Week of Nana

At home

For Monday and Tuesday we had the girl's friend I watch over for the day so we were at home doing crafts, taking walks around the block and playing. We spent time playing games in the evening and catching up on all the things we do here in California since this is the first time she has visited us here. On Wednesday, we went to a big park with a lot of areas to play in and there were a lot of friends around too. Then we went on a craft finding mission to things for the girls to start making fun things and learning how to cut papers and glue. They used little puff balls and buttons and craft paper to make a rainbow on cardboard and we have extra material to use next time. We made a bead necklace for each girl that has the alphabet and rainbow colors out of my old beads and some from nana.

Thursday

In the morning we went to a children's museum for the girls to have fun exploring, learning, and playing with all the other kids who were there. We had reserved a 90 min spot so that's all we could stay for that long and the girls got to do everything there at least once and some of them more than once. They still didn't want to leave when time was up and Shay was sad to leave the kitty she had been carrying around there. I liked best when I matched them in their new outfits and hair so they were so cute when they would be away from each other or a little and then find each other again and hug. When we got home we relaxed for a bit and ate lunch then got ready for our beach trip! It was the first time going to this beach and it was a ways to walk until we got to the water but there wasn't anyone at our little beach and I made a castle and the girls helped decorate with shells they found in the water with daddy. 

 

Fairytale Town

This is one of the big things in Sacramento that people have told me kids will love so we went on Friday and spent the morning letting the girls explore. There were a lot of slides that the girls rode several times each, they liked riding in the tractor and trains, and playing pirate in the ship with a new friend Claire made all by herself. They fed the "big pretty fish" since nana had some quarter to buy it and got maps to help them find all the places around the park. Now that we are home they keep finding the maps and telling me they want to go back to the castle place so now I have to try to not disappoint them after such a fun filled week. I feel bad we won't be doing all these fun things anymore and just get to have their friend to watch and play with.
