A much needed night out

I've had the privilege of having this whole last week off of work. I still had to go in for the usual paperwork, but no patient's were scheduled due to the doctor going to Hawaii for a Dental Convention. It has been nice to only go in for a couple hours in the morning and spending the rest of the time with the kids. I really feel like I've gotten some things done around here. It's been a nice change, but is going to come to an end quickly.


The other night my sister Christine and I decided that we needed a night away from children to get some much needed shopping done. We had attempted to do this the week before, but had no luck. It's amazing how much more you can get done without 5 kids tagging along. Needless to say we got everything done and saw the entire Chandler mall in under 3 hours. It was Awesome. It was so nice to have a night out with my sister and we've now decided that we need to start doing this on a regular basis. We'll see what the husbands have to say about this.....

Aaron's pool party

With summer officially here it was nice to play in the water again. Addison's favorite cousin Aaron turned 4 this last month, so my sister decided to have a pool party in her back yard with several different water attarctions. The kids loved it and it was nice to get in some cool water and out of the sun.



Since the kids did a pretty good job of soaking the back yard while playing in the water, they decided to break the Diego pinata indoors for a change. The kids loved it, but I'm not sure Joe felt very safe. Good thing it broke before the big kids got to it!
