This morning we ran to Target to get a few things. I ended up buying the kiddos a guitar and car roller skates. Just what they needed was more toys. The kids were so great at Target. After we went to Lisa’s (Chase & Alyssa) for play group. The kiddos had fun, they wanted to play outside. Justin found a rocket launcher thing that he loved and Nicole was really into being pulled in the wagon. After we ended up going to Vena’s for playtime and lunch. Justin immediately headed up to their room upstairs that has the trains. He was happy as can be. Nicole played all downstairs and liked driving Cole & Grants golf car and mini cooper. The kids all ate lunch together, so cute. Justin loved Vena’s fried rice. We came home and the kiddos put their kickboards in the back of the cars and pretended they were going to the beach. Then they brought them inside and they were swimming in the ocean, they said. We built a track and the kids played so nicely. I let the kiddos helpe me prepare dinner, so scary over the hot stove but they listened well. We played Candyland and Hi Ho Cheerio. The kids are loving games, then I let them watch some TV. After TV the kiddos drove their cars and then Mikey, Katie, and Sarah came over. We babysat tonight so Paula and hubby could go out. We played outside with all the kids until it got dark. Nicole and Justin were happy to have their friends here. We all had dinner together then we put out the play doh. The girls stuck together and the boys did too. Justin and Mikey played trains and all the girls played baby. We went in the backyard with flashlights and played. The kids got into the water so we were worried about how cold it was, so we came back in and played. My kiddos were tired and went right to bed. All in all it went great with 5 kids and I am glad we can do this for them and they can do it for us.
