This morning Justin shocked us by pooping in the potty! He did so great, we are so proud. He is doing so well with the potty. There is hope that he will be in underwear before pre school officially starts. I gave him M&M’s after. He was so proud of himself and we even called daddy at work to tell him. This morning we have been just playing, reading books. Nicole did markers while Justin played on the train table. I tried to clean up the house a bit, quick vacuum, etc. Vena and kiddos came over to play for a bit before we all went to story time. We went to Hush Baby for little bunny fu fu story time. The kids just love this story time-it is great. They love getting bopped in the head by bunny fu fu then kissed. They always wait patiently for the hand painting. Nicole got a pink dog and Justin got a blue dog, so cute. Then we went over to In N Out Burger for lunch. The kids were so good for me. We had a great time. We went to Michael’s after as I am going to attempt to make Nicole a tu tu. The kids love wearing these hats at Michael’s-they say they are picking out their costumes, like our Dora Halloween book we read to the kids. It was a pretty hot day, so Carin invited us to the Ladera water park. Well I debated about going and should have probably stayed home based on what happened. Well I got there and got the kiddos out of the car and realized I forgot their bathing suits. Of course the kiddos really wanted bathing suits. So off to Kohl’s we went. I found Justin a spider man suit but couldn’t find one for Nicole. I convinced her to go in the water with pink shorts and a Minnie shirt. Then on the way back to the water park, Carin called and said someone pooped in the pool and it was closed. Oh man! So we went to another little water park and a kiddo pool. Nicole and Justin had a great time in the pool. Nicole was jumping in and using her kick board. Justin lost his footing so in the water with my pants on. Oh well. Justin really wanted to go the fountain part of the pools, so we went over. Nicole and Sofi wanted back in the pool though. The kiddos got out of the pool and were starving. Lots of snacks and I couldn’t believe they stayed awake on the way home. We decided to skip dinner since so they had so many snacks. So we went to the grocery store. We tried to get one kiddo to stay home with daddy and one come with me. But the kiddos wanted each other to come to the store. So we all went. The kiddos put their dog/cat skateboards in the little carts and pushed them around. Nicole had a little melt down at the end of our store trip-all of a sudden she was starving. So we made a quick dinner and then played. We went upstairs and did our usual brush teeth, read books, etc. Hopefully soon it will be quiet up there.
