Catch Up Day
Since we played so much yesterday today we wanted to get some stuff done today. I took a walk by myself this morning. It was so weird not pushing a stroller or entertaining kids-it was nice but boring. Justin kept on saying he wanted to ride his bike at the park. So we loaded up the kids and bikes and went off to Blue Gum. They were so excited to play at the park. They were into climbing up this thing with a chain and then sliding down the slides. It was so cute watching them be so happy to be at the park. After the park we had to go to Target. We needed to buy a bigger tent. We are planning on going camping one night next weekend with some friends. Sounds like a lot of work for one night but should be a lot of fun. I needed to get an oil change for my car so we went to do that. We ate lunch while we were waiting for the car to be done. There was a TV there with the CARS movie on, so Justin was loving watching it. Then I took the kids to Toys R Us while Bret waited for the car. Nicole found a Hello Kitty doll she loved and carried it around. The kids were loving playing in the cars/jeeps, etc. I looked at doll house stuff for Nicole. We came home and the kiddos got their TV time. At the end of TV time Bret was using the hose and Justin gave up TV time to see what was going on with the hose. Justin just loves the hose. I think I changed his clothes twice today as he was all wet! We got the pool out and the kiddos splashed around in that for a bit. They played with the dump truck and the dirt in the backyard. I got rid of the sand and now I have to deal with dirt. Only until we get our new fence though then we can landscape. The kids just had a blast outside today. Bret was able to start on the sprinklers and I did a little cooking and laundry. Then I wanted to run to a store so the kiddos and I went leaving daddy to work on sprinklers. I saw a sign for a free music thing in the park so I called daddy and he met us. We had a picnic dinner with the kids and listened to the music. I wish I had my video camera to tape the kiddos dancing. It was so cute. They ran around the grass, circled and hung on trees, etc. They had a great time. I regret not going to more of these earlier in the summer. There was a little hill by the band so the kids had a great time playing on it, running and rolling up and down. The kids waved to the drummer and Justin especially liked being up close to the band. We had a great family night! We had to leave a bit early as the kids really needed a bath. Came home and did a quick bath. Didn’t even have time for books tonight. Just a little rocking and some stories and the kids were sound asleep.
