I woke up bright and early and walked with some friends. Nicole decided to wake up bright and early too-ugh. It was nice walking before Bret went to work. Justin slept in a bit this morning. We just stayed home and played. Nicole liked throwing the ball on string (from t-ball) over the wall to the green belt then she would pull it back over. Justin was busy getting everything in the backyard wet. I set up the shake and go race car set so we played for that for a bit. Besides that a really nice morning at home. We had a play group here this morning. It was really nice and the kids played well. It was nice to hang out with the moms too. The kids all had lunch together. I am still looking forward to the day when the kids can play by themselves for more than 5 minutes. Nicole and Justin couldn’t wait to show me the mess upstairs. So then we got it all cleaned up and N&J made an even bigger mess that they were so proud of. It was amusing. They kept on calling me upstairs to see how much bigger their mess was. Well sitting playing grocery store with the kiddos all of a sudden Nicole gets kind of quiet and weird. She looks at me with teary eyes and tells me she swallowed money. She showed me a plastic dime and said thats what she swallowed. After reading on the internet what to do, we are just going to wait it out and watch her. Ugh. I gave the kiddos a bath, well Justin wanted a shower in the fishy bathroom but Nicole wanted a bath. I gave Justin a shower first and then went to give Nicole a bath. Justin got in the bath anyway, silly guy. We had snack and played for a bit. The kids were busy using the couch as a gymnastics thing, they were doing summer saults. Dad came home a little early. We decided to go get some pizza tonight, after we went to the park and had a great time. There was this, the only way to describe it is as a balance beam/see saw. The kids just loved it. They also learned to slide down poles. They were busy kids at the park, there was this twirly chair that went faster and faster. We had never been to this park. Dad and J walked down this little path, so cute when they got back up Justin was telling me so intensly about it and the office buildings (you had to be there). Of course we are paying for the fun as it is 8:30 and the kiddos aren’t sleeping yet. They are upstairs talking.
