This morning we were out early. We dropped daddy off at work so he could bike home, then headed to the foot doctor. The kiddos watched Elmo while I got my orthodics. Then we headed to Fashion Island. We had a great time reading books in the bookstore. We read Curious George, Thomas books, Train books, Purpilicious, etc. We played outside by the Koi pond. The kids had a great time and it was a beautiful day. They brought their doll strollers as well and had fun racing them around Fashion Island. They jumped over the stepping stones and loved finding the fish. We went to the really big fountain. Everytime the water went high up they screamed and covered their heads (they were not going to get wet anyway). It was fun to watch. We went to the pet store and there were 2 or 3 dogs I could have taken home with us, so cute. The kids loved watching the dogs play and the hamsters run around chasing one another. Justin just lets out these awesome screams. We met Jen (Ryan and Matthew’s mom) for lunch. It was nice to catch up since she started working we haven’t see her much. After lunch the kiddos played a little more by the Koi pond and we left. On the way home I needed to stop at Costco for some snacks as I am snack mom tomorrow. We came home and watched TV.It was beautiful out so we decided to hop in the bike trailer and head to Blue Gum Park. We had so much fun The kids loved putting sand on the slide and sliding down it-they were laughing so hard. They have been loving playing in the sand. On dad’s bike ride home he stopped us and joined us at the park. The kids were in the swings, they loved twisting the chain and spinning. So weird to see them on big kids swings. My babies are growing up. We came home and the kids grabbed a little bag with handles and pretended to go to work. So silly. During dinner I took a green bean and gave the other half to Nicole in our mouths (like the licorce kiss). Then Justin and Nicole did it, it was hilarous. After dinner we just played. Upstairs, we read a few books and told stories. The kids went to bed and Nicole called us. She said she needed to wash her hands then she went right to bed.
