Story Time/Fountains
We tried to clean up a little this morning, the house is a mess. Sand/toys everywhere! We had to run some errands so we went to Target before story time. The kids were pretty happy sitting in the cart. Found some kick boards for the kids for the pool. And the kiddos got gardening gloves just like mom’s. Then we went over to story time at Hush Baby. The kiddos love the bunny. Nicole was participating really well, clapping, calling out animals for the Old McDonald song. Justin was happy sitting there and taking it all in. When story lady passed out little animals for the kids both kids participated by bopping on the head (just like the bunny). Justin got a yellow dog painted on his hand and Nicole wanted a purple kitty. After story time I took the kiddos out to lunch. I braved In N Out Burger by myself at a busy time-ugh. The kiddos were great for me, staying with me. Both kids ate a lot! We took out milk to go and just sat on a bench watching all the people and cars go by. It was so nice just taking the time with the kids. We went into Michael’s Craft Store for a bit but then it was time to come home. We got home and the kiddos got to watch Barney and Elmo’s World. It was pretty warm today so we met some friends down in Rancho Santa Margarita for fun in the fountains. At first I didn’t think Nicole was going to like the fountains but before I knew it both kids were wet and having a great time. Luckily one of our friends brought toys so the kiddos were all happy. Justin and Nicole found squirt guns that they liked. All of a sudden Nicole came over and told me she wanted a squirty thing like Justin. I told her I am sorry but girls don’t have those but then I went oh you were talking about the squirt gun. They did so well listening to me when I asked them not to squirt people. There were statues there that Justin and Nicole liked. They were of little kids. Nicole held hands and sang the Barney song, I love you, you love me. Nicole and Justin both gave the statues hugs and kisses, so silly. They were both sitting with their backs to the fountain getting all wet. Even though the fountains are a little far away we will definitely have to go back. We had to leave as it was dinner time. We met daddy at Peppino’s for dinner. The kids were crazy on the drive there, they were cracking up over the ABC Word Whammer toy. It was so funny. We got to dinner and they were still crazy. We sat outside and no one else was outside. We ordered spaghetti for the kids and just took off their shirts, so they didn’t get stained. Our waitress told us people were asking if we were in the VIP area (topless eaters). Anyway the kids sat and ate for 5 minutes then were busy running around. But it was fine since we were the only ones outside. Luckily I was able to get a few more bites of spaghetti in them. We went over to the fountain after and let the kids run around on the grass and get some energy out. They are rolling on the grass now, down the hill and running up and down the hill. We got some gelato this evening, yum! We still had crazy kids when we got home but crazy fun! We finally got them to bed. Time for us to go to bed too.
