Well we were lazy slugs this morning. I think the kiddos stayed in their jammies until 11:00ish. I was trying to clean up the backyard a bit. The kids wanted their froggie table out so they ate all their pretend food on it, then I gave them a snack on it which they loved. They helped me clean up the back a bit. Helped me sweep and pick up leaves. We just had a nice relaxing morning at home. I needed to run some errands, so I decided to bribe the kids. I surprised them and let them play at Chuck E Cheese and in return they would be good during errands. And it absolutely worked. I had the best behaved children. We had fun at Chuck E Cheese, they both loved all the games and little rides. When I said it was time to go they said ok and off we went. I was shocked it was that easy. We did turn in the tickets and the kids each got a lollipop and stickers. Then we headed over to Walmart and got a ton of things. After we got home we went to Blue Gum Park and met some friends over there. The kids had such a great time. Justin went over to the volleyball court to throw the ball over the net; all the kids followed and they were throwing the balls back and forth. Justin and Nicole played in the sand, filled up buckets with water, were monkeys on the mokey bars, went on the swings, etc. All the kids were sliding down the slide together then waiting at the bottom for each other. The kids played so well that Paula and I got to hang out and catch up. Nicole and Justin just love hanging out with Paula’s kids. We came home and daddy was home. The kids pleayed Leapsters while we prepared dinner. After dinner it was bath time. Nicole just puts on her own jammies, it is so great. Justin just wanted to stay naked. They were busy throwing stuff on top of their canopes and bopping them off. The kids also wanted to brush their own teeth. Anyway 20 minutes later and I hear Nicole singing. Time to relax!
