Mellow Day
We were up and out the door to Grammy’s for breakfast. Sharon and her daughter were there as well. The kiddos were a little shy at first but before you knew it they were talking up a storm. We had breakfast and the kiddos played with all the toys. They also played upstairs. They liked the office chairs, rolling them around the floor, and spinning them. Nicole found a dolly she loved and Justin found a stuffed animal (Wingnut) he loved. Grammy also gave them a little toy computer which they loved and fought over. The kiddos fell asleep on the way home and got a power nap. The kiddos watched Barney and Elmo’s World. Then we were outside playing for a while. We went to the front yard and made a little mud pit in our planter. Justin loved playing with the hose, of course, and happily helped make the mud pit. Nicole and daddy went in. Nicole loved putting her feet in. But not for long, she had to have Justin wash them off as soon as possible with the hose. Nicole would go in then get out then go in, etc. We decided to do water in the backyard. We got the water table out then the pool. The kiddos had fun playing in the water. Bret made the kiddos a little sno cone with raspberry syrup. We think we are going to go ahead and re-do the back yard, so we started pulling out plants, lot of work, but kind of fun. Then we came in and played. We were in every room of the house playing. The kiddos started to get a bit cranky though. So we thought it was best to eat dinner. While we were making dinner, we got markers out and the kids were happy coloring. After dinner we got the paints out. The kids loved it! Paint everywhere. We actually had to give the kids a bath tonight due to so much paint all over them. Kiddos are sound asleep and time for me to go to bed.
