TGIF
We came home to a clean house. Such a pain cleaning all the toys up, etc but so nice when the house is clean. I took the kids to Jump N Shout open play with some friends. The kids bounced and liked the trampoline. Sarah and Nicole were playing together. And Nicole was so excited to see Lexie. I love that they have friends now and look forward to seeing them. We hadn’t been to Jump N Shout in a while, so the kids were loving it. After we had lunch with Paula and gang @ In N Out Burger. Justin and Nicole were so well behaved, I loved it. We had a great lunch. I had an app’t to get my bangs cut today. The kids and I read books while we waited then they sat so patiently and watched me get my bangs cut. The kids loved that I was wearing a cape. It took just a few minutes but I was so proud of the kids. We went to the grocery store and got a few things. I let them get a treat for being so good (m&m cookies). We came home and walked Pali for a bit. We saw Zoe the dog out there so the kids threw the ball for her. Justin loves throwing it for Zoe. Justin loves to play with dogs where as Nicole likes to take care of them. We came in and watched Curious George then daddy came home early. Pali’s owners came to pick her up, I was worried the kids would be sad but they were not. Then Paula and kids came over. It was our turn to babysit while Paula and Todd went out. Sarah was so sweet and made little books for Nicole and Justin. We all started playing in the backyard then Michael asked so nicely to drive cars. The kids had a blast with the cars. They took turns really well. At first it was a little stressful on Bret and I but it was really fun listening to the kids laugh and have fun together. The kids loved chasing each other in the cars. We decided to take all 5 kids to Chick Fil A. I put the triplets in my car and Bret took our kids in his car. All went really well. They played in the play area, ate really well, but then Micheal threw up. It was probably from coughing so then we decided better head home. All the kids played outside in the backyard for a bit. Then everyone got their jammies on and we read some books. Justin was busy eating this big carrot we got from our backyard. All the kids ate some green beans from the yard too. I love our little garden. Nicole and Justin were tired but fought going to bed, asked for water, wanted to see their balloons from Chick-Fil-A, etc. Now it is nice and quiet.
