I Miss Nap
This morning we met Vena, Candice, Stacie, and Victoria at Lowers Peter Canyon. The kids had a great time. Nicole wanted to swing then she was pushing Nikki’s (Stacie) baby doll stroller. Justin was really into the trucks pushing them and filling them up with the sand. They had a great time this morning. I just wanted to get them out of the house before everyone came over for play group. We hosted play group this morning. It was nice to catch up with the my friends and watch all the kids play. Nicole and Justin were outside almost the entire time. They were painting with water, and Justin used his Diego rescue pack. I heard my kids go upstairs and they were playing in the empty bedroom, just talking and hanging out. So cute Justin was carrying around big floppy dog and laying on him. All the moms and kids had lunch together here. It was a little crazy but nice. The kids helped me clean up a bit then upstairs for quiet time. Nap is killing me; I went up there a zillion times to try and quiet them down. I caught Justin standing on his bed rail-ugh. He was so upset he was in trouble but I didn’t want him to get hurt. We came down and watched TV. Justin fell asleep. We need to rethink nap. We may have to stay upstairs and help them quiet down or separate them. The thought of separating them breaks my heart; I love knowing they are together. Nicole and I had a great time playing while Justin slept. We read books, played dress up-more like Nicole dressed me up. After Justin woke up I got lots of great Justin time. We sat together, talked, and fished. After playing for a while, we went to open gym at My Gym. The kids had a great time. They were making baskets, running around, playing with puppets, playing in the play structure. I was shocked today they did not go in the ball pit or the trampoline. They ventured out. Grammy came over for dinner after the gym. The kids came home and played outside while we finished making dinner. We all had dinner together. Grammy made a fruit salad and all the kids wanted to eat was bananas. You would think they would be sick of bananas by now. After dinner, Grammy made truffles with the kids. It was pretty funny listening to Grammy try to give directions to the kids and they did the total opposite. Chocolate and sprinkles everywhere. Didn’t matter the kids had a great time. We didn’t even attempt to wash them up we just put them in the bath. They had a great time in bath, washing their hair, drawing, playing with the little slide and ferris wheel toy, etc. After bath they showed Grammy their big kid beds. The kiddos discovered to throw all their socks and underwear on the floor and make a mess. Luckily they did clean it back up without a problem. Nicole even said “don’t mess up my mess”. The kids went to bed pretty easily tonight, thank goodness as I am exhausted.
