Paid In Blessings

So I'm not one to brag about how amazing my two little girls are, however on days like this one... I just can't hold back on how truly amazing these two are. It was one of those days where being a SAHM (stay at home mom) was about to kick my rear, however I woke up and realized I will conquer this day before it conquers me ... So we got dressed and ready to go and hit the park first thing in the am (about 9:30ish) so Faith could get her wiggles out, before the car ride. On a side note Felicity was looking pretty cute ;)

 

After spending about and hour and a half at the park it was time for lunch, however I needed to get gas in my car, with these prices I practically cry when I put my forty dollars in the machine and watch it disappear in a liquid I can not consume... Oh how I love my coffee... random I know anyways so after getting gas oh yeah and did a diaper change while I was waiting... I hit the road again and decided to grab lunch at the delicious In N Out burger, however this momma couldn't just drive threw... I unloaded both girls and we dined in (during lunch hour mind you) It went surprisingly well !! Even the trip to the public restroom for Faith went okay ... I will spare you the details...

Insert photo here of girls and I at In N Out (No I didn't take one... close your eyes and picture us there :) )

Okay so now that we are all full we loaded back up in the car, and headed to stop #2 my old dentist office to get a copy of my x-rays. Felicity fell asleep on the way there thankfully and Faith was just wanting to go play in the creek water... which I promised we would do after my dentist appointment. So every 2 seconds she would ask... Can we go play in the water now? What about ice cream ? (another promise I made)
We got to stop #2 and I unloaded the girls went up the flight of stairs, grabbed my xrays and went back down the flight of stairs and loaded the girls back up (easier said than done) remember Felicity is 12lbs and I had her in the carrier (another 10lbs) and Faith in the other hand (a jumping 3.5 year old) however like I said my girls are amazing.

Sorry no photo of us at Stop #2 ... Nothing too exciting

Since we had some time to spare I decided to make a little bit of a detour Stop #3... Enjoy :) Cartoon Cow is my favorite !! and Faith LOVED feeding all the animals and decided Grandma and Grandpa need some on their "farn" (not a typo)

They both posed and smiled so cute :)

 Cartoon Cow can't help but want a taste :)

 We saw these 2 little guys when they were born... So cute TWINS !!

We hit the road again and after another 35 min drive we arrived at our destination ... so I thought... Felicity started getting hungry and fussy, Faith decided her sister was being to loud and had to repeatedly tell me and the jerk behind me decided to let me know he was a jerk and repeatedly honk at me to turn as if it was helping the situation and I ended up going the wrong way... so after figuring out where I was on my GPS I did a "U ey" and got back on track and eventually parked at our destination, stop #4 and we were early (thankfully) because we had to find building E ... and when you have a baby in a stroller and an old apartment like building transformed into offices labeled A - Z it equals a not so fun adventure. Climbing up one flight of stairs with a stroller wasn't too bad though, and we finally made it. My dentist appointment went well.... and I don't need as big of a procedure as I thought... long story short it can be done with a laser in about 30 minutes !! Way better than surgery ... Sweet :) Thanks to Donald's cousin Tyla for watching the girls during my appt and for hooking me up with a good dentist (she is the office manager)

So I loaded up the girls once again and headed toward the creek water, stop #5,  at this time I was starting to get a little beat, however a promise is a promise and Faith was so good !! So I let her play for a bit in the water...

 

It was a little short lived, but we had to go and I also promised ice cream, however the ice cream shop that use to be there wasn't, so we walked a little ways with no luck and ended up loading back up in the car... at this point I was ready to crash and burn so I just hit the freeway and headed home, almost an hour with rush hour traffic, SO luckily the hubby was willing to meet me and the local ice cream shop so I was able to do a drive by and drop Faith off with him and go home and relax with Miss Felicity... 

After days like these I get to reflect on how good our God really is, he blessed me with two truly amazing girls and a wonderful husband who allows me to be a stay at home mom. After a long 8 hour day I didn't get paid with money or riches but I got paid in blessings and that is plenty for me :)
