This morning the kiddos and I went to Orchard Park. We met some friends there. It was so nice out, perfect morning to go to the park. The kids played soccer for a bit then played in the sand. I don’t think they even got on the play structure. We came home and just hung out at home. We got the Geotrax out so the kids played with that for a bit. After lunch they did water colors. Dad and I worked on cleaning out a cabinet as we think the downstairs shower is leaking, ugh. I emptied the cabinet so the kiddos had fun playing with the stuff that came out, candles, etc. They were singing happy birthday to each other. We played troll toll. The kids had to pay a toll to me to be able to cross my bridge, then Justin was the troll. Nicole wanted us to come down and see her dance, she needed a hard floor. We played with trains for a bit. Dad built a cool track around the train table. The kids fought a bit over freight cars, fun stuff. The kids watched utube videos with daddy on his laptop. Justin cracks up when he hears a dog say I love you, they watched swimming dogs, etc. They watched a Curious George and we got ready to go to the beach. We were supposed to meet some friends in Dana Point. But I got the days wrong, it is actually tomorrow. When I called my friend to tell her I was here, she was like where? Bret was getting so annoyed with traffic, finding parking spot, etc so when he heard I got the day wrong, all we could was laugh. We ended up having a great family time at the beach. Justin couldn’t wait to get in the water. Nicole was a littel hesitant at first, so I hung out with her on the sand and made sand castles. She did go in the water and the kids had a blast. I wish we would have brought dinner. So we couldn’t stay too long. We went to Hennesy’s for dinner and headed home. The kids were telling toddler jokes on the way home and cracking each other up. I love when they get so silly. They got the cones out and were running on the green belt. Finally we got them in but only had time to read 3 books. They are loving things hanging from their door knobs of their rooms. They are sleeping soundly and Bret and I are tired.
Oh Nicole got her picture in the oc register newspaper for ice skating. These are the two pics:
