Dinner and Swimming

While on my three mile jog this morning I realized I'm running out of time to train for the SF half marathon--eeks! I kinda forgot about it but knew it was close. It's only 7 weeks away--time to get on a training schedule!
I had put Tyce down for a nap before I left so the house was quiet when I got home. Kev had a few minutes before Dave came to pick him up, so we got to chat a bit while I stretched. We talked about our messy room and I was determined to get it clean today.
Before the boys woke up I was able to fold all the laundry that's been in my room plus start another load. When Ry and Asher woke up I made them some eggs and muffins and did a little cleanup downstairs. Seriously, our entire house needs major work!
After breakfast I had Ry and Asher clean up the loft and their room. They didn't get started for quite some time because they easily get distracted. But they knew it needed to be done before they could go swimming with their daddy! I worked off and on in my room as well as more laundry. I didn't get very far in my room but at least it was a start.
Before I knew it it was time to leave. I wanted to stop by Wal Mart to get the boys some pool toys before picking up Kevin from work. We were supposed to be there at 4:30 and I called him at 4:15 while in American Fork. We were just stopping at Wal Mart so we'd be late. I'm sure he wasn't surprised. We found what we needed and picked up Kev by 5:10. Rylan asked for some swim noodles but I didn't buy them.
We decided it would be best for Kevin to drop me off for my dinner date with the girls and then I'd just get a ride from Deborah to Mark's pool. I was meeting up with Deborah, Kacy, and Michelle Holbrook (while she's in town) for dinner at Chic-fil-A (we were all going to have our kids so we thought that would be perfect. Kacy and I ended up only bringing one of our own kiddos, but it was still perfect!) Target is just right there so that's where Kevin dropped me off. I was happy to find a pair of shorts (that I ended up keeping on after trying them on!) I walked over to Chic-fil-A with Tyce a little early.
Michelle and boys showed up so we got to chat for a few minutes before Deborah and kids came and then Kacy and Sydney. We talked a bit before getting our food and then talked and talked more and more! It was great! We left just after 8:00 and after a small detour Deborah dropped me off at Mark's pool.
The boys were excited to show me some tricks--jumping, twisting, kicking in the pool. They were having a ball! It was hard to get them out of the pool because they had "just one more trick". John and Aubrey were there with their boys, too, so I know my boys (including Kev) had a great time!
Asher and Tyce both fell asleep on the way home. Nice!
