Too Exciting of A Day To Nap
I love the weekends with my family. This morning we went to Hicks Canyon Park with the mom’s club for donuts with dad. It was fun. Nicole woke up early so daddy and her went and got the donuts and coffee of course. We ate breakfast then headed to the park. The kids were so happy to be at the park. We all went on the see saw together. Nicole was into playing in the sand. Justin was all over the park climbing, driving, etc. We could only stay at the park for a short time as I was going to get a pedicure and Bret was going to help someone with their computer. Grandma met us at the nail place. Grandma treated Nicole to a manicure and a pedicure. Nicole got purple polka dots on her nails and white ones on her toes. I got crazy blue toes. After we met grandma/pa at The Hat for lunch. Nicole had fun playing with the straws and Justin was trying to climb all over the booths. It was a nice morning. Nicole seemed so tired so I thought the kids would nap, but I was wrong. So we gave up on naps and the kids had some quiet time in the futon room. Then we watched Barney and Elmo’s World. It was such a nice day so we played in the yard. We got the water table out and naked kids and we were good to go. I put ice in the water table too and the kid had a great time with ice. For some silly reason they were putting the ice on the door mat and laughing hysterically. They were also splashing and giggling. I just love when they laugh together. They were also sticking one foot in the water table then running in the house laughing. Of course water everywhere in the house. They had a great time in the back yard. We came in and played some more. All the cushions were off on the couch so the kiddos had a blast jumping on them. We decided to go to dinner at some bbq place in the marketplace. Here is where we were feeling like Nicole should have napped. It ended up working out ok though. Bret ordered food and I took the kiddos to the fountains and the escalators. By the time we go to the dinner table Nicole had perked up again. We came home and played on the green belt. Justin played golf and Nicole played with the big blue ball. It was fun until Justin accidentally hit Nicole with the golf club-ouch! We came in and the kids rode their tricycles, crashing into each other laughing. We went up stairs and read books. Then I told them stories about Sally and Billy (made up) and they love it, then off to bed.
