Our preschool class had a field trip today. To a giant bounce house playground. Yes, it was awesome.
So awesome that when I was installing Missy Hoohaw in her car seat, I realized she had wet pants. I have no idea when this happened, and they weren't so wet that she was dripping, but there was definitely an accident. And she never said a word. Now that is fun.
It was a great place to play. Two rooms, one set up for toddlers, one for bigger kids. The big kid room had a large obstacle course type bounce house with several small slides. There was also a large slide (so fun and Big Red's absolute favorite thing ever), a large bounce house and an American Gladiator style house with platforms and joust sticks. Oh. My. God. I didn't get in there and challenge the other mommies to a go 'round, but oh, I wanted to. I would have settled for a big preschooler. But 'twas not to be.
The kids ran between rooms and the mommies either talked or ran after their offspring. I was a runner, owing to the fact that Big Red had tagged along and was on fire. That child was in monkey heaven. Climbing, sliding, jumping and tumbling, the child never stopped moving.
I topped off this fun day with a trip to WienerSchnitzel. Missy has never had a corn dog and her expression on taking her first bite was priceless. She swallowed and said, "Oh my! That is quite good! I think I'll eat it all!" Too funny. And totally worth the guilt of feeding them crap for lunch.
I'm exhausted, but I have a feeling that nap time is going to be awesome today. Both are so tired they can hardly chew. That has to bode well, right? Right?

Welcome to My World
It's a crazy one. Here's the guide.
Mr. Clairol: My darling husband and love of my life. He's a mechanic, dyes his hair platinum blond and drives to work on a Vespa. I swear he isn't gay.
Drama Queen: My fourteen year old daughter who is frighteningly brilliant and gorgeous to boot. Of course, I am her mother.
Missy Hoohaw: The four year old daughter. She loves animals and roughhousing and earned her name by being a 28 year old Marine in a preschooler's body. No, she doesn't swear and drink. But she can run twenty miles in the rain and give a mighty Hoo-rah.
Big Red: Our toddler son, who is redheaded and proud of it. He's got a healthy temper and the sweetest smile this side of the Mississippi, so it evens out. I was worried about defending him from his sisters at first. Now, I worry about the girls.
The Beast: Our dog, who is a mutt, heavy on the Great Dane. He's named after a heavy metal guitarist in my husband's all time favorite band. This says it all, believe me.
This is my life. Try not to be too jealous.
