Squirty Water Toys
This morning we came downstairs and the kiddos immediately wanted to go outside in the backyard and play. Of course it is kinda cool out and they are playing in the water, oh well they had fun. We decided to go to the spectrum with the kiddos. It was so nice as we got there a bit early and the kiddos were the only ones playing in the fountains. They had so much fun. They filled up cups and threw the water out of them. Justin learned to splash the water coming out of the turtle. Nicole didn’t like it when she got splashed. They had a great time. Of course they wanted to ride the carousal too. So after the fountains we went to Cheesecake Factory for lunch. The kids were great and we had a nice lunch together. Then of course down to the carousal we went. I rode too and Nicole thought it was so funny, of course she made sure I had a seatbelt on and she told me to hold on! We kept walking the Spectrum and there was a kids expo thing. Justin and Nicole both liked the martial arts place, they kicked plastic first and then they let them kick wood. Both kids broke the wood 🙂 They got water bottles, balloons, squishy cameras, etc…We went to Carters and Target real fast too. Had to get another floatie for the kids for Vegas, plus get daddy this water toy thing. When we got home we read books for so long. I thought I was going to have to read all the books in the basket. Then I finally turned on the TV for a bit. After TV we basically played out in the back yard all after noon. The kids played in their water table using theirs and daddy’s squirty toys (see pic).
The kids had another trike wash, so cute. We did some work in the backyard, raked where the grass is going and hooked up jacuzzi. Justin had fun squirting down the dirt to help make less dust. Nicole was busy pushing babies in the swings. Then the kdis wanted to help us. So they started putting rocks in the trash can and playing in the dirt. They called the rocks Easter eggs and filled up their baskets. This kept them occupied for a while which was nice so I could pack for Vegas. But the kids were really dirty, but oh well. After dinner the kiddos brought their trains to the kitchen table and their cups became tunnels. We had to convince them to move to the train table as they were starting to stand up on the chairs, a little scary. We had a good night, the kiddos played in our bed, rolling around and pretending to sleep. Couple books and Justin was asleep before we left the room. Nicole has been sneezing a bit today so I hope she is not getting sick.
