It is a busy weekend for us. Justin woke up and him and I were out early. One of the neighborhoods by us was having a garage sale. At first he didn’t want to come but a juice box was the deciding factor for him to come. He found some spiderman slippers and a puzzle he loved. It was a transportation puzzle and he wanted to carry it. We found a few things for Nicole too. This morning the kids were all over daddy-it was great and weird at the same time. I finally gave dad a little break since I had to go to a photography class from 10-2. The kids and dad went to an open house at the fire station. They said it was great. The kids got to ride on a fire truck-it was one that is used for birthday parties. The kids loved it. They saw some show, got to use the hose, and see where firetrucks get washed and repaired. I was sad to miss it but know it was fun for daddy and the kids to have some time together. The photography class was pretty good. I really learned how to use my camera in manual mode. I was a little disappointed the instructor didn’t have time to critique all our pics. Plus everyone was all over taking pics of the model-it was hard to push our way through. The kids watched part of Tinkerbell and then were pretty tired. When I got home the kids were outside playing with their kites. We decided to go to the global village festival. Parking was terrible and the kiddos fell asleep on the way to it. We let them sleep for only a little bit, lucky for us the excitement of taking a shuttle made them not cranky. The festival was ok. Most things were starting to pack up while we were there. But we got to the bounce houses and the kids had a blast of course. They painted rocks too. Justin actually said “he loved painting the rocks”-it was too cute. We went out to dinner. We were hoping we would have time to go to the park but it just got too dark on us early. We got home and the kids played with some cars and the Cinderella doll we got today. We went upstairs and read lots of books. The kids wanted to pretend they were teachers and read books to us. Justin and I looked out for our star. Justin fell right to sleep but I still hear Nicole. Ugh it is 9:00.
