Another fun day. This morning we hung out at home. We were supposed to have someone fix the dining room light and the garderner, but neither showed. Oh well we had fun at home. The kids did lots of performances for me, pretending to be Chip and Dale. Nicole put on her Minnie shoes and Justin his new car shoes, for some reason it was way better dancing in their shoes. The kids played by themselves a bit too. Then they colored and did stickers. They are so proud when I hang up their work on the fridge. After lunch we went for the kid’s swim lessons. Both kids are doing really well. I played in the water a bit with them before their lesson. Both kids were showing me how they go under water-they went under water together and looked at each other. They were also loving jumping in with their floaties. Very soon they will be swimming on their own. They practiced swimming with their face in the water (crawl stroke) then turning over on their back to float. After swimming, we went to Big Wheel Park with our play group. The kids love this bike park. Justin was on his bike almost the entire time. It is gated so very safe, and the kids just ride their bikes around-there are tunnels, bridges, speed bumps, gas stations, etc. Justin was having a great time hanging out with Mikey. Nicole biked for a while then pushed a baby around in her stroller. She also played in the wood chips and made cakes for her friends. Nicole did not want to leave and was a little upset, she had so much fun. On the way home we stopped at the farm and got some fruit and veggies. The kids love this farm. Too bad we were in a hurry to get home as I like to show them everything that is growing. We ate dinner. Now I know why the kids were a little melty-they were starving. I can’t believe how much they ate. We made mini ravioli’s and the kids either loved them or were starving. Dad played with the kids for a bit while I cleaned up. It was the messiest dinner ever. Justin has been taking care of his seeds that he planted from school. We thought it was beans but turns out it is sunflowers. The plant is huge now. It is taller than daddy and has two big sunflowers starting to bloom. We went upstairs and the kids seemed tired. We played a bit, we were throwing pretend balls for our kids, I mean dogs. We read lots of books. And Nicole is teaching her baby how to swim. I still hear them chatting away up there, I could have fallen asleep in the kid’s beds, I am tired.
