I'm not exactly sure on all the details but when we pulled up to the bus drop off for the Ft. Bridger kids, a teacher was informing all the parents that the Ft. Bridger school was closed today because of a broken water line. The rest of the district had water and would be in session. So, to make a long story short, Spencer got a day off and Adam went to school. Woot~Woot! Spencer actually loves school, so at the beginning he was upset.

Then he realized he got Sara and me all to himself all morning. He was so excited to help out with Sara and 'talk' with me. He was more than willing to walk Lily to her classroom so he could visit with Miss Holly. He also got to help Grandma Bates in and out of places as I was running her around. Arlene called and we all had lunch with her. It was fun to have just him without Adam. It was a calm day with only one of my boys. He definitely didn't mind missing school by the end of the day. And it was nice to have him without the constant badgering, fighting/wrestling/kicking the crap out of each other, screaming, yelling, whining that comes along with having your younger brother around. Broken water lines are not always a bad thing.

In other Bates news, Miss Sara Rose has learned how to climb on the couch. She thinks she's so big. She has also fallen in love with books. She loves the ones that you can feel different textures and has very bright colors. She'll grab a book, climb on the couch, grunt at you, point to the book and snuggle close so you can read to her. This climbing on everything is going to give me a heart attack. She already has the fairest of fair skin and bruises really easy. I think goose eggs, followed by massive bonks and broken bones are next. Toddlerhood rocks!

Later, when Adam got home life resumed. It was a calm day though, which was kinda weird. Adam and Lily were dancing together. Adam's version of dancing is a little rougher than Lily's but still, they were playing together and getting along great. We watched Space Balls and Barbie (don't tell my boys I said that) and just had a great time together. Life is truly worth living. Broken water lines, Spaceballs, and all.
