70 on a sunday

i took 4 boys to the park yesterday for the afternoon. ian elected to go to the movies with our neighbor which i think he regretted later (they saw alvin and the chipmunks), which when asked if he enjoyed it, he looked at me with an aggravated scowl and said "mom, like i said, it was alvin and the chipmunks." okay, now that we are through that................................owen, jule and marios kids christopher (3) and troy (turned 1 saturday) and i all hung out at the skate park for the day. we took scooters, bikes peanut butter and jelly sandwichs and cupcakes to celebrate troys birthday. aside from not being able to pee except when mario showed up to drop off baby wipes for me, we had a great time. it was 70 degrees (yeah, in january- totally rocks) and just beautiful out. no wind (the trademark of a desert winter), no clouds, just sunny and warm. the boys went non-stop on their scooters and bikes and had a blast. they had several friends there also which made for more fun for them. saturday they went to the park for a birthday party after martial arts and got to play all day also. they were really happy about having such a great weekend so the pressure is on for next weekend. i finished the pool house yesterday on my lists of gut it out and clean it. i did the storage room last week so now i am down to the workshop and laundry room. progress happens. i am the cleaning machine baby! marios lease was up on his apartment and so he is staying in the pool house until he can find a suitable place for he and the boys. in more important news, ian will be 13 in less than a month and owen 10. what the hell????????????? by the way, this, by no means, shows that i am getting old. it is scary.
