Yesterday was the first Summer library day for the kids. With Anthony there, Emily did so much better. Anthony took Emily to sit with him on the carpet. At first she didn't want to but then she laid on his lap for the entire time. After a few minutes she forgot I was even there. The lady from the Comedy Barn came with four dogs. First she taught dog safety. Then her dogs did tricks. At the end she let all the kids stand in line and take turns petting the dogs. Mr. Spence had a 'traveling suitcase' and had a prize in it for each child.
Then we went home and the kids woke Daddy up from his nap. Emily would count to three and then body slam him. Anthony gave Daddy a wedgie so bad his underwear ripped. They had a great time wrestling.
Aunt Kim came over and played in the kiddie pool and blew bubbles with the kids. After Emily went to bed, I asked Aunt Kim if she would stay with the kids so I could go for a walk. Usually Anthony doesn't want to go so I was surprised that he asked if he could go too. Right as we were leaving Daddy came home. So the three of us, and Lucy went for a nice long walk. We went down the street behind us and to the creek. Anthony practiced tricks on his scooter and we saw a huge butterfly chrysalis and an entire field full of baby's breath. After our walk, the grown ups watched Little Fockers.
