Our plan to attend early mass did not work out at all. You see, when Darby woke me up this morning, mass was half over. So we reverted back to late mass, which worked out okay, but we then missed some loose lunch plans we had. Instead, the kids and I had lunch together after mass at Braum's and we got ice cream afterwards.
Lunch was followed by a visit to a used book store, where we got a few books for the girls. Shelby needs extra reading practice, and I'm trying to motivate her to reach her Book-It goal so she can get a free pizza (which she loves... the pizza, not the reading). So after the book store, we went to a park, at which point I let Darby go play and I told Shelby she could go play after she read half a book to me. She read her half a book quite well and took off to play. We weren't in a hurry to be anywhere, so we stayed at the park for about two hours. The only reason we left was because the girls ran out of beverages and were thirsty.
After quenching little thirts, we got Shelby a hair cut. She had been complaining for at least a week about her bangs being in her eyes. Here's a sort-of before-and-after (the before is from yesterday).
We had dinner out with my dad and his family, right after the hair cut, concluding our day's activities.
