No pre school this morning. It was nice to take it easy a bit this morning. I went to the gym for me. The kids did great in the kids club. In fact I came back to get them and they told me to go work out some more. I need to get my lazy butt to the gym more often. After the gym, we went to the Laguna Hills Pumpkin Patch. Funny to think about when we went in years past….they wanted all the bigger rides now and weren’t too interested in the pumpkins. This was our first pumpkin patch this year and I have a feeling we will be going to a lot more the next two weeks.
We walked over to the mall and had lunch. Then just hung around and walked the mall a bit. We went in the bookstore and read lots of books too. On the way home we stopped at the grocery store for a few things then finally came home. The kids played and played. Nicole has been a little screamy today-I hope it is just because she is tired. I was sick of the fighting so out we went. We grabbed the kid’s bikes and biked around castle park. We then played at the park for a bit. The kids had so much fun at the park. We hadn’t been to that park in a while. When we got home, dad and I tried to make homemade pasta. The kids played really well for a bit. But then the fighting started again. Nicole is borrowing a dog from Katie and it is starting a lot of fights with me and Nicole and Justin and Nicole. Nicole wants to take it everywhere but we can’t as we don’t want to leave it anywhere. The kids decided to dump all the bins in the play room, what a mess. Well dad and I made home made pasta. Lot of work but it was pretty tasty. What a mess too. Don’t think we will try it again but it was fun to try once. After cleaning up the kitchen dad read books to the kiddos, they seem pretty tired. We also had to clean the play room. Dad played with Justin for a bit while I read to Nikki. It was sweet as Nicole was laying in my lap. We then switched and Justin pretended to be the pre school teacher while I was a naughty kid. I still hear them upstairs but hopefully they will fall asleep very soon.
