We had a lazy morning today. The kids just played for a while. Nicole and I ran to the grocery store. I finally made it there. Boring thing to do on a weekend. Grammy and her friend came over. Grammy wanted to see the kid’s rooms and the kids loved showing her. We all went out for lunch. The kids were really busy at lunch and hanging all over me. Nicole has a new favorite pink bear that she has named Beary. She has been taking it everywhere. After lunch the kids and I went through some of their toys. I want to start cleaning out the toys they don’t play with anymore. We didn’t get rid of as much as I hoped but it is a start. Getting things out though makes them play with everything. We played at home most of the afternoon. We played with these snap bead things and made bracelets and necklaces. Justin turned his into a really long snake. We were getting a little bored inside so we went out front. The kids drove their cars and had a great time. They ran in the house and drove around with a book on the back of their car. They were looking for a shady spot to get out for a story time. I just loved watching them play, so sweet. And Nicole has become quite the parallel parker. Dad had to do some work tonight. So the kids and I went to Blue Gum. Justin rode his bike and Nicole got in the trailer. Justin is doing so well on his bike. He did say when he was going to bed that the bike ride made him tired. We were only at the park for a short time but we made the most of it. We played in the sand of the volleyball court. Then threw the ball over the net. Justin got it almost every time, Nicole still needs a little more practice. We played soccer too. When we got home the kiddos had dinner. And we went upstairs to start getting ready for bed. We read lots of books and off to sleep they went.
