A Perfect Day.

Last Monday my husband FINALLY took a day off from work and we got to have an amazing family day. 

The day began as it usually does. Jay took off to do a few things before we were going to leave while I fed the kids, straightened up the house, got everyone dressed and cleaned up. Only this Monday was a little different.  Kyle and Hailey scarfed their breakfast.  I told them "I am getting in the shower" and THEY CLEANED the house.  Yup, you read me right...they CLEANED.  When I came out of the shower every toy was put away. Just knowing we were going to the aquarium put a new boost in their step =)

Then, they ate ALL of their lunch, with NO FIGHT!  Then, it was off to the aquarium!

Hailey LOVED the penguins.  Once she saw them she was hooked.  We would look at other tanks, and admire different fish and sea animals but she kept asking to go back to see the penguins.  Daddy bought her a penguin purse to commemorate the day.  What a perfect little gift for Buglet. Another accessory AND a baby penguin in one =)

Kyle was most excited about the sea turtle and the shark.  Although, every time a shark came by the window we were looking into Kyle would jump and whimper, "I'm scared!"

Yet, he kept going back....

Auntie Kate joined in on the family fun.  It was nice of her to come.  It gave us a little break and the babes were so excited to see her.

We ended the day with an early dinner at Legal Seafood.

I definitely knocked myself out for the "mother of the year" award.  Kyle and Hailey had goldfish crackers and a brownie Sundae for dinner. I know not healthy....

but it kept them tame so we could enjoy our delicious food and it was FUN!  Thanks for taking the day off Daddy. Can't wait for you to do it again!!! =)
