Fun filled day

Faith and Wilson with the baby mouse house

The fun never ends here at the Dressler house!  Today we were out of the house by 8:30, took all 3 kids with me to the chiropractor, and then took Wilson to the dentist at 10:30.  Luckily, no cavities!  Yeah!  After that the kids need to run off some energy so we went to William Davie Park off Rae Road.  We call it “the big playground”.  It is huge and it is fenced in, which is always nice.  We played there for almost two hours.  They have such a great time playing together.  Now that they are older, Faith and Wilson can play for hours at the playground without getting bored or tired.  As long as I bring snacks, and the weather isn’t too hot, we can play all morning long.

When we got home, there was a tiny little surprise waiting for us on the kitchen floor….a baby mouse!  I stepped on it by accident when I walked in the house, and I screamed like a little girl.  I think I am braver with a snake than a tiny little baby mouse.  I finally got the sense to put a tupperware container over it so that it couldn’t get away.  We just sat and watched the little thing and wondered what to do with it.  Amazingly, Wilson was the one that started to cry and say that he didn’t want it to die (which I had been saying would probably happen since it was so small and I had stepped on it).  I have to remind myself that Wilson is only two years old.  He is so tough on the outside that I forget that he is still so sweet and soft on the inside.

We ended up making a little home for the mouse in another tupperware container – complete with paper towel and bread crumbs.  My dad eventually come over to take the mouse “to the woods to be with his friends”.  I think that I will be having nightmares about this one!  The big question at hand is:  Where are all his brothers and sisters?????

Miller's first ice cream cone

For dinner we went to Chic Fil A to meet an old friend of mine, Kristen Maines.  Her sister lives in Mint Hill so we get together whenever she comes to town to visit.  Tonight she had her nephews with her so a dinner date was perfect.  The kids played on the playground while we chatted.  Miller had his first ice cream cone tonight.  As you can see, he loved it!  He kept diving in for more.   Literally, the sweetest baby ever…
