A walk in the park.....

Today has been a pretty laid back day. I was hoping to get way more done then I did. We made a Creative Memories delivery, then I was to go to the bank but I forgot my wallet at home so that was a no go. It was almost a good thing because Steven was with me and he was surprisingly excited to go. I was shocked at his response when he said "I lub to go to the bank", then I remembered Nana takes him and Paige to the bank all the time. The reason he was so excited is that Nana (my mom) allows them to run around her bank when she takes them there and to him a trip to any bank means he gets to run around like a crazy boy. We now have to try to unprogram him and teach him that this is not acceptable behavior.

Then we were going to get a car wash as when I was on Deerfoot I realized I couldn't shoulder check all that well since I now can not see out my windows. I am the biggest procratonator when it comes to washing the van and filling it with gas. I alway do both at the last possible second. Well apparently so do all the other people in my neighborhood as there are 5 stalls at the car wash and there was at least 5 cars in each line. Needless to say, it was 11:30 I was hungry, Cooper was going to be hungry soon and I didnt have a movie or book in the van to keep Steven occupied for the time it would take, so I went home to continue to procrastinate about getting a car wash.

After lunch we went for a walk to enjoy the beautiful weather. To me a walk with the boys is much more fun then going to the bank or washing the car anways! Steven talked the whole walk, I listened the whole walk and Cooper slept most the time. I have to laugh at Steven, as we were walking some guy who lived on the pond was taking apart a gate. He was using a wrench or something that was making a noise. Steven right away stops in his tracks and says "Mom, I hear a funny noise, but not funny ha ha." I don't know where he comes up some of the stuff he says!!

We played at the park, saw some birds, heard a bunch of "funny noises" and saw some puppies. We walked around the pond, checked out other peoples back yards and got the mail. Now that I think about it, this was a much more productive day then I thought it was!!
