Snotty Noses
Ugh, snotty noses. It stinks but at least it seems to be a minor cold. We are having play group here today and some people are still coming despite the runny noses. I weighed the kiddos, Justin weighs 30.8 and Nicole is 30.4. Nicole is in the 54th percentile for her age and Justin is in the 47th. Guess we better feed the kiddos more ice cream. Right before everyone came over for play group the kiddos decided to play outside in the dirt. They were so dirty and muddy-ugh. I hosed them down. The kids all played really well at play group, it was really nice. Nicole wanted to swing for the longest time. She looked all relaxed and happy in the swing. My kiddos were happy to have their friends here. When their friends left, Nicole was all sad. She even said I don’t have any friends to play with. Justin stepped in and played with her. So cute to watch the kids play. I left the kiddos alone for a bit while I cleaned up from play group. I went to see what they were doing. They were putting all their toys on the landing on the stairs. At first it was a train and they were putting everything in the train. Now it is a boat and the kiddos are going to go sailing they tell me. Most of their toys are up there, all the beads, everything from the train table, the big dolphin balloons, strollers, cars, stuffed animals…I can not get up my stairs right now. But they are playing so nicely.
After they watched TV for a bit while I talked on the phone. Kristi and I are working on planning our northern CA trip. I can’t wait. Then we just played at home all afternoon. For some reason we have been home bodies. We had a picnic in the play room. The kiddos got their blankets and filled up their lunch boxes with lots of pretend food and we had a picnic. We also played catch. Daddy came home from work and the front of our house is so dirty from all the work being done in the backyard, dad hosed it all off. Justin of course needed to help. Nicole and I watched and she loved it when daddy sprayed the window. After dinner we just played in the back yard the entire time. The kids mowed the dirt. They are really into their lawn mower again then we put babies in the swings. They also painted a bit, busy little kids. Bret is working on putting the kids new beds together. I can’t wait to see the kiddos faces. The kids were pretty happy with their beds. The happiness turned into how can I make this more fun? So they started jumping off. In fact I caught a picture of Justin jumping-it looks like he is falling out. So they jumped and jumped. I think they got all hyper again seeing their new beds-ugh. We still hear them upstairs.
