Opening Day=Single Mom

so sweet

Today marked the beginning of hunting season (gun season) which means I will be a single Mom until mid-January! Now that I have three kids to keep me busy, I don't mind it (for three days max)! I decided that we would take advantage of the great weather and stay out of the house today. We first went to the train show at the Ag Museum (we were disappointed because it was basically just train collectors buying and selling trains, no fun stuff- but the kids enjoyed the train display the museum has up)! I then decided we should go to the Reservoir (North shore) because Will is always saying how much he would love to go the edge of the water. We went to the park and threw pine cones in the water- it was so much fun! AP loved chasing her brothers! We then traveled over the causeway to see water on BOTH sides of the car- so much fun! We turned around and went over it again then headed to Backyard Burger for a late lunch. After lunch we headed home so AP could nap. It probably doesn't sound like much fun to you, but I loved it!! I know in a few short years my boys will be tagging along with Rhyne to the deer camp and it will no longer be "cool" to stay home with MOM!!! I guess me and Ann Phelps will then take shopping trips (ha, ha)!
