We decided to not do as much as we thought we would. We didn’t want to be running around all day. We had a great day. My neck and back are still sore though-ugh I am sick of it. We read the paper and took it easy for a bit. Then we headed to the grocery store. I am snack mom tomorrow for pre school so I needed to get some stuff. It turned into a big shopping trip. The Woodbury Center had some music on the lawn thing, so we ran the groceries home and packed a lunch. It was so fun, we had a picnic lunch and the kids loved playing. It was a little cool today which was a little nice for a change. The kids were so happy as they are able to start wearing their batty shirts. Nicole’s says “he is driving me batty” and Justin’s says “she is driving me batty”. We had a friend’s birthday party at Pretend City. I think it is my new favorite place. The kids loved it. Justin’s favorite part was driving the cars. Poor kid waited patiently for 45 minutes to drive it. This wasn’t the car he waited for but he had fun riding this police car too.
There was an area where the kids could pretend to build a house. This was a favorite exhibit too. Dad had fun showing the kids what to do.
Nicole was into all the dress up things. There was a stage the kids could dress up and perform. Nicole was really into that and doing shows. There was a fire dep’t area. Nicole was so cute in a fire fighter outfit.
This place was awesome. Had a grocery store and a farm. The kids loved picking all sorts of fruits, etc. I think the kiddos could have stayed there all day. We went into the party room for cake. The theme of the birthday was Blue Clue’s. It was so cute they had little bowls of what looked like dog food for the kids-it was really cute. The kids loved wearing birthday hats and eating cupcakes.
The kids got the coolest goodie bags but couldn’t wait to go play again. Nicole went into the art room and did some crafts while Justin was driving again. There was an area for him to get gas, go through the drive thru, stop lights, etc. The bathroom was even cool with a little potty and a sink the kids could reach. Bret and I were so tired but the kids kept on wanting to go and go. They got to take lots of balloons home too, really cool Blues Clues one. When they got home we put the movie, Cars on. Justin was so excited to watch it. He liked the racing parts. Nicole didn’t seem too interested and went outside for a bit. After dinner the kids really wanted to go to monkey bar park. So we ran over there as it was getting dark. We were only there for 20 minutes but had a blast. The kids were running around and pretending to find our cars. Then I hid and they found me too. It was cold tonight. The kids played in their rooms for a bit, Justin and dad built a track. Nicole was pretending that she was in high school. Thankfully the kids went to sleep.
