Today was a day
It started at the crack of dawn just as it has the last few days. Nathan seems to have something wrong with his internal clock because he has been waking up at 5:45 for the past three days. This has of course made for some rather hectic afternoons filled with tons of three year old angst. Today wasn't going to be any different.
We started out the day going to Jared's soccer game, he did amazing today. He was paying attention to the ball and actually keeping up with the group. It was definitely hot today though and by mid way through the game he had had it and was pooped out.
Nick tried to bribe/convince the boys to take a nap this afternoon. Somehow this always backfires on me, they never do it and I end up getting upset with them. After thirty minutes went by and I knew they wouldn't be napping, we got out of the house instead.
Up the street is the SanTan Village Mall area. They have a really great children's play area, including a splash sprinkler area. Jared ran into a boy who lives down the street and is in kindergarten at his school as well. They know each other from the playground and recess and stuck together inbetween the regular play area and the splash area. Jared and Nathan were completely soaked. I didn't have a change of clothes with me so we drip dried while we walked around. I treated them to chocolate dipped cones at DairyQueen. This was their first experience with the dipped cones and they are both in love.
Jared with his friend and Nathan is behind the water
Nick texted me and asked if I was trying to mop the floor with them, my answer, yes!!
They are in the shower right now and I'm figuring bedtime will come for them at 7pm.
Oh, here is my latest sock, Monkey by Cookie A. I'm knitting this in Yarntini Boardwalk. I finished another pattern repeat last night so I'm another inch closer to my goal.
