Yeah it is Friday! This morning we stayed at home for a bit. We played farm but Nicole sys I don’t play it right. I worked on fixing Justin’s skateboard leash thing, so it was like a nice new toy. Justin put his new green teddy on it (the one he won in Vegas) and took it for a ride. Nicole put the leash around Lion’s neck and took him for a walk. I packed up to go to the OC Coast Guard for Justin’s monster machine class in Corona Del Mar. I was able to bring Nicole along in the class. The kids got to take a tour on the big coast guard boat and see where the coast guard eats, sleeps, etc when on the boat. The kids liked being on the boat and looking all around. They listened pretty well but I am not sure they knew what was going on-just that they were on a pretty cool boat. After with Paula and gang we went over the ocean. By the time I got back from the car from getting our beach stuff and lunch, the kids were pretty wet. They had a great time playing in the water and with all their sand toys. We had a picnic lunch and the kids just had so much fun. They were tired on the way home. Nicole wanted to put her jammies on when we got home. It is pretty cloudy so I think she thinks it is going to get dark soon. The kids played trains for a bit and built a new track. Then we did major gardening, I am amazed to say I have touched every area of my garden. This is the first time in 4 years. The kids helped me so much, they were great. Dad got home and we made dinner. We ran out to see Zoe the dog on the greenbelt, we haven’t seen her in so long. The kids threw ball for her. After dinner dad played trains a bit then we all went on the greenbelt. The kids climbed the ladder I used for the hedges, they were so happy to reach a tree. We played duck duck goose and red light/green light. Then the kiddos rode their bikes and scooters. We headed upstairs a little late as they kids were having so much fun riding their bikes. They are getting more and more daring on their bikes. The kids played with money before bed. They made drive thrus and pushed little cars through. They even ordered food. We read a few books and the kids went to sleep pretty fast.
