DJ took Friday of last week off as well as Thursday for the trip to Heise so we decided to take the kids roller skating. There is a really fun and inexpensive rink here in town and ever since the kids went there for a birthday party they've begged to go back. Anyway, we brought Porter and Kamryn along again and this time, DJ sat with them while I rollerskated with the kids. I haven't had that much fun in a long time!! It was the funniest sight watching Kaleb (2 1/2 try to stay up on skates. He was so determined even after falling smack down on his bum time after time. Everytime he'd get up with a big grin on his face and try it again. (I guess for once I'm glad he had a diaper on for a little padding or his little bum would've been one big black and blue mess) Regan and Morgan are really good at skating because they spend a ton of time rollerblading in our driveway but Jordyn wasn't so confident so I spent most of the time helping she and Kaleb stay vertical and I got pretty good at skating with them right in front of me while they held my hands which they thought was pretty fun. Morgan and Regan came a long once in a while and grabbed their hands to take them for a little ride. We had the funnest 3 hours and by the end, Kaleb and Jordyn were starting to get the hang of skating. I love watching my kids learn new things and love to see them enjoying life!! Oh, and the best part was that the babies didn't make a peep the whole time which is amazing because the music was so loud and obnoxious. I told DJ that we need to find a CD with all kinds of loud noises and put it in their room at night then they might sleep through the night.
