I'm pretty good at this...

No, I am not talking about my blogging skills...those are certainly lacking...this has reference to a direct quote from Trenton this afternoon as I pitched him some whiffle balls. After cranking out a few, he told me just how good at baseball he really was. Then he wanted to play catch and picked up on that pretty quickly as well. I really enjoyed spending time with the kids today...nice to have Presidents' Day off. 

We also went to the dinosaur museum and Amber enjoyed how intrigued Trey and Trenton were and how many questions that they were asking. Their little minds are inquiring more and more which is good. Taft and Corban loved the wet sand play place and little Audrey just enjoyed making her dad chase her all over the museum giggling the whole way.

We went to Cabelas after the dinosaur museum and we definitely have to go camping and fishing this summer. The kids were entranced with the tents at Cabelas and thoroughly enjoyed watching the fish. I just enjoyed watching them while wishing I had about $1,000 in my wallet to be able to burn there ;-)

Then tonight for our FHE activity we watched part of chitty chitty bang bang and then did some push ups and pull ups together. It's fun to see how all of them want to join in on the exercise once I start (which isn't often unfortunately). Even Audrey joined in and hung from the pull up bar for a minute.

All in all it is just one of those days that tells you that you will miss this when it passes. I hope I can do a better job of taking advantage of the here and now and enjoying the kids while they are young. I thank The Lord for His tender mercies allowing me to be a part of their lives!
