This morning we met a friend at the Irvine Regional Park. We packed up our bikes and the bike trailer. Lots of stuff to take. We rode around the park, it was really a beautiful ride. The kids did great in the trailer, but they knew they would be richly rewarded with a train ride. After we went on the train. We saw a few more friends there then we went over to the pumpkin patch. The kiddos loved the hay maze, it was cute. Of course they got to go in the bounce house. I think they have been in a bounce house every day for the past 3 days. They loved it. There were pedal John Deere tractors there that the kiddos loved. Surprisingly they were able to pedal it mostly on their own. I, of course, forgot my camera. We played on the pumpkins then went to eat lunch. There were so many bees so we ate lunch in the back of the van. The kids actually loved it. We packed up all our stuff and headed home. Did an errand on the way home. The kiddos got some quiet TV time, Bob the Builder and Elmo’s World. All while daddy was fixing sprinklers and I was cleaning out things, getting rid of old sippy cups, etc. After TV we decided to get more things done around the house. Daddy read books while I vacuumed my car-it was a mess. After the kiddos and daddy helped me wash it. The kiddos were in a fighty mood for the rest of the afternoon. We had both kids melting down. For dinner we had burgers with sesame seed buns and Justin asks why are there rice krispies on my bun. Normally we would have laughed hard but we are tired and are losing patience. The kids played pretty well after dinner, thank goodness. Upstairs they were hiding on us and calling us ghosts. They loved when we came home, they screamed happily loud. Justin fell asleep during stories and Nicole is still talking, hopefully she will fall asleep soon.
