We are so spoiled in CA-one gloomy day and I miss the sun. We went to My Gym this morning for a make up class. The class was too crowded that the kids didn’t have as good of a time as usual. Then we went to In N Out for lunch-Yum. Bret ran around at nap time getting stuff for the weather station. I am on a mission cleaning out the house. In fact we did a big run to goodwill. We worked in the garage a bit as well. So not an exciting day. Bath night tonight.
We had a play date with Paula and Krista. We debated about walking to Krista’s as we are supposed to have a big rain storm. We decided to chance it and walk. The walk took forever as we had to look at everything, too cute. My kids had a blast at Krista’s. They loved the grocery carts and strollers. Justin played on the cool see saw and had a silly grin on his face the entire time (see pic). After nap, we went to the grocery store. The grocery store has little carts for the kids. I let them go wild. They had a blast but it was so crazy for me. Everyone laughed at us. Of course you can laugh when you aren’t the one going through it. Luckily it got better as I weighed their carts down with more food. Nicole decided to take her pajamas off again tonight when she was supposed to be going to sleep. It was really cute and I tried to laugh but I just wanted her to go to sleep. I tried the cupcake pan again, it is definitely getting better. Bret got a new weather station for Christmas so he is busy playing with that. Check out www.irvineweather.org soon. And I am just downloading a ton of pics to print at Costco.
This morning we dropped off lunch to a friend who is recovering from a hysterectomy. Then before the rain, we played outside. The kids pushed their babies in their doll strollers up and down the street. Nap time was crazy. They both threw everything out of their cribs, blankets, pillows, books and jumped up and down. I thought after a half hour they would calm down, but I was wrong. The funniest part was the kids wanted to sleep in each other’s cribs. It was so strange when I went up there and Nicole was in Justin’s crib. After nap we ran to Costco. Christmas keeps coming for me. I just got a huge cupcake pan (it was on backorder). Just in case mine is not picture worthy here is what the pan looks like. Well I need a lot more practice with making a large cupcake. I learned a lot. Here is the final cupcake, no laughing…check back it will get better with time.
This morning we went to the Santa Ana Zoo with Paula and Krista. The kids had a great time. They liked seeing the animals especially the monkeys and the train ride. But most of all they talk about their friend Katie hiding in the stroller. She was in the basket of the stroller, hopefully my kids won’t get any ideas. Also a big thrill was washing their hands in this big basin. After the zoo, we all went to Chick Fil A. The kids played in the play area. After nap we went to My Gym. You guys were so excited to go to the Gym. It was a great class, swings, train ride, bubbles, etc. While we were having all this fun dad was taking care of my car. Got the screw out of the tire and bought two tires. The kids had a blast riding in daddy’s car. And we are done dog sitting.
Before bath Nicole pooped in the potty for the first time. I don’t think she meant to as she was not too pleased about it. It was so gross to clean out of the potty. We decided the kids needed bathrobes rather than running around naked after bath and freezing. Tonight they kept them on for about 5 minutes, great purchase-huh? At least we got a cute picture. So we put the kids in their cribs said goodnight. All of a sudden I was headed out for a walk and I heard Nicole. I went up there and she was naked-ugh. It was really cute but I just wanted to get out for a walk.
As part of the new year one of my resolutions is to keep a blog. Why? Well since I married to a geek and my hand is killing from writing daily on calendars what I do with the kids, etc the logical thing was to finally blog. Bret was eager to set up the blog for me and I am sure he will be tweaking it until it looks perfect. We started off the new year by going to sleep @ 9:30 on New Year’s Eve. Of course at midnight I was woken up by people ringing in the new year. Today we took the kids to Kohl’s and Albertsons. Taking two 2 year olds with no stroller is not very smart. We enjoyed the beautiful day and played in the yard. We are also dog sitting for a neighbor’s dog named Cindy. During nap, Bret tried to get my tire fixed. While I dealt with two hyper kids. They were jumping up and down in their cribs then all of a sudden I heard Nicole say “diaper off”. I went up there to find Justin pulling off a poopy diaper-ugh. With new years comes the desire to lose weight so we got the cobwebs off the bike trailer and biked to the park with the kids. They thought it was funny to see us pedaling. They ate snacks and were happy in the trailer while we burned calories.
And Sears can’t fix it, what a surprise. Have to send Bret to Tucker tomorrow.
