This morning was really difficult at home. The kids were fighting and annoying me. I rarely get like this. We went to the bounce house place to get some energy out. It was great as one of the mom’s clubs playgroups were there plus Paula and kids. Justin followed Mikey around. Nicole was all over me for a while. Thankfully they played for a bit on their own. Plus being around my friends took me out of my cranky mood. Most of the humor you had to be there for but I am in a better mood. Paula’s kids let us borrow some Duplo blocks and we let them borrow our shake n go race set. I love that they share their toys. Nicole was really into the Duplos. The kids played really well-yeah! I caught up on all my e-mails. They played Mr. Potato head together too. They played so well that I let them watch TV. After TV we needed to head to dance class. The kids rode their bikes there and really liked it. We got there so fast that we were able to go to the pizza place and play games. I just sat and relaxed while reading a magazine as the kids did games. Nicole was so excited about her dance class; she couldn’t wait to get there. She ran in the class and showed her teacher her doggy stuffed animal (Biscuit). Justin and I played crazy 8’s and watched Nicole dance too. Justin loves riding his bike and could have ridden for so long. He started going up the path, Nicole wasn’t too happy about it. But we ended up having a great time looking at all the leaves. The kids crunched in the leaves and tried to find the biggest leaves. Guess there are a few trees in CA that lose their leaves. We played grocery store, duplo legos, cleaned up…After dinner we all played for a bit. I brought out toys the kids hadn’t seen in a while, so they were really into the view finder. We decided to go outside for a flashlight walk. We got to see some Halloween decorations too. It was fun. The kiddos seemed tired. We went upstairs and Justin played trains. Nicole was busy doing a million things. We read books. Justin went right to sleep but Nicole is still awake.
