This and That Thursday (on Sunday)...

Here are just some of the random things, thoughts and quotes that have occurred today in the Day and Life of the Row Family...

We tried (REALLY HARD I MIGHT ADD) to take the boys swimming this afternoon.

1st stop- Our YMCA: Closed for painting and sealing tile. What?!@# Who shuts down the pool on a weekend? Obviously someone who does NOT have children!

2nd stop- Mountlake Terrace Rec Center: Only open to scheduled parties on Sunday. Okay- that one is fair.

3rd (desperate) stop- Lynnwood Rec Center: They closed at 5...It is now 5:15 because we have been driving around trying to find a pool for over an hour.

Very long faces in the backseat now...unfortunately, there was no happy ending that found us at a pool.

First one up...
Okay- so we decided on just going to the old standby- McDonald's Playhouse. It worked. Now we have two McD's to choose from, and neither of them are close. Here is Morgan's sense of closeness...(with only a little bit of creative paraphrasing)...

Morgan: "Where are we going?"

One of the adults in the car: "To McDonald's."

Total silence for the next 2-3 minutes. (Well, probably not silence, but I sure don't remember what was said.) We are on the road to the one furtherest from home.

Morgan: "What?!@# We can't be going to THAT McDonald's, it's in AFRICA."

Again, total silence. What can you say to that?

Next one up...
Cade and Bob were having a super hero conversation on our drive home this evening. The conversation went something like this (sorta)...

Cade: "Daddy, do you know why Spiderman is red and blue? I do."

Bob: "Um, No Cade. I do not know why he is red and blue."

Cade: "Spiderman is Red and Blue and white with some black because he is for the United States."

Bob: "Never thought of that one Cade."

Good Night Everyone...
