Fun Day Out

Dearest Miracles~

Faith, you woke at 2am.  I nursed you and wouldn't go back to sleep .... you cried and screamed.  Daddy tried to walk with you.  You didn't feel warm.  I changed your diaper and then took you downstairs by 3am.  You ate an entire jar of food and I put you back in the crib by 4am.  I had insomnia after all that.  :-P  Joshua and Grace woke up by 7am .... Faith, you were sound asleep. 

We had a fun day out today!  First, we went to the last toddler story time of the year at the library.  This was the first one for daddy.  We learned about the letter 'F' for family.  You each got heart stamps on your arms at the end .... even Faith.  ;-)  You three loved the bubbles too!  We also returned our library books while there. 

After the library, we headed out to Chick Fil A for lunch. Everyone ate their entire meals including milk .... whoa!  You all spent a little time in the indoor jungle gym since you all ate so well. You 3 gathered into a little airplane .... it was so cute!  ;-)

We went by Uncle Brennan and Aunt Katie's house after.  You three met cousin Felix for the first time .... he was sleeping.  The dogs scared Joshua.  ;-)

After seeing Felix, we went to Target for groceries.  Joshua and Grace each ate two cookies.  Faith, you slept in the carrier on me.  We saw one of Joshua's teachers while there!  Ha!  

We got home around 3pm.  You all helped me vacuum out the van and put Joshua's new combo booster seat inside.  We'll wash Joshua's old seat and upgrade Faith into it.  Joshua and Grace practiced on their tricycles.  You all did very well pedaling in the garage with the level surface.  Faith, you played in the stroller. 

You all played some Wii games before cooking dinner.  Everyone ate well again!  Joshua and Grace both got baths before bed.  Faith, you had fallen asleep .... I hope you sleep better tonight.
