finish what we needed to do in time for Lego club at 10:30. Thankfully, we made it in time. The theme for building today was monsters. Jonah and Silas built some neat creations and shared them with the group.
After Lego club, we walked to the bakery to buy some donuts. We headed back to our car by the library/park and saw that some of our friends were playing at the park. So, we decided to stay for awhile. We arrived home for a late lunch of donuts (and a bunch of other random items to fill hungry bellies). After getting the 3 littlest ones down for naps, Jonah and I finished reading Mr. Popper's Penguins. Not long after Mike got home from work, we headed up to the fire station for their chili feed. Although we didn't know what to expect, we had a great time! We had chili, rolls, ice cream, and popcorn (real healthy eating day today, huh?!). We ran into a number of people we knew from church and the community. And, the kids got to enter in prize drawings. By a little after 6, it started getting really busy at the fire station, so we decided to head home.
Fire hats for all - even a pink one for Lydia
The boys and I tried to press some beautiful leaves we had found. During this activity, Mike got a text from some friends from church who were at the chili feed that Lydia and Jude won big wheel trikes in the drawing. Apparently after the first drawing of the night for a junior rifle, Lydia was the first girl prize drawn immediately followed by Jude as the first boy drawn. They called a few minutes later to see if we wanted them to bring the big wheels to us and to let us know that Jonah's name was drawn, too. He got two coupons for personal pizzas at Pizza Hut!
What a great day!
It may be a couple of years before Jude can ride his new toy!
