I worked on painting the kiddos fire engine and bird house. I also did a huge load of laundry. The kiddos played for a while. We also played some games, Memory, High Ho Cherry-o, etc. Then we headed out to Fashion Island. The kids have been wanting to go there lately. We didn’t have too much time there but the kids played by the fish for a bit. It didn’t last as long as I had hoped. I am in the middle of a book and I was able to read while they played. We went and had lunch. I treated them to ice cream, it was a fun outing. We headed over to Grammy’s for an afternoon of play. The kids played with the toys upstairs for a long time. We went swimming-it was cold. But we had a blast in the pool. Nikki was wild in the pool. Jumping into the floatie, jumping on me, pretending to be Shamu, etc. Justin was on the kick board practicing his strokes. He got cold though and got out. He was so cold and wanted to take a warm shower. So the kids took a bath at Grammy’s and had a great time. Unfortunately Justin was kind of showing Nikki his penis and it was a big discussion in the bath. I think it was just because there were no bath toys but may have to re-think this bathing together. After they were naked for a while. They were busy playing. Grammy showed me this dress for Nicole that has a matching dress for her dolls that she got for birthday or Christmas. I was worried about the size though. We told her Grammy bought it for Meghan (didn’t show her the doll dress) and could we try it on to see how it fits her. Nikki said she loved it and to keep this one for her and buy Meghan another one. Grammy is going to exchange it for a bigger size-I hope they have the same one as it was really cute. Dad came to Grammy’s, kids still naked. They were playing so well but around 6:30 we were all getting hungry. They were mostly playing with the fisher price people, the cars, and the swings. We went to Norms for a quick dinner then headed home. Justin drove with me which was nice to have Justin time. Nikki went with daddy. Kids were pretty tired-me too!
