We Miss Daddy
We miss daddy especially during the cranky hours of 3-6. We went to the Santa Ana zoo this morning. We had a great time at the zoo. Lisa (Chase and Alyssa) and Christy (Lexi and Sienna) met us there. We went over to the farm area first and saw the geese, chickens, turkeys, etc. Then the kiddos found the big water basin. It was so hot that I just let them play in it. I think they could have played in it all day. We then rode on the train. The kids love the train especially when we go through the tunnel. We had a picnic lunch at the zoo then headed to the monkey area. We stopped in the dirt area for a while, and the kids went into the tunnel and played/climbed on the fake lizard. By now it was getting kiind of late so we ran to see the monkeys and headed home. I was hoping the kiddos would take a 5 min nap on the way home, no such luck. I tried to get them to nap at home, again no such luck. So they watched a little TV. Then Carin (Sofi and Mylee) came over. The kiddos got a little cranky at this point. So we tried to go outside to see if that would help. We played with the water table and bubbles for a while. It was just tiring staying on top of them and keeping them distracted so they didn’t get too cranky. I love when I ask the kids a question and they say I don’t know-it is so cute. After dinner they were a bit better. What a mess-what was I thinking doing spaghetti by myself. We headed upstairs for an early shower. Both the kiddos were great as I showered one at a time. We played upstairs for a while. Then we came back down as Paula was coming over to put her car seats in my car for Sea World tomorrow. The kiddos were so happy to be out front-they ran on the green belt. Then Krista, Gary, Matthew, and Ellie stopped by as well. The kids were having a great time. Luckily it wasn’t too difficult getting the kids back upstairs. We read a few books and told stories. Then off to bed, they both went to bed pretty fast tonight. Time to go clean up and get ready for Sea World tomorrow.
