The kids slept in a bit. I was glad since they went to bed a little late but stressful on a pre school morning. I stayed at school for a bit to do some paperwork, it was fun hanging out with the kids. I then ran a few errands and came back to school early. A mom asked me if I could work a half hour of her shift. So cute N&J were so excited to see me. We were outside for the last half hour and I just had fun playing with the kids, parachute and red light/green light. We played outside for a bit and saw a cute little puppy. So cute watching the kids run with the puppy. We came home and had a quick lunch. Then I headed out to try to find a birthday present for a party tomorrow. Taking the kids to a toy store while I am in a hurry is not a good idea. Actually the kids did really well-I bought something but am hoping I have time to run out in the morning to get something different. I got a sprinkler thing that is so cute but not sure how practical it is. After the toy store we went to Grammy’s. Buffi and Mark were heading home tonight, so we wanted to spend one last day with them. I brought bubbles and chalk over so the kids did that for a bit. They loved showing off their chalk drawings. So funny all of a sudden I heard the kids trying to come in and I wasn’t sure why they were hurrying in, then they said scary Buffi is coming and they ran, so silly. Buffi and I took the kiddos for a walk to 7-11. The kids put on their sunglasses and we were good to go. The kids enjoyed reading lots of books with Grammy outside while I got some time to talk to Mark. Even thought Grammy had some tasty snacks I thought it would be fun to go for a walk. The kids loved it, they saw a police car, loved picking out a snack. They chose fig newtons of all things. On the way back we went to the little park by Grammy’s and saw bunny’s, dogs, etc. They had fun at the park. They climbed up the play structure and were pretending Pete (from Mickey Mouse ClubHouse) was at the top. They went down the spiral thing a ton of times. By the time we headed back to Grammy’s daddy was there. The kids watched a little TV and we all had dinner and the kids couldn’t wait for the strawberry cake for dessert. And it was yummy! It was a really fun afternoon. The kids pounced on us for a bit and we pretended to throw them into the pool. Dad took Buffi and Mark to LAX while the kids and I drove daddy’s car and came home. So proud of Justin for holding his pee, poor guy really had to pee but I took a chance and didn’t pull over and he made it. After all the water he drank, I was surprised he was able to make it. The kids needed some play time and finally went to bed around 8:40. I read them books and told stories tonight. Just waiting for daddy to come home now.
