A very big day....

Well, it's been quite the Saturday. We packed it full of lots of fun! We started the day out by Evelyn playing on her new "Smart Cycle". It's a stationary bicycle that gets plugged into the TV and then the kiddo's play a video game by pedaling the bicycle and steering to earn points. She has a Dora the Explorer game for it and a Learning game. She really had a blast. Elora likes to push the buttons and cheer Evelyn on. She's a little too short to ride. David left for an appt at 9:30 and the girls and I quickly got antsy for our chance to get out of the house. So we ventured out to the recently uncharted territory of the Mall. We spent a fair amount of time at sears and investigated a new washing machine as ours broke earlier this week. The washer would agitate but not spin to release the wash water and start the rinse and spin cycle. So at any rate, as I looked at the washer I thought I could figure this out and in the process broke the sensor that registers when the lid is down so that the washer can run. Ha ha, now that I broke the sensor David had no chance of trying to figure out what was wrong with it. So we went today and purchased a new LG front load washing machine that can accomodate King Size comforters (Praise the Lord!!!) It will also wash our 8x10 living room rug : ) Hooray!!! The Washer also has the ability to "Steam" items... Hooray for us as that will cut down on the ironing that I should do but never get around to so we wear somewhat wrinkled clothing at times : ) Boy oh boy do I feel lazy.... At any rate. Our new washing machine will be delivered tomorrow and I can begin to catch up on the laundry that has begun to pile up after a few days : ) Oh yes, David joined us at Sears and we had lunch at Chick fil a and let the girls play in the play area. Whew, busy morning. We left Sears and went to the Flowertown Festival that takes place in downtown Summerville. The area was expecting heavy rain and storms so we took our ponchos and umbrellas, and enjoyed walking around looking at the craft vendors and eating delicious "taste of summerville" foods. Yummy. Our friend Brenna joined us with two of her kiddos, Jonah and Adalyn. Brandon, our long lost naval buddy also joined us for the day. We had sooo much fun sweating outside in the humidity until they closed the festival due to impending bad weather. So we rushed as much as we could to the cars and made it back just in time for it to start raining. What fun : )

We left the festival and headed for Chuck e Cheese. This was the first Chuck e Cheese experience I have had as a parent. And I really have very little desire to return on a weekend. The kids enjoyed it and so did the adults(as much as possible). We brought cupcakes to celebrate Evelyn's birthday with and split two pzza's with friends and family. Dawn, Brittany and Isaiah joined us, along with Nan, Brandon, and Brenna, Michael, Shelby, Jonah and Adalyn. Wow.. it was quite a crowd.

We were very happy to come home and relax. The girls and I watched Cinderella on our return and they are now snuggled happily into their bed.

Tomorrow the washer will be here early between 9 and 11 am. No church for me. A risk we took when we agreed to Sunday delivery. So hopefully I'll be doing laundry by noon : )

Have a Happy Day.
