The kids slept in a little bit. But I heard them earlier, I think they only slept in cause I was on their floor. We were off early this morning to meet Vena. Vena and I got in a little walk around her neighborhood before play group. It was nice to walk and the kiddos did great in the stroller. Then we went to Vena’s to play for a bit. We couldn’t stay to long though. The kids still love Cole and Grant’s little guitars. We also went to the sing a long at Pottery Barn Kids in the MV Mall. It was so cute, the kids had a blast. The kids really liked this guy, they were dancing, jumping, clapping and participating. It was really crowded though but fun. Then we went and had lunch with some of our friends at the food court. The mall was pretty crowded today but we went into the play area after. The kids had fun. The climbed on everything, went down the slide, jumped, etc. Nicole liked playing with baby Tobin (Wendy). Then we went and walked through the mall and of course had to do all the kid things, light, train table at the Toy Professor, the Build A Bear store, etc. Nicole says her favorite part of the mall was going in the teddy bear store. I thought the kiddos may take a nap on the way home but no. Nicole had a melt down when we got home, ugh. Justin has been in underwear again at home, so far he does really well in the house. However yesterday while outside riding his bike he had an accident. He gets so distracted and forgets to go-guess I need to remind him often. One day it will just click. After tv time, we just played at home. The kids have never played so nicely. I was able to sit on the couch and work on Nicole’s tu tu I am making her. There was no fighting and they were sharing. They were playing ball together, building towers, etc. It was amazing! I started the cuckoo clock and the kids loved it. It was funny every time it cuckooed. Guess I have to turn it on once a year. Daddy came home and he fixed the tracks on the train table. The kids played trains while we made dinner. After dinner we decided to go up in the orange balloon at the Great Park. We got the kids so excited for it. When we got there, the line was too long. It sounded like we wouldn’t go up until 9:00ish, way past the kiddos bedtime. The kids kept on asking to go in it, we felt so bad. But they did enjoy watching the balloon and playing. The kids played on the grass and ran around. I love watching them play like that. They also watched these people dancing and gave them all high 5’s. We came home and it was time for bed. We went upstairs read a book-told stories and put the kiddos to bed.
