We went over to the open house at the firehouse this morning. The kids had a great time. They got to sit in the firetrucks, get behind the steering wheels, etc. Nicole collected pine cones and gave them to the firefighters.
There was a park right across the street so the kiddos played there for a bit. It was a cute park, the kids loved pulling the sand up with the rope. I think we filled the sand bucket about 100 times. We came home for a bit then headed to Grammy’s. Since Grammy is leaving for NZ on Monday she wanted to celebrate the kid’s birthday early. The kids played really well in her office with all her toys. They wanted us all to come up there and watch them play. The kids got on their trikes and we walked over to the park. They are getting too big for their trikes but they still like them. They had a blast at the park. They pretended they were mom and dad and Pooh was their baby. I got to take care of Pooh. Grammy’s friend Everdian from NZ gave the kiddos a sprinkler toy. It is a toy that spins around and the kids jump over it. Who knew it would be so fun in the house. We were spinning it and the kids were chasing it and jumping over it. They were laughing so hard it was hilarous. I love what they can find more than one way to play with things. More of Grammy’s friends came over to help celebrate. Nicole loved being the center of attention and loved everyone singing to her. Sharon gave them some cute Halloween outfits and they got some books. Grammy gave them 2 Tinkerbell dolls, Geo Trax helicopter and bridge, and some clothes. Nicole is so excited about the Tinkerbell dolls. She says they are her new favorite toy. She is sleeping with both of them. She wants to wear her hair in a bun just like Tinkerbell. Justin loved his helicopter that lights up and makes noise. We will have to set up the bridge tomorrow. We got home a little late, but we read lots of books. Justin fell asleep when his head hit the pillow and Nicole was not far behind. Hope they sleep in tomorrow morning.
