Daddy On Call
Well daddy was up half the night dealing with his on call. There was a big disaster recovery over the weekend, so he expected it but it still stinks. So I tried to let him sleep in this morning. The kiddos and I snuck downstairs to play and eat breakfast. The kids like to be fed these days so I fed them breakfast. Then we went into the living room and we woke up daddy. The kids had a blast playing in the yard this morning. It was so nice out. They both played with the rescue pack, squirting everything the windows, the bbq. We did bubbles and I spilled them everywhere. I hated to stop the play but I saw a pair of shoes I wanted in one of the ads this morning. So off to the Laguna Hills Mall. Remind us never go to that mall again…there are way too many distractions for the kids, cars, lights, more cars, tractors, fire truck carts, etc….We had fun taking the kids on the escalators. We shopped a little bit. The kids got to ride on the motorcycle thing. It took us forever to get from one store to the next due to all the exciting things at the mall. It was getting late so we had lunch at the food court and more distractions up there. They loved the photo booth thing and dad took pics in it too. I think they liked to hide in it. We came home and the kiddos didn’t nap-ugh. But Bret did. Since Bret was so tired, I left for Nathaniel’s (Jacole) birthday party with a note for daddy to meet us. We had a great time at the birthday party. It was at the lagoon in Woodbridge. The kids love that place. They both were so excited to go in the water and they were so happy when daddy showed up. They were jumping up and down in the water, spinning, and we made them jump like Shamu. The party was really cute. It is amazing when cake and ice-cream are involved how polite our kids can be. They really like chocolate ice-cream, what a shocker! After we played in the sand for a while. Below are some pics of the kids in the sand. It is getting so difficult taking pics of the kids these days, Nicole just wants to stick out of her tongue and Justin is too distracted to look up. We came home and made dinner, kids favorite meal spaghetti! After the kiddos got in the Bob stroller and we took a walk around the neigborhood. Then we came home and the kids drove their cars. Nicole helped me garden a bit while Justin still drove. Nicole was bringing everything from inside out, 3 babies, her camera, blankets, shovels, balls, etc. We had fun outside. Then it was time to come in and go upstairs. The kiddos are sound asleep now and we are going to follow soon.
