Last week after church we were going to Quick Trip so Tracy could get chew. We went through downtown Des Moines. Duncan was amazed by all the big buildings. He asked, are we in the city? Tracy told him yes we are. Duncan just kept saying over and over, thank you for bringing me to the city! He was so amazed, like he had never been out of Runnells before!
Tracy was in California this week (LA) for a conference. I stayed home with the kids, because that is just easier. It was a good week, everyone did a good job of getting along, including me! All the kids were good listeners too, that always helps. I worked one day, which helped break up the week! Grandma was on vacation this week to, so she helped out. I got new frames for my glasses since Olivia decided to break my other one's.
It was a beautiful day today for January. So we played outside for a couple of hours this morning. We went on a walk, got suckers from the postmaster at the post office, stickers from the sheriff, and all wound up by aunt and uncle. They stopped to visit in front of the post office. Then we came home and just played outside. The kids loved it. It has been awhile since they have been able to get toys out of the garage. Elliott is tall enough to reach the petal on the jeep without setting on the edge of the seat, all though all the kids can make it go now. Boy are we gonna be in trouble this summer! They took good naps today, 2 1/2 hours!!  Fresh air does wonders for 2 year olds. Duncan crashed hard at bed time, fresh air does a 4 year old boy good too, even though he always says he is not tired.
