Typical Thursday

I really don't have much to comment on today....it was the usual Thursday, starting early and ending late. Anya insisted on a quick watercoloring session before we left this morning which kept her in a good mood for the ride to Colleen's. As usual, she played hard there and was resting in the back of the double stroller when I came to pick her up. The only activity she "remembered" from the day was face-painting. Ever since her recent birthday parties with facepainting, she has done pretend painting on a frequent basis. We helped daddy at his office briefly,then dinner at "the cow barn restaurant". Anya has been to Boulder Creek a total of 2 times-a very long time ago, but since we drive past it almost every day, she always asks to go there. We were reminded why we haven't gone out to eat with both kids in a while as Baz decided he didn't want to eat and instead threw everything in his reach on the floor. Thankfully, it was very early (about 4:30 when we sat down), so all of our food came out quickly and we weren't there very long. Anya was great and cheerfully ate most of her chicken and fries without any problem. We met up with Nana for ice cream after that and rather than eat ice cream, Baz took laps around the place. What a weirdo!!! Anya enjoyed her sundae but refused to eat "ice cream soup". Anyway, the day ended with a nice tub and a new motorized Nemo toy. Thanks Nana and Aunt Patty!!! Here's hoping we all get some rest tonight!!
