Monday
This morning we ran out so I could get a blood test for a routine doctor app’t next week. The kids just watched and I smiled the whole time. After we came home. The kids wanted to play at home and I was able to get some stuff done. Lots of toys went upstairs and downstairs. A mess always gets started if I don’t watch 100% of the time. They pretended to sleep on the stairs saying it was their bunk beds. They just learned about bunk beds. Their imagination is just incredible. They read books and played really well. The kids said they wanted pancakes for lunch, so pancakes they had. They thought it was really silly which made it even more fun. We had our My Gym class today. I love Mondays class as it is not really crowded but there is a really badly behaved boy. Nicole called him the green boy today as he was wearing a green shirt. They had a great time at My Gym and did some new things on the parallel bars, crawled on them like a bear. I tried to get to class early so I could play with the kiddos. Mostly we had fun jumping on the trampoline. I had fun watching the kiddos. On the way home we stopped at Toys “R” Us to get a gift for a birthday party we ae going to this weekend. The girl (Jane) is into bugs, that was a challenging present to find. Of course a toy store with the kids takes a while. The kiddos got some big shovels and hulla hoops. They wanted to go to the park right away and use their shovels, however, they needed a bath. They are going on day 3 without a bath. The kiddos had fun in bath. Before getting in they used their shovels to put all the bath toys in. After bath I was getting cranky for some reason-probably just off from the blood test this morning and I was off on eating. So I took control put the kiddos in the Bob stroller and I jogged to Blue Gum Park. The kids were thrilled to go to the park to be able to use their shovels. If I started walking, Justin asked why I stopped running so I ran. Hard to run with the jogger stroller. We had so much fun at the park. They used their shovels and made “sand” cakes. They patted it, stirred it with a stick, and put it in the oven. They also grabbed some books out of the stroller, The Diego Wolf Pup One and Snow White. They books were used as maps. We searched for the wolf pups and the birds from the Snow White book. It was fun hanging out with the kids. The play structure was a boat so we steered it to rescue the animals. We also slid down the slide over and over again. They sat on my lap then one of the kids would push the two of us down. Being with the kiddos at the park was just what I needed to get out of my mood. Dad made some spaghetti and when we got home it was already. We were all hungry. After dinner the kiddos watched a little bit of the Tigger Movie. Now Nicole is pretending to be Roo and we are Kanga. Justin said he liked the movie Cars better. The kids played with money for a bit then we read some books. The kiddos gave us lots of hugs, so sweet.
