Today we were supposed to go to the RSM lagoon but the weather was a bit gloomy. So we had friends over. We had a great time with our friends. The kids played all over the house and played really well together. Mostly we were outside. Nicole loved the babies that were here, baby Sienna and Matthew. There were toys everywhere! The kids all had lunch together, it was cute. After everyone left, Nicole and Justin finished their lunches then just played. Justin found his measuring tape and was so happy. And Nicole put on all her bracelets and princess shoes (see pics).

Then the kiddos decided to bring all their food from their kitchen. At first they carried it all up in their little Dora and Spiderman bags/lunch bag things. Then Justin did a couple rounds with everything in his hands. So funny watching him carry all the stuff. And Nikki up at the top of the stairs saying buddy you dropped something. What a mess to clean up. But then I went upstairs and the kids took all these clothes and spread them out all over the upstairs. It was so funny, they were having a blast. Luckily they are great about cleaning up these days. We watched some TV. I convinced them to watch Diego but then they wanted Barney and Elmo’s World. After TV we played with trains for a while. The kids make big trains then they say they have 5 trains even though they have 10. Grammy came over. The kids played catch and baseball with her. We all had dinner. Then the kids pretended to paint the fence. And our fence is finally done-YEAH! Bret and I went to a mandatory parents meeting at pre school tonight while Grammy stayed with the kids. Nicole walked us to the door and practically kicked us out. Grammy said the kiddos did really well for her. She was teaching them who Blake and their other cousins were and Grammy said you probably don’t remember Blake. Nicole was so concerned that she didn’t remember Blake. Grammy said it was so funny. Grammy read a book about gingerbread cookies and then decorated gingerbread cookies with the kids. It sounded like everyone had fun!
