This morning went by so fast, all of a sudden it was time for Monster Machine class for Justin. I dropped Nicole off at Paula’s to play with the girls and Micheal came with me. Dad was able to meet us there as well. It was at Waste Management. It ended up being a let down though. The class wasn’t that great at all but the kids did like looking at everything.

Nicole had fun playing with Katie and Sarah, when I got to Paula’s Nicole was dress up like a kitty.

We all had lunch together but Justin was too excited to play with the trains. It was so nice having someone make lunch so I didn’t have to think about it. The kids had fun playing at Paula’s house. We left to go to our swim lesson but found out it was canceled. I got the time wrong as well, oops. Nicole shared how upset she was she couldn’t go swimming. So we came home for a bit then headed to Meadowwood pool. My friend was nice enough to lend me her key. The kids had so much fun! I can’t believe how much they love the water. Justin got a bit cold so we ended up going in the kiddie pool as it was a little warmer. Nicole is getting more and more brave in the water. She was starting to do belly flops (dives) in the little pool. Then dad showed up. He got off work a little early as he is working tonight. Nicole and daddy went to the big pool and Justin and I stayed in the little pool. Justin was loving being on his back and using big arms and kicking his legs. He was so funny he told me it was like a dog paddle but backwards. I was giving Justin a shower and I looked up and Nicole was diving into the big pool. It was so amazing and cute. I wish I had the video camera. I am so proud of her. She was also wanting to dive down to get rings. Nicole’s eyes were so red from being under the water almost the entire time. We came home and the kids did some water color painting and we had dinner. Daddy had to do some work in Chino Hills, help someone with their firewall. The kids were playing grocery store but it was so nice out so I suggested the park. Tonight was unbelievable the kids had so much fun together. They played so well-no stress for me at all. The kids played soccer at the park and were running aound like crazy. Then threw the ball over the volleyball net. They kept on plopping in the sand on their bottom and they were just laughing hysterically. So great to see them play so well. They are very lucky to have each other. They were even still nice to one another when we got home, taking turns doing somersaults on the couch, getting each others waters, etc. I was getting ready to read them some books and I look up and they are carrying the little froggy table with umbrella down the hall. They worked together to carry it very carefully. Both their heads would be under the umbrella and then Nicole would lower it and the kids would just laugh as their heads were under the umbrella. We read lots of books and just had some cuddle time. The kids went right to bed and I am enjoying some peace and quiet. But the kids just amazed me how well behaved they were tonight.
