An Early Morning...

Had to get my "I-really-really-REALLY-hate-mornings" butt out of bed before the sun even came up Saturday morning.  Ugh.  I almost didn't.  I almost just rolled back over.  I almost said, "Ah...no biggie."  I almost missed out on spending a great morning with my boys!

Home Depot was having their kids build clinic.  I had signed up Zach & Liam earlier in the week.  It is Fire Safety month, and with their Cub Scout Pack going to be going over Emergency Readiness...I thought this would be a great thing to tie in with it!  I read that they would also get a LEGO set as well.  I knew Liam, my amazing little builder, would LOVE that!  But what I didn't know...is that they had much more going on that day as well! 

We started off building their Fire Rescue Plane...and painting them...













Then they wanted to visit the Chick-fil-a booth where we got to spin the wheel for some coupons for FREE FOOD!!  Zach also got the cow headband to wear!  :)




Next was visiting the Fire Truck & Firefighter...













The hay bale place was after...








Face painting....










 







Then back to the hay bales...

 









....and back to the Fire Truck....









We ran into some friends while we were there!  Which was great to see!  There was also a hay ride!!

After we did all we could do, we took our Chick-fil-a coupons...and went to have lunch!  I fed all three of us for like $3.42!!  The boys put together their LEGO Fire Trucks, and we played the card games that came with their kids' meals!  :)











While at Chick-fil-a, a woman came up to me and asked me if Zach always walked on his toes.  I said, yes, he always has from the time he first was learning how to walk.  She was thrilled!!  Isn't that kinda strange?  But she said she had NEVER seen another child walk on their toes like HER boy did!  We talked back and forth until our food was ready.  Zach said it was really cool to hear about another boy like him! 

I am truly grateful that I pulled myself out of bed this morning...I had an amazing time hanging out with these two awesomely cool guys!  I love them both so very much!  They are really growing up...and I still can not believe my "baby" just turned 8yo.  I'm so blessed to have had such a wonderful morning with these two...should never miss an opportunity to spend with them!
