Thursday

Garrett got dropped off around 6:15 AM. He said he'd eaten breakfast so Brad just gave him a yogurt cup. Garrett said he was full so he didn't finish it. Hannah didn't finish hers yesterday, either. I suspect the Yoplait may not be as tasty as advertised. He played with toys while Hannah slept.

Hannah woke up around 7:45 AM in her own bed. She had pink moo and toasty sticks for breakfast.

We washed and brushed (Hannah's teeth) and headed out the door to meet Susanne and kids at the Lazy 5 Regional Park. The kids played at the playground for a little while and had dried fruit for a snack. We went over to the water play park around opening time only to find out that they were not going to open until June 4th. Hannah was very upset that we couldn't stay and it took her a little while to calm down. Garrett was really easy-going about the whole thing. He's such a cool little dude.

We decided to let the kids eat their lunches at the picnic tables and move the party to the Coconut Bowl. Lunch was turkey and cheese sandwiches with chips and apple juice. Our friend, Tracy, and her kids came by the park and went to the Coconut bowl with us.

The Coconut Bowl has this play area indoors with a huge climbing structure and foam balls you shoot through air guns. They climbed all over that thing until Hannah got stuck and panicked. Then she said she hurt her leg but was fine after she cried it out. Overall, they appeared to enjoy themselves. We left a little later than I had planned to and got back to the house just before 2 PM.

The kids said they were hungry when we got home, so I fed them cheese and crackers with milk for a snack.

I put them down for quiet time around 2:15 PM even though it was so late because they were going to fall to pieces or knock each other over or both. I gave two warnings for them to go to sleep and they didn't settle down, so I moved Garrett's nap mat to the living room where he fell asleep quickly. Hannah finally conked out just before 3 PM.

Jim picked up Garrett just before 4 PM. We chatted for a bit before he and Garrett went home. Hannah woke up around that time. I let her watch a cartoon while I got dinner started. Brad got home at 5:30 PM.

[Reminder: this is the part about me. It may be extremely boring. You have been warned.

Laundry. That's pretty much it today. Just laundry. Oh, and I changed the sheets on our bed which made more laundry.]
