We stayed at home this morning. It was nice. I feel like we have been running around too much. Nicole played with her ponies. Justin read books and played with all the balloons. I got a couple of our drawers cleaned out. The kids were all over playing, pretending to be babies, playing with letters, trains, etc. I felt like I followed the kids around and cleaned up after them. Our friends came over. The kids were so excited to have their friends here. They all played really well. Justin and Mikey were having the best time with the shake and go cars. They were banging them into the walls but they were laughing. This lasted for a long time too. Nicole was busy swinging and coloring with Lexie and Sarah. I have never seen Nicole color for so long. Nicole invited all her friends to stay for lunch, so sweet. After cleaning up real quick we ran over to Orchard Park. Some of our pre school friends were meeting there. I think the kiddos could have stayed at the park all day-the weather and company was great. We did some errands on the way home. Justin found an Alvin and the Chipmunks shirt-he loves it! The kiddos watched some TV and rested a bit then we were off again. We met some friends at Blue Gum. It was so cute watching the kids play. They were throwing sand in the air pretending it was fireworks. Also put sand on the slide and it was a car wash. Great imagination. Michael and Justin played soccer and Nicole was really into playing in the sand. We rushed off to meet another friend at another park. I am park’d out! We went to Settler’s-the kids had fun but got pretty hungry. It was nice to catch up with some friends. We didn’t get home until after 6:30, so I ate dinner really quick. Then I was off for a photography class, studio lighting. It was really interesting and I have a lot to learn. Bret said the kids went right to sleep, after all the park time I am not surprised.
