Early in the morning the kids were already fighting a bit. Nicole is so screamy. She had trouble falling back to sleep after going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I think I fell asleep on her floor before her. The kiddos woke up early this morning. We got ready to go to music class. I had to move the class to Newport for this month due to mommy and me pre school. We took Grammy with us too. The kids didn’t mind where music class was-they were just happy Ms. Judy was teaching it and that she had the big drum. The kids had a blast in the music class. They were sitting by themselves on mats instead of my lap. Made my sad but I know it is great they are getting a bit independent. Justin and Nicole were so cute as I laid down on the ground, they bumped jumped on me and gave me the biggest hugs ever. After class we went to the Fashion Island food court for lunch with Grammy. The kiddos loved playing on the bench and Nicole was pretending to make cakes. Silly girl. Nicole was almost asleep when we got to Grammy’s so we just dropped Grammy off and came home. Justin fell asleep too. The kiddos napped a bit in the car. After nap, we came in and played. The kids were into coloring and using their stamps. They made sure stamps were up and down their arms-it looks like they have a disease. They played really nicely. Nicole had the stamps and willingly shared with Justin. It is rare when they share so nicely but when it happens it is so sweet. Then we packed up and met some friends at Hick’s Canyon Park. It rained a tiny bit and the kids were excited. There was a little 6 yr old boy there and Nicole took a liking to him. He poured big buckets of sand down the slide and the kids loved it. Nicole wanted to take this little boy home with him. Justin of course was playing in the water fountain. They had a great time at the park. We decided to go to the library for story/craft time but came to find out they didn’t have it today. So we read some books then played outside. The kids pretended the gazebo was a bus and we did ring around the rosie a zillion times. We came home and the kiddos painted for a long time (water, buckets, and paint brushes). After dinner we went for a little walk and the kiddos were wild. We played on the greenbelt for a while. It was 8:45 and the kiddos were just getting in bed. They took a while to go to bed.
