Jumped In The Car

It felt like the 2 boys and I were continually jumping into the car today. Our day started with myself and Brandon playing some educational preschool games on the laptop, at Brandon's request. Then once Bailey woke I fed the boys and finally managed to get them dressed before then jumping into the car. First place of business was Brandon's karate class. He was fabulous. He gets so very tired though because he does so very much. Then we jumped back into the car and came home to meet the pest controllers who we had booked in for 10am. So the 2 boys and I jumped back into the car and headed up towards the nearby supermarket to fill in some time while our house got sprayed for bugs. I had a change of mind and we ended up at the display village looking at 2 houses, 1 of which I would like to build somewhere for investment. It just has a house plan that works well on a small lot. The 2 boys loved it. It was such an adventure for them. Then we jumped back into the car and went to the supermarket to get some milk and a few other things. Hurried the boys along as we jumped back into the car to go home to pay the pest controllers. Once home we stocked up on some food and then jumped back into the car. This time I put the DVD on for the boys thinking that we would drive straight to the stationary shop to get some things for work. Instead first I had to get petrol. Again jumping into the car with the air conditioner on full we headed off to our next stop. Traipsed out of the car into the office supplies shop, asked a sales assistant if they had what I was looking for, paid for it, and we were jumping back into the car not even 5 minutes later. This time we were heading home for the day .I was tired of driving and it was hot. The afternoon was spent watching cartoons before daddy jumped into the car and took the 2 boys out to the shops to get some stamps. It took them 1 hour. No more "ducking in" anywhere with kids. I had a client picking up a gift voucher this afternoon so once she had departed I actually watched "The Bold & The Beautiful". I was fascinated because I haven't watched that show for nearly 5-6 years, and all the characters were the same. Cooked boys dinner in anticipation for their imminent arrival. They crashed and banged through the door on their return. The 2 boys ate outside and then again insisted they jump on the trampoline. Jumped with them for awhile until Brandon kicked me in the chest and then it wasn't fun anymore. Boys so tired from jumping in and out of the car all day and then finishing their day jumping on the trampoline that they are now both asleep and it's only 7:30pm here. Hooray!
