Hamilton Happenings

For Ryan's 8th birthday we got him a coupon for a sleepover at the Hamilton Home.  I picked him up on Friday and headed to our house.  We enjoyed spending some extra time with this smart, kind, energetic, easily distracted nephew.  Here are some pictures I took.  The kids helped Justin make a great fire!  Hotdogs and fruit for dinner.  S'mores for dessert. I kept Isaac entertained with some leftover spaghetti and meatballs for his dinner.   We love being outside! Channing sure loves his hotdogs! Happy cousins! Aftermath of the speghetti and meatballs.  Do you see the hand print on his forehead? This is livin'! Ryan was very interested in catching his stick on fire. After dinner and dessert we went to see the baby ducks and played at the exercise park.  Ryan said, "This is the best sleepover ever!" Isaac was having a rough day with a cold and refusing to nurse.  But he was so happy to be on a walk with us. Events no

Went to Walmart after picking Channing up from preschool.  The kids did really well in the store.  That's always a miracle in itself.  Getting a free cookie from the bakery is a great incentive.  Got the kids locked in their carseats and loaded the groceries.  I sat in the drivers seat and scanned my receipt into my savings catcher on the Walmart app.  Then I noticed that I was charged three times for a loaf of bread.  But I only bought one loaf of bread.  Gosh darnit.  If I was by myself I would've walked back in the store and talked to customer service.  But I have three kids in the car, not worth it!  I hate being charged for something I didn't buy! Even if it ended up being less than $4 out of my pocket.  Still!  I sat in the parking lot, waiting for a solution to present itself.  With Mckenzie kicking the back of my seat I decided to call and see if I could talk to someone about it.  Thank goodness for smart phones and being able to look up phone numbers on the fly.
