Marbles


Dearest Angels~

I was up at 7am this morning and everyone else was still asleep.  It was still dark outside from raining so I thought it was earlier.  It ended up being a cooler rainy day.

Once we were all up for the day and had our snack time, we headed out for a family outing!  We headed to a kid's museum and activity center downtown called Marbles.  We've never been there before.  Today was their 5 year anniversary, so they had free admission.  I thought it would be nice to go since it was a rainy day .... of course, so did the rest of the city!  Whoa was it crowded! 

You all had so much fun though!  They had so many different activity centers there and difference rooms depending on how old you were.  There were toys everywhere!  We probably saw about half the stuff there since it was crowded and Grace got a little cranky.  At one point she didn't want to hold our hands and we didn't want to lose her!  :-P  I took photos of you all playing in the toddler room before we headed to another area. 

Right outside, there was an Irish festival going on.  The rain let up a little, so we got to walk around and hear live music!  Then, we went to Big Ed's for lunch.  Joshua, you were so impressive!  You ate everything in front of you!  Daddy got a sausage omelet and I got a bacon omelet.  You ate bacon, sausage, eggs, toast, biscuits, and applesauce.  Grace, you ate ok .... but you impressed us too since you self fed yourself a little bowl of applesauce with minimal mess!  ;-)

As we were leaving, we met a singer sitting next to us who was singing with the symphony tonight!  He sang a little song for you two and put your names in it!  How cool!  

We came home after and Grace fell asleep in the car.  She woke once we were back home.  We played a little in the bonus room and then Joshua went down for a nap.  Aunt Katie came by to visit right when he was falling asleep.  So, Grace got to play with her.  You two did some coloring, played with some stickers, and Aunt Katie read to you, little lady.  Joshua, you woke once she was leaving. 

Afterward, we watched a little of the UNC football game.  We won by .... uh .... a lot!  The final score was 66-0 which was a school scoring record!

You two helped us cook a nice dinner!  Daddy grilled some steaks and we made rice and veggies (onions, apple pieces, peas, carrots, and corn) inside on the stove.  Yummy!

We folded lots of laundry this evening.  You two had some more art time with crayons.  We had some more biscuit kicks too!  We backed up the laptop and then you all had a nice bath before bed.

Sleep tight little ones!

I love you both so much!
