Busy But Fun Day
Justin woke up early so I got him out of his bed and put him in our bed. How can a little guy take up so much room in a king size bed? No room for me. When Nicole woke up she went to the bathroom and then came in our room. This was the first time we were greeted with a child in our room, it was cute. We were out and about early to go to Messy, Muddy, Hands, & Toes. This was the last class. The kids had fun. First we painted wood ducks. The kids really loved this one for some reason. We turned the ducks into magnets and we gladly put them on our fridge. Then the kids put stickers on crowns. They really liked this one too. It was cute watching all the kids wear their crowns. Justin decorated a yellow crown and Nicole a blue one. The last project was chalk on paper. Nicole and Justin showed no interest in this project at all. At the end the instructor gave the kids vanilla ice cream with sprinkles. The kiddos liked putting on the sprinkles and eating the ice cream. We changed out of messy clothes, got gas and went over to Scooter’s Jungle to meet some friends. The kids had a great time. There was a big slide and the kids smiled the whole way down. They went into the bounce house and played with everything. Justin loved being able to get water out of the water fountain by himself. Then the kiddos played with the air hockey. Justin loved hitting the puck. Nicole liked it when it Justin got a goal. I think they would have played air hockey the entire time, they loved it so much. Justin liked playing around with the ping pong paddle and ball too. Nicole loved sitting on the pedal merry go round and hiding in the tree house. She would get on the merry go round horse and say it is raining and run into the tree house, what an imagination. After finally getting the kids out of Scooter’s Jungle, we went to grandma/pa’s. We had lunch there and play time. And the kiddos were still jumping. They jumped off the ottoman onto pillows. I ran to Wal-Mart to get a few things. Hoe great to shop without kids, so easy and I can look at everything. The kids sort of napped, at least got a great rest. Grandpa and Justin went to look at trucks that were working outside the gate at their complex. There was a crane and a cement truck. Nicole got a bowl and a spoon and pretended to cook pudding. She would pretend go to the fridge/freezer to get things like milk, water, etc. We stayed for a while then it was time to come home just in case any one fell asleep on the way home. We came home and played. The kids just wanted to go outside. So they played in the backyard with the sand (made cakes), the rescue pack, swings, etc. We had dinner then played in the front too. They played with dirt and rocks and palm tree fawns. They played really well tonight together, fun to watch. We finally got upstairs and put away laundry. The kids ran around naked with their sheets as capes. They got more hyper as we got upstairs. We read lots of books and off to bed.
