Day 296

Friday is here once again and I am enjoying the happy moment of being able to say it is Friday!  We had a busy day today, several melt downs, and some interesting times, but happy moments along the way.  So here they are tonight bullet style...because it has been a while!

• Connor and I hit up the Great Park in Irvine for a few hours today to enjoy the free carousel rides...4 of them to be exact.  We rode the big orange balloon (all the while I kept my eyes looking out and NOT trying to think what would happen if the big cable snapped and we floated away lol)  Connor had a fun time looking out this time and wanted to find the carousel on the ground. 
• After our balloon ride, we met up with some moms from a local mom's group and we had lunch while the boys played.  It was nice spending time with friends!
• Throughout the day I got a lot of texts from various friends saying hello and wanting to get together soon...it made my day!  I love getting texts from people I haven't seen in a while and I am really excited about seeing some friends soon!
• We went up to Orange today to do an interview with a company.  Joel did some product testing and then got a nice toy for it!  After (ok after 2 hours of not being able to start my car and getting my battery replaced by AAA...not so happy lol) we went to In and Out for dinner.  Joel has been wanting to go there for FOREVER.  He was happy to get to go and then we headed home.  I put Connor to bed and Joel got to play with his new toy for a while tonight.

It was fun to play with the boys today and I am glad that I got to spend alone time with each one of them.  I am really looking forward to this weekend and all of the fun times we are going to have!  Hope everyone has a dad they will be thinking of (or father figure) this weekend!
