I was really tired today. Caleb woke up at his normal 6:30AM, but this morning he went into the other bedroom and woke up the Noah and Dawson. I barely managed to change diapers and make some drinks. I'm usually pretty lucid in the morning. Sarah had a migraine, but I had to get her up because I was just not together.

Since we were all up anyway, we loaded everyone up and went to Farm Fresh. They have carts with a plastic car cab in the front. They boys always pick one out and stay pretty happy the whole time. It has two steering wheels and places to sit, so Caleb and Noah can "drive" at the same time. They also like swapping seats without getting out. They all had breakfast at the store while we were shopping. Bananas, pretzels, grapes, and goldfish are always great in the morning. Dawson was shocked by the salt on the pretzel, but in the end he was covered in brown slop.

I tried a POM tea. It's pomegranate juice and black tea mixed. I thought it was okay. I usually get a pomegranate/cherry juice at Farm Fresh, but I thought I'd try something else. I don't really care much for the other POM juice mixes. Blueberry and mango with pomegranate just don't work for me. I do like the pure pomegranate juice is pretty tasty. It's expensive stuff though -- $4 for a 16oz bottle.

My mom gave us a blender, so Sarah bought tons of fruit to make smoothies. Noah will eat them, so she's going to try getting him to eat some fruit by sneaking it into one. Either way, I'm sure Caleb and Dawson will eat all of it.

We tried to go to IHOP for pancakes afterward, but we ended at Lone Star. They are supposed to have a kids eat free thing on Saturday morning, but apparently you have to order them an actual meal on the kids menu. We just got them milk and some french fries. That's cheaper, but we would have had to get a more expensive kid's meal for it to be free. Good stuff.

We just hung out for the rest of the day. We had a little nap, watched some TV, played in the pool a bit, etc. I had to add some water to the pool because the other day Noah and Caleb tried to climb out of the pool at the same time on the same side. They weigh just enough together to make the side squish down and dump out the water. They had a blast playing with the hose. I wish I'd taken pictures. The baby and I sat in the swing some. He was pretty tired all day.

The nanny was supposed to watch the boys tonight while we went over to some people's house for a worship and prayer get-together. The nanny's mother showed up in town today, so she called and canceled. Tomorrow we're going to the evening service at church because Georgian Banov is going to be there. He's a great guy. If you don't know him, I couldn't describe him fittingly. He's nuts in a good kind of way, and he really knows how to worship.
