Nice Day With the Kiddos 5/19/08
We hung out at home this morning for a while. We played in every room of the house. The kids were into their babies, the baby driving toy, putting tracks together, etc. It was very mellow and minimal fighting-it was really nice. We played outside for a while too. The kiddos kept putting their feet in their pool, plus their lawnmower, and broom. They were busy playing with the rescue pack and taking turns. I was tired of the turn taking so I let Justin play with the hose for a while. He was loving playing with the hose. Then we headed to Target. We needed lots of stuff. The kiddos were great and I let them play in the toy section for a while. We looked at clothes for the kiddos too. The kiddos loved picking out clothes. Nicole would go up to an item of clothing and would say oh I love this. I think we were at Target for about an hour and a half. After we came home and had lunch. The kiddos put their blankets on the kitchen floor and would stand on them and say slippery. Then they laid down on the floor and put their blankets on them and say goodnight. We went upstairs and read books for a while. Finally the kiddos took a nap. After nap I decided to give the kiddos a bath. We got bath out of the way so we could play outside after dinner since the weather was so nice. Dad came home to two very happy naked kids (bath just finished). We ate dinner outside and the kids loved it. After dinner, we went and played in the front. The kids drove their cars for a while. Justin wanted to drive over big leaves. They just go around in circles. Nicole was really into giving me her credit card and wanting to put gas in her car. I decided to do a little gardening while we were up front. Nicole was such a big help. She put all the weeds in the bucket for me. She was so happy to be helping me. I just loved it! Hopefully we will be gardening together for years to come. We came in and the kids got their Mickey/Minnie cups and pretended to drink coffee. We read some books and off to bed. I still hear Nicole upstairs but hopefully she will go to sleep soon.
