This morning we stayed home for a bit to get ready for the cleaners. The kids played in the garage for a bit, rode their bikes and did bubbles. They brought in some camping chairs from the garage and just had fun together. Just as the cleaners were getting here, we escaped to McDonalds. On the way it started raining. The kids grabbed their umbrellas and were so excited but it didn’t last long. We met some friends at McDonalds and the kiddos had a great time playing in the play area. The moms actually got to just hang out and the kids played really well. We decided to eat lunch there too. We were there for a while. The rain kept on starting and stopping. What a bummer as we were supposed to go meet some friends at the Woodbridge bike park. The kids really wanted to go and they were willing to go in the rain. We came home for a bit and so nice walking into a clean house. I wish somehow it would stay this way for a while. I have been needing to go to the mall but I keep procrastinating. We finally decided to go today. I needed to just exchange some sizes in the kid’s clothes. We had fun at the mall. I first did the things I needed to do then rewarded them for being so good…we went to the play area. Justin was so excited to ride in the black car. They rode together, so cute. We had our usual fun at the mall, escalators, elevators, running around, watching the TV in the kids stores, etc. They didn’t want to leave the mall. But when we got home we had some fun outside. It was a little cool out but felt like the kiddos could use some outside time. Nicole got the package by our door while Justin got the mail. I got an external flash for my camera-I am so excited. I didn’t know Bret ordered it. Nicole was nice enough to open it for me. She even got her wood play knife to open it-boy was I surprised. Dad came home. The kids drove their cars all around the neighborhood while looking for Halloween decorations. It was great as we got a walk in as well. They loved riding their cars around. I kept on thinking in about 12 years they will be really driving, ugh. We decided to go out for dinner, so bad of us but so much better than my cooking. The kids were really into coloring tonight so we hard a hard time getting them upstairs. When we finally did I was putting away laundry and dad was fixing a computer, but all we heard was mommy, mommy, daddy, daddy, etc. Finally waited on the laundry and we played, got ready for bed, and read books. We have sleeping kiddos now.
