We went to the Crozier's house to play today. They had a cute little giraffe pool. We played in that for a little while, before all the fussiness started. Alissa got frustrated, because she was bored. The pool was too little for her. While we were setting it up, Heather read on the box that the pool was for kids ages 5 - 10. Alissa wasn't impressed and didn't think that it would be fun for any 10 year old. She was sad that she had come with us and hadn't arranged to go play with one of her friends.
Before we left to their house, I told Brinley to bring a change of clothes, but she insisted that she only wanted to wear her swimsuit the whole time. Mikenna and Brinley decided to take a break from swimming and play inside. Brinley was too cold in her swimsuit. I told her to come out in the sun and dry off, then play inside. She didn't like that. That started Brinley's fussiness.
Eventually the kids calmed down and we all went inside to eat lunch. We had fun for the next 2 hours or so, then the fussiness started again and we knew it was time to leave. Kids were fussy and whining on the drive home, then came home and went to their rooms to calm down.
After things calmed down, Roger and I let Alissa have a go at babysitting. We left her in charge, while we walked down the street to Wendy's. We enjoyed a nice little break from the kids. It was a mini date. It seems like it's been a really long time since we've gone on a date.
Roger had to work tonight, so the kids and I are just chillin'. Brinley helped me make some brownies. I like brownies made from a mix better than the ones from scratch, but we didn't have a mix. We tried a different recipe, I hope it taste good.
