Fighting Naps

Dearest Angels~

Joshua, somehow you ended up in our bed early.  I went into his bed and Grace crawled in with me. 

This morning, once everyone was up and moving, daddy went to Grandpa Mike's house to get work done on his car.  So, the three of us went to Gigi's house for some fun!  You all played with some flash cards and Joshua was impressive with his words!  :-)  You two also saw the fish and played with blocks.  You two drew on little magnetic boards.  I took some photos of you all playing with Gigi. 

While there, you all had your yogurt snacks and then had lunch.  You all split a 6 piece nugget meal and ate it all!  Woo hoo!  After lunch, you all got fresh diapers and then played with Gigi's tablet computer.  She put on some Veggie Tales to watch and then Joshua played 'Fruit Ninja'.  :-)

Grace, you really fought your nap.  There was a lot of crying and screaming.  Gigi and I both tried to calm you and rock you.  You ended up falling asleep on me in the rocker.  So, I ended up falling asleep with Grace for a little since she fell asleep on top of me.  :-P  Gigi tried to get Joshua to nap, but that was useless.  He stayed awake the entire time and played with Gigi.  Once Grace woke, we had a snack time and everyone got a clean diaper.  

We ended up leaving around 5pm once Grandpa Jim and Uncle James came over.  They were in Asheboro all day seeing Great Grandma and Great Grandpa.  They dropped off a bike at our house in the play room to use with the elliptical.  You all got to play with them briefly, but then we had to go home for dinner.  Once we got home, it started to rain.  Little man, you finally fell asleep in the van ride home.  

Daddy was already there.  He and Grandpa Mike got some work done on his car today, but they had to order some parts to finish.  So, daddy mowed the lawn once he got home and then we all had dinner.  After dinner, we cleaned the kitchen and then you two helped to fold our laundry.  A friend posted a quote earlier that states: Folding laundry with toddlers is like cleaning a desk full of papers with a fan blowing.  Ha!  Yes, you two try to help with the laundry, which we appreciate, but you two also tend to pull piles down or run off with socks that we're looking for .... Grace, I'm looking at you about that one!

We watched more Olympics this evening.  We saw our women's beach volleyball team win gold for the third consecutive Olympics!  They're probably the best beach volleyball team in the world!  Go USA!

Sleep tight little ones!

I love you both so much!
