I decided that there were so many fun things to do during the summer in Kansas City that I needed to map out a plan to get the kids to some of them on Wednesdays. And then (here's where it gets good), I decided that if I could go, we could invite other moms who are home on Wednesdays. And so it begins: Jaime's Incredible Summer of Fun.
Our first event was going to the zoo. I figured early in the summer would be less hot. If less, it was certainly humid. We had 6 moms total, and who knows how many kids. I had two. That is who I was in charge of.
Sam took off leading the pack. No, not just the kids. The moms too. Like he knew where he was going. And at one point, he said as we passed by a worker, "Nice day today, isn't it?" Amy cracked up, but that's my son. 4 going on 84.
Kate enjoyed what she could see. I've decided she's earned a new nickname: the trash collector. A few nights ago, I wiped the extra bites of leftover pizza into the kitchen trash can and finished cleaning up the table. Kids were playing elsewhere when I walked away. Just a couple of minutes later, I see Kate eating pizza. No pizza is out, so I asked if she got it from the trash can. Uh-huh. Great.
At the zoo, she dropped cheerios on the floor (and by floor, I mean dirt), and that didn't stop her. Just kept eating. Also, she worked the moms, picking off snacks from poor, unsuspecting 'friends' and hoarding her own. What a woman. Don't say she got that from me. She didn't. I may be messy, but I don't eat messy.
All in all, it was a successful day. A hot, sticky, snacky successful day.
