Trying to be Patient!

On Tuesday May 11, a driver hit the front of my van. We were all okay, but it has changed my day to day life! She did not have auto insurance, and so my insurance and myself are left to pay the bill!! Unfortunately, my policy did not include coverage for a rental car. I have decided that you never know what you should have, or what you do not have in a policy, until it is to late! Oh, well! Such is life! So, basically I have been without a vehicle for almost three weeks. (Ben's truck is a stick shift, and I do not know how to drive it!) I have had to make some adjustments to my lifestyle. I very rarely stay home for more than one day in a week. So, since my van is in the shop, we have been walking or staying home a lot more lately! One day, the kids wanted to play in the water. It was much to cold for that, and so I filled their little pool with warm water from the house one pot at a time!! They had a blast!

On another day, we decided to go on a "Grand Adventure"! We walked and rode bikes all over town!

On one of our water breaks the kids wanted me to take pictures of themselves with silly faces!

We stopped at McDonalds! It took us over an hour to ride bikes to McDonald's, but it was well worth it to my kids!

She had a great time!

She really wanted me to take this picture!

They think it will take another week or so for my van to be fixed! We will be looking at three and half to four weeks!! Hopefully it will be fixed soon, but until it is we will be trying to make the best of it!
