Yeah it is Friday. The kids slept in a bit this morning. We just played at home this morning. We did the pretend grocery store then packed up our pretend lunches and had a pretend picnic. I tried to clean up a bit too to get ready for a play group. The kids were constantly calling for me during play group. Overall the kids had fun but were pretty needy. One of Nicole’s friends did dress up, so that got Nicole all into dress up it was so cute. It was nice to catch up with my mom friends. The kids wanted to walk their friends out to their cars. Justin went to get the mail and Nicole decided to meltdown. She was so mad she wanted to get the mail too. She just cried and cried. I know she was hungry too as it was lunch time, so I am sure that didn’t help. After lunch we went and did an errand. Justin got this cool helicopter that shoots balls out; it is an awesome toy. He was really excited about it. The kids had to take a bath since we were going on 3 days without a bath. I let them use bath crayons which they hadn’t used in a while and they loved it. They were drawing all over the tub. After bath Justin stayed naked for a while and Nicole had to change her outfit again. We played Bingo and then dad came home. Dad joined in and played some games. While we were making dinner the kids played in the backyard and I did some gardening too. It was time to pull out the majority of the carrots and green beans, the tomato plants have officially taken over. After dinner we decided to go for a walk and the kids wanted to take their brooms with them. We ended up at the little park (Carrotwood park) across Eastwood. The kids had so much fun. They made sand pie and a bucket of pie, according to Nicole. They climbed and went down slides. They really needed to get out. Justin has been injuring himself all afternoon and evening. He bumped his head on the glass table, hit his foot on the play trash truck, and fell on the street. Pooe little guy. We went upstairs and got ready for bed. We read lots of books. Nicole told me I was a bad mommy because I didn’t let them watch TV. I guess this won’t be the first time I hear this. My mistake I asked her if she would rather play games or watch TV-I should have known she would say watch TV.
