Dad and Justin were playing music on the laptop this morning.
Today is birthday party day. But before we went to birthday parties, dad took Justin to Lowe’s to build a school bus. It came out so cute. Justin helped dad build it and hammered in nails. They had a great time. Nicole and I went to Target as I needed a ton of stuff and wanted to use a bunch of coupons. Nicole was so helpful. She really wanted to pick out a new birthday crown since her old one broke. She also helped me pick out new winter jammies for the kids. Justin got cars and Nicole got princesses. After we met up with dad and Justin and headed to Micheal, Katie, and Sarah’s 5th birthday party. It was all about water. They had slides going into pools, water table, and slip and slide. There were also bubbles and paint with water. This is the first time my kiddos have been on a slip and slide. It took them about 10 tries to figure it out. Justin was way more into it than Nicole. Here are some pics:
Lots of pics and lots of fun. It took a while to get the hang of the slip and slide but once they did-they loved it. After eating some lunch there was a balloon toss game and Nicole won it. Justin was inside playing with toys. Then it was pinata time. They loved trying to hit the pinata, it was really cute. I am sure they will be talking about how Pablo’s head fell off.
They got lots of candy. It was a great party, we had so much fun. It was just so humid. The kids finished eating their lunch on the way home, they were too into the party to eat. Then we let them watch some TV. We played at home a bit then we went to another birthday party. This one was at My Gym. The kids had a blast. It is amazing to watch them now at My Gym. Nicole was showing off and hanging with one arm. Justin was on the hot dog swing with me. They did some cool activities like parachute, snow ball fight, bubbles, roller coaster (wagon down a hill crashing into a mat), train ride, etc. It was so nice to participate when necessary and sit back and watch too. Nicole and Lexie had fun playing together, Lexie had to go potty so Nicole said she did too. They just copied each other, it is cute though. Justin loved going on the rope and swinging and space flight as well. We got home and the kids had to do the puzzles they got as a thank you gift for coming to the party. Nicole got a Pooh one and Justin got Cars, very appropriate. We gave the kiddos a bath then decided to go for a walk in the Bob stroller. So nice for dad and I to get out and be able to talk to one another. The kids brought books and were pretty amused. We read to the kids then they fell asleep so fast.
