Monday Already

Wow the weekend went by way too fast. This morning I caught up on laundry and tried to clean up the house a bit. We went to the Spectrum this morning with the mom’s group. The kids went in the fountains. They had a blast! Then we walked the Spectrum. We walked to Carters. The kids played a bit with the legos and toys while the mom’s tried to shop. Nicole got a dress which she calls her ballerina dress, she was spinning around with it on, so cute. After we went to Red Robin with our friends. It was a nice morning. I wanted the kids to nap but no such luck. I decided to give the kids a bath as they love it. Before filling up the water though the kids got in. They got their crayons out and drew all over the tub. Then they didn’t want water in the tub any more. The tub was full of drawings even before the water went in. Finally got the water in and the kiddos had a great time in the bath. I like afternoon bath as there is no fighting and secondly they can take there time in the bath rather than rushing at night. After bath I put big boy underwear on Justin. He said he wanted a diaper, but then he said he loves his car underwear better. Then I decided to do some gardening with the kids. It needs to get done sometime. Luckily the kids were so excited to be helping me that they were really good out there. They picked up all the branches that I cut and put them in the trash can. We were having fun together. Then daddy came home and the kids stopped helping me-bummer. The kids played with these new wooden trains we got them and then they drove their cars. We came in and had some dinner-the kiddos weren’t very hungry. We played with toys and the kids drew for a while. I thought we would be in for a cranky night but then kids were ok. I was defrosting veggies and the kids decided to eat them frozen, they loved them. They were playing balloon together in the kitchen. It was so cute. They were playing catch with it, bopping it in the air, and laughing together. I love when they play together. We went upstairs and Nicole wanted to wear her new ballerina dress. So cute, she was dancing around in it. Then we read books, usual bedtime routine. The kids were exhausted. Justin fell asleep the minute his head hit the pillow.
