Will They Ever Nap Again?
This morning we just played at home for a while. The kiddos were busy playing with their pirate ship. For some reason they had to carry it around all over the downstairs. There was a little fighting but for the most they worked together carrying it around. It was silly. Then they had to go to work like daddy. They said goodbye to me, gave me a hug and kiss and off on their scooters they went. Then their scooters became planes. Then the king chair became a carousal (pic below). What imaginations! We went to pool day with the mom’s club today. Justin and Nicole had a great time. They went right into the baby pool and loved it. Nicole brought her floatie. They were all smiles in the water getting all wet. They had fun filling up buckets and pouring them out. They love getting me all wet. After we took showers in the outdoor showers and the kids loved that as well. Makes it easier as no bath tonight. They are silly kids. We came home and had lunch and then read a ton of books. I thought I could mellow them out enough to take a nap but no! So we watched a little TV. Uncle Alan stopped by on the way home from work since he had the baby with him. Nicole was happy to see the baby and immediately wanted us to change the babies diaper. Nicole and Justin were watching TV so they were going back and forth watching the baby and watching TV. I got to feed Tierney and play with her. She was happy lying on the changing table watching the mobile. Uncle Alan and baby didn’t not stay very long. After they left, the kiddos and I just played a bit. I was wondering if I would have two cranky kids this afternoon. Basically if you did everything they wanted you were all set. I needed to run to Target for a few things, so we got out of the house before crankiness set in. They just rode in the double cart thing, man I hate pushing that big thing. But they were happy. After Target we ran to the library. We walked in and a story time and craft was just starting. None of the kids weren’t really into the story time-they were all excited for the craft. The kids made sparkly masks. Nicole and Justin love squeezing glue. We had more glue then anything else. But then they covered their masks with glitter. Glitter everywhere. Then they crumpled up tissue paper and glued it onto the paper as well. Nicole liked crumpling, Justin wanted more glue. We went up and checked out some books. The kids were getting into everything, all the books, the computers, etc. By the library is a great grass area, so we played there for a while. The kids decided the gazebo area with a bench in it was a bus. So we pretended to drive it. The kids ran around and found a few bunnies as well. It was pretty nice. We called dad and had him meet us there too. Then we went across to the Marketplace for dinner. We ate outside and the kiddos wanted to feed the birdies. Justin was playing with ice and he was such a sweet kid and shared with Nicole. We came home and headed upstairs to try to get the kiddos down for an earlier bed time. 8:30 and it is quiet in the house. They were exhausted.
