Ah.. we had a mostly wonderful day today!!! Started off great with Robin and the kids coming over! They helped us color the Ocean Mural that goes with our Ocean unit!

Taejan did his part by staying out of the way:

After the mural was up we put up the great Ocean life stickers Owen got us a few weeks ago!…and yes I had 5 kids on my table to put said stickers on!

looks great doesn’t it??

They also brought us a new caterpillar! Jadziah named it Pony ( yeah just like the hermit crab..lol)

The kids played like crazy and had a great time before it was time for Owen and Lila to head home and us to head for lunch and naps . During Taejan’s nap we played games and Ziah is getting really good at slightly above age level game..it’s so nice!!

Once Taejan woke we headed outside.

I am ashamed to say we haven’t done this activity all summer… ack..we used to do it daily.. but that was before we met awesome friends..lol.. so yup..here’s what we hadn’t done and what the kids LOVE..

Yup just playing in the back with the hose.. they did it for THREE hours while mommy completely cleaned out the entire garage! Taejan seems to be getting out of the run the second he can stage so I was actually able to get so much done!!

So on they played!

Because Mommy was cleaning off strollers and such Taejan decided to clean his stuff!

Just playing so nicely together!

One last ride on the 4×4 for the day

So it was probably one of the best days we’ve had in a few .. it was awesome! I knew it was too good to end well though.. I had typed it all out but I won’t publish it..let’s just say it was a 23 month old verses the main road and Daddy “looking for the baby”.. I am a very upset mommy right now.. my baby is fine..thank goodness but it was close to not being all right..if anyone wants details you can e-mail me! For now I am off to put my kids to bed..hugging Taejan really tight before hand!
