The kiddos are loving Rice Krispies for breakfast, that is their favorite cereal these days. We went to Target this morning to buy some gifts for friend’s birthdays. We had fun in the empty store just taking our time. Then we headed to Krish’s birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. Neyha and gang are down here visiting, so we were so happy to celebrate Krish’s 3rd birthday. The kids had a great time at Chuck E Cheese. They loved holding on to their own cups of tokens and putting the tokens in themselves. And of course the cake was the highlight! It was nice to see some old friends. After we headed to a homestore that was closing to look for lights for the kids room and futon room. Nicole has been so whiny, driving me crazy. They both wanted to come home. So home we went. The kids played with their new umbrellas they got. I gardened for a while and the kids played outside by me. Dad mowed the lawn. Then the kiddos drove their cars. Nicole wore her helmet and kept it on while watching TV, silly girl. Then we gave the kiddos showers and bath. Nicole wanted to shower so dad showered with her. I was busy giving Justin a bath. He said he didn’t want me to come in the bath with him. But he decided he wanted me and told me to take off my boobies (I think he met bra) and necklace. Justin and I threw water balls into dad’s and Nicole’s shower. They loved throwing the balls back and forth. It was fun as we realize we may not be able to take baths/showers with our kids much longer. Then we decided to go to the Spectrum. Nicole was so unhappy though, kept on saying she was cold. I wanted to run into Nordstroms, so Nikki and I went while dad and Justin went to put our name in at Cheesecake Factory. All of a sudden when Nicole got me alone she was the happiest kid in the world. I bought makeup and she gave me credit card to the lady and loved helping me. She played on all the chairs/couches and helped me look at shoes. We met dad and Justin and had a great dinner. The kids did great but were really hungry. Of course the kiddos wanted to ride the carousal, still Justin rides the ostrich and Nicole the bunny. When we got home it was a litte late. Luckily we can get the kids to move pretty quickly if we pretend to race. The kids wanted to play with money and have no stories or books. They had a ball pouring the bowl out and putting the coins back in as fast as possibe then dumping them out, etc. It was great they played so nicely together. They went right to bed too.
