Wed May 27th

It's bright and sunny today and I love it! I was going to go for a run early but decided to let Lincoln take a nap, which ended up being a great choice. He snoozed from 9 AM to 11 AM, and I cleaned and work and packed. Then when he woke up at 11 we went for a walk. It was pretty warm and I couldn't run much but it was nice getting a lot done in the morning. Plus Lincoln stayed awake the whole time and will now take another nap. And Lisey is taking a nap. (It's early enough that it shouldn't bother your sleep schedule, which is great.) I'm so glad that Lincoln likes walk so much! It would be so sad if he hated the stroller and I couldn't go for my run. It's a nice part of my day and makes me happy. Thanks little link for like in the stroller. And thank you even more to Heavenly Father for giving me such a nice little boy. And two nice little girls. I am very very grateful to Him. 

We found a little turtle on the side of the road towards the beginning of our walk. I let Lisey hold it all the way to the creek and she set her free there. We named her Shelley the turtle. 

We went to the pool after school and the sun started going away. It fooled us all day and made us think it be perfect for swimming. We still had a fun time but it was chilly. We decided to leave at 4:30 from the pool to try and make it to the mall, since that was our original plan before the sun came out and tricked us into going to the pool. 

Taking six kids to the mall was kind of a crazy idea. We took the kids out for dinner then we went down to pick up our iPads. The iPad place was closed for a minute. So we let the kids play at the play place. While we played, we could hear a storm raging outside. I can't believe how much rain we've had the spring. It's been stormy and rainy almost every day for three weeks with occasional sunny days in between. We ended up getting iPads okay and we all made it home alive even though it was very late and the kids were all very tired.
