A Super Awesome Fun Day!!!!!

Yesterday I didn't have any of the kids I watch so we took full advantage of our free day!! I had a few errands to run so we went out and about in the community! My plan was to hit up story time at 10:00. I knew there was story time at our local library and I thought there was also story time at Barnes and Noble. Since I had a few things to pick up at Target I thought it would be easiest to go to Barnes and Noble since it is in the Mall and so is Target. Oops, Barnes and Noble doesn't have story time. Eli didn't mind though. As soon as we walked in he was asking to play with the trains. So we did!!!

Eli loves the trains!

Jude didn't mind

Eli was starting to lose interest in the trains and I could tell he was looking to run so I took him to the play place inside the mall to play. This is the first time he has ever played at a place like this and he absolutely loved it! He did great climbing up the different toys and going down the slides. He loved to just be able to run around. There was a few times he walked over to the stairs that led out of the play place and I just told him that if he went on the stairs then we would have to leave and he went back to playing. Since we were there right when the mall was opening it wasn't too crowded. Jude slept the majority of the time so I just carried him around in his carseat. After we played for a while it started to get more and more crowded with rough kids whose parents didn't feel the need to watch their children so it was time to go. We ran our few errands and then headed home.

Jude was such a good boy!

We got home and had some lunch and then headed out onto our upstairs deck to play for a little bit before nap time. Eli loves it out there, especially when we can see dogs in our neighbors yards. Reggie and Maggie really like it out there too.

I love my boys!

Since it was such a gorgeous day I knew we needed to get outside and play. After nap I got both of the boys covered in sun screen and we headed out back to play. Jude got to sit in the grass for the first time but wasn't a big fan. I don't blame him, it was very dry and itchy. Eli loved being able to run around and play. We had his golf set, bubble mower, and soccer ball so he had a blast! He is such a boys boy! I hope we can get some more things for him to do outside because I know we are going to spend a lot of time outside this summer.

Jude had fun in the exersaucer

Jude started to get a little fussy because he was getting hot and I knew Eli wasn't ready to go inside yet so I asked Eli if he wanted to go for a walk in the wagon. He was very excited wagon the wagon! I was very excited too. Eli got this wagon for his first birthday from my dad. At that time I was about 8 or 9 weeks pregnant with Jude and I remember thinking how wonderful it would be to take both of my babies for walks in this wagon. It was more wonderful than I even imagined. I love to see how Jude looks at Eli. The are so great together!

First wagon ride together :-)

This was an absolutely wonderful day! I went a little picture crazy but I am so glad I was able to capture each and every moment to share with everyone.
