Turned into a busy day. We were out and about early. We tried to go to the library early but it wasn’t open yet, so we headed to Target across the street. I got Justin some “daddy” shoes, like his topsiders, so cute. We went over the library for the event. Before the event we went into the library and got some new books-it is amazing and great about how excited the kids get about books. It was something called One World Rythm. It was obviously all about music. All the kids got to play with little instruments, it was really cute. Really cute until Nicole wanted what Justin got, ugh. Nicole is still a little on the cranky side. Anyway the kids really liked it. After we rushed out of there to go to our friend’s pool. We went over to Michelle’s pool (Rio’s mommy). The kids were excited to see one another. My kiddos wanted to swim in the big pool but I forgot my bathing suit, ugh. For the most part they listened and stayed close to the stairs with their floaties. The baby pool was freezing compared to the big pool. Justin had a little trouble getting back to the stairs a couple of times but overall did ok. Nicole loved playing with Rio’s floating baby in the pool. Nicole and Justin did not want to get out of the pool so I don’t think they even ate lunch until about 1:30. Nicole was so sad when we had to leave. I was crazy today so we ran home and took showers as fast as we could then we were out again. The kids had so much fun spraying with the shower head, I hated to rush them but they wanted to go to the library storytime and craft. The story time was all about pigs today-the kids made pig puppets. So cute and lots of glue. Then the kids told me they needed some exercise so we ran around the park area outside of the library. When we got home dad read all the library books we checked out. The kids helped pick a lot of the tomatoes. We now have so many tomatoes. I bought this new kid’s pool to try out, so after dinner we got it out just to see if it would work. What was I thinking? The kids saw something new and got into their bathing suits and in they went. They were so funny and loving it, laying in it, getting the hair all wet, etc. They were having so much fun, it was so cute to listen to and watch. Too bad the pool wasn’t as great as I thought so I may take it back. The kids saw us eating some of dad’s birthday cake and wanted some. Justin went inside and got a big fork. So funny. So we all ate cake then it was time to come in. The kids were still crazy, playing with all their balls. We went upstairs and the kids got ready for bed. Nicole wanted to sleep in the dress she had on, so we let her. The kids played car wash and then read lots of books. They want me to find books they haven’t read in a while. They were pretty tired and went right to sleep.
