This morning daddy stayed home and we all went to register for pre school. Bret got to see the kids pre school. The kids were so excited to be back at pre school. They had a great time playing, showing daddy where they wash their hands, etc. They were very busy at school playing, painting, going outside, having snack, etc. We registered the kids. I can’t believe they will be starting pre school soon. After pre school we ran to do some grocery shopping. Then we met some friends at the fair. Oh my god the fair was so much fun this year with the kiddos. I don’t think we left the ride area though. They were so excited to be able to go on the rides and they went on all by themselves. They rode trains, flying pink elephants, pirate ships, carousal, etc. We were there for a few hours and the kdidos just loved looking around at everything. Of course they wanted all the toys. Maybe when we take daddy he can win the kiddos something. I can’t wait to take the kiddos back to the fair. We came home and I just gave the kiddos a bath. It wasn’t too hot at the fair but I thought a cool bath would feel good. At night we seem so busy so baths seem rushed. Now they got to play and have fun in the bath. I was so wet that I felt like I took a bath with them. They had fun throwing the ball in the plant. Well I was hoping to maybe go back to the zoo with Bret tonight but we got a call saying our back yard can begin on Tuesday. So we were running around trying to find someone to pull out trees for us. We will have a busy weekend prepping for all this, but it will be beautiful when it is done. Hopefully the chaos won’t drive the kids crazy. So we had a nice night at home, family dinner and play time out in the back yard. Then we went for a walk to the shopping center (where Von’s was) and got frozen yogurt. There is a new frozen yogurt place there. We took two umbrella strollers for a change. The kids had fun pushing their babies in them. Nicole rode it on the way there. We really proud of the kids not fighting over them. They both pushed one on the way there then switched on the way home. The kids loved the yogurt, of course. It was fun. They way home was great. The kids ran around on the grass. Justin is such a boy, likes throwing his baby in the air and having it do flips. Nicole likes it now when her baby talks to her. We got to our street and someone was washing their car, Justin was fascinated with the water going down the street. Both kids were loving it, stepping in the water, laughing. I love moments like this, relaxing walks and just fun (no fighting). We came home and read to the kids then off to bed since they didn’t nap. They both fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow.
