Geocaching fun

Yes. Mommy crawled in there to find a geocache.

What a busy day! Daddy was going to be gone for most of the day again, so in a desperate attempt to keep the infighting (and home destruction) at a minimum, Mommy and the girls embarked on an exhausting day of fun!

Market with Daddy before he left.
Quick stop at Mommy's factory to fix something.
Visit with our friends, the Carneys, who were hosting a Alex's Lemonade Stand during their neighborhood yard sale. We meant to stay a couple minutes and stayed for a couple HOURS! :)
Got our nails done. It was their first professional manicure and they did great!
Rested at home a little while before...
Heading to McDonalds for dinner. Mommy didn't want to cook and was game for anything that would keep the peace!
Then we were off to the park for some biking and geocaching.

Don't know about the girls, but Mommy is soooo sleepy!

Jill, Kate and a friend manning the lemonade stand.
They raised over $140 for childhood cancer research!
Way to go girls!

Owen and Natalie chillin'

our cutie.

As is her nature, she was wary... especially when mom was called to her manicure. But she did great! So did Jillian, but Mommy didn't have time to get her picture!

Jill: bright blue and yellow with white polka dots.
Natalie: neon pink and purple with two painted flowers
Mom: 'boring' old opalescent grey :)

Mommy and Daddy went on a dinner cruise on the Susquehanna River. It was a beautiful night! Thanks to Grandma and Pap for the Christmas present!

Our paper girl!

Fun with Jakey

While the big sisters, Zoe and Jillian, took dance class, Mommy entertained the preschool siblings...

Luckily, we found many things to occupy us/them and the hour went quickly. We marveled at our huge shadows in the setting sunlight, walked miles of curbs in the industrial park sounding and acting like a variety of animals, found tons of acorns to fill our pockets, rolled down a hill or two and even found an elusive geocache. Whew. And that just barely kept their attention for a single hour!
