DAY ONE

          The day started out successful. I called a "family meeting" at the breakfast table and we went over what our days of summer will generally look like. For example, wake up crazy early, (not my idea) eat breakfast while attempting Bible Devotions, brush our teeth get dressed, feed chickens, pond fish and rabbits, and DON'T exhibit characteristics of "Rude Rodney."(I'll tell you more about him another time) Next up we adventured to the garage and "looked" for last years Slip and Slide, BUT since the garage is rather, ummmm, "clean," we were unsuccessful. SO, ME, being already encouraged from the positive beginnings of the day decided: "LETS GO TO TARGET and get a NEW Slipperoo!" Now, this does not happen, much.... ever. Me leaving the house with 5 boys is rather a very scary, vulnerable bold move. But I was crazy, and loaded them up. All of them. We arrived and the LORD had favor on me and right next to the van was the MEGA cart. The huge Mother Craft designed for crazy families like ours where strapping drown every possible child is a MUST. The one that says, "SO, you wanna carry more than your children in this cart and not drown them in products?Eh?? Pick me baby, we will be good together." How could I resist his huge basket, and 3 red seats WITH strong, black, child restraints. Clips and all. He had me at 'buckle.' Little did I know the man power it took to steer the thing, but HEY, we made it to the Slip and Slide isle while taking route through the store avoiding every possible place a toy might exist. AND, this might have been the ONLY time in The History of Christina, that I left Target with ONE, count it 1, item to purchase. ((so proud)) Got home (with a quick "Mommy is JUST getting coffee" McDonald's drive through moment) and set it up.
Rubber and water were destined to be together. End of Story. It was a blast.

Band-aid Count: 2 ((but Hey, its only 3:14...))
