Today was a pretty crazy day. This morning I took Elli to meet her new owner with Asher and Levi in tow while Andy took Jude to karate. It was sad to see Elli go since I’ve had her for 14 years. After that, all 5 of us met up for a movie at the theater. We enjoyed the movie Wreck it Ralph. Our hot air balloon ride was cancelled, which was a bummer. But, my mom had already nearly made it to our house for babysitting duty when we got the news, so she stayed for awhile and read books with the boys and helped me fold clothes and sweep the floor. Then tonight we all headed to the Mall of America. We had some free tickets to use at the amusement park. They boys had lots of fun. My goal is to train up 3 little boys who will go on any type of ride with me since Andy won’t (always will be crazy to me that he’ll fly an airplane and not go on a roller coaster). I think it’s looking promising with Jude and it’s too early to tell with Levi and Asher. But, given that the 2 little ones are generally dare devils, I think they will have inherited my affinity for all amusement park rides.
