Hot! Hot! Hot!
Today was really hot! We started our day around 5:45 to get ready for a garage sale. My parents have so much stuff they need to get rid of so we offered our driveway plus we had a few things to sell too. I was impressed my ghetto signs actually brought people here. The kids slept in till about 7:30 which helped us to get ready for the sale. The kids were all excited about the garage sale. They kept on saying people here. They wanted to eat their breakfast in the garage. So we brought out their little table and off they went. But they were really distracted. They were busy playing in their cars, watching the people, playing in the garage, etc. They were so great during the garage sale. They just amused themselves in the garage and surprisingly stayed in the garage. At the end I brought out their trikes, so they were happy biking around the garage. Then I took the stroller out of the car and they climbed right in. I think they are liking their stroller these days. But of course whoever sits in the back (usually Nicole) kicks the person in front. Anyway I think we picked the hottest day of the year to have the garage sale-ugh. We cleaned up and had some lunch. Bret and I did a run to Goodwill. We came home and Bret got the kiddos to take a nap today. They took a great nap and so did I. After nap we went to Grammy’s. She is coming home this week so it was time to make sure her car was working and turn on the water heater. The kids played on the first step of the pool and had a blast kicking and splashing. It was cold! Dad went in but the kids weren’t too excited about going all the way in. Nicole slipped on the step and under the water she went. With my clothes on I pulled her out quickly and her first words out of her mouth were baby. So we rescued baby too. Nicole was a little nervous but we took her right back in the pool and she wasn’t scared. She was such a brave little trooper. When you talk to her about it with a big smile she says she went under the water. We got some food for dinner to go and ate at Grammy’s. We played with all the toys. Then we rode tricycles and went for a stroller walk. It was so nice out this evening. We came home and the kids were a bit wired, since they napped. We put them to bed a little late and it is around 9:30 and I still hear them. I am exhausted so I hope they go to sleep soon!
