Not according to plan

Well, last Thursday did not go according to plan. I had an appointment to get my hair done and my dear MIL was babysitting the girls for me. I had some things that need to be taken back to several different stores and get my oil changed - you know the stuff that is easier to do with out the kids - so the "plan" was for me to do these errands before getting my hair done and David was going to take the girls to his mom's before going to work since he doesn't leave the house until 11:15 a.m. Well, the phone rang at 6:04 a.m. and it was David's work. They were canceling his run and offered him another run so he had to go in early in the morning. There went my plans for the morning. Now granted it was a longer run and he would get home earlier I was in a snit that my plans were ruined. Yes, I could have asked my MIL if I could bring the girls earlier but I hated to impose on her any more than I already was. Well, I got my hair done, picked up the girls, gave them their naps and then cooked supper. We (me and the girls) ate supper and they wanted to go swimming. Well, I knew David would be home soon so I told them we would once he got home and ate. We went outside about 8:00 and stayed out until almost 9:30. We would throw Sophia in the air to one another and would throw Olivia in the air with her floaties and ring on. They had a blast. Since we were all in the pool I have no pictures but at one point I told David "This makes not getting my errands ran today so worth it." Olivia is going to start swim lessons this week with her friend S. Hopefully, she will do well. Here are a few pics from their last photo session.
