Today was going to be a good day. I had planned that we were going to go w/ some friends to the park this morning. A bunch of moms club friends of mine we going and I would be able to chat w/ friends plus the kids would be totally happy playing on the play structors and enjoying the outdoors. It started off perfect the kids were all in good moods and were excited about going. We got there and everything was fine... Jonas was playing on a huge rock and Miranda was playing w/ her girlfriends. Then the boys were having a hard time getting off the rock so I walked over there to get them down and all of a sudden..... a friend calls out to me H (daycare child) is BLEEDING.... WHAT! I run to see what is going on and all I see is H crying w/ blood down her face. I ran to her grabbed her and started to clean her up... what did I see but it looked like she had bit thru her lip. Yikes. First thought was breath... second thought call her parents because this may need stiches... third thought again breath.... Got her all calmed down and her mom was on the way. Got home w/ the clan and H wanted to eat... this point I knew she was doing better. My friend brought over some lunch for the kids she knew my focus was on H. I broke hers into little peices and she ate like a champ. Poor thing. Her mom came and took her home. I called her later and she was doing good. Made for a crazy start to the morning.
On to the second thing that happened today.... when Josh got home I went into the bedroom to talk to him about the day and I hear laughing.... I love to her children laughing but this should have been my clue to go and check on what was going on. My friend had come into the door to pick up her son so I walked down the hall and here came Maya w/ something pink all over her. WHAT THE HECK! Walked into the playroom and Miranda had been flinging Yogurt all over Maya and anything else in her way.... then I decided that since all daycare were gone I needed to run and get somethings and the min I got into the store I get a call.... Where is the finger nail polish remover... WHAT! Miranda had decided that it would be a great idea to PAINT her whole body. Man that girl! When I return home Josh had Miranda in the bath and had scrubed her down as best he could. I finished the work and she still has finger nail polish on her... If this is what life is like when she is three I hate to see what is going to happen when she is in her teens... Josh and I have our work cut out for us.
Miranda birthday went off w/ a bash. We had over fifty people to our house for dinner and cake. It was a blast. The kids spent the time throwing water balloons and running thru the sprinkler... It was a very warm day so that gave everyone a chance to get cold off. My sister in-law made two wonderful cakes that were so yummy! Miranda had the best time and now she is a three year old little girl... no more a baby! 
Memorial Day weekend we went to South Beach to tent camp w/ Josh's brother Nate and Leslie and the kids. It was the first time to take Maya camping. She did so good. I had taken friday off so that I could go to school w/ Jonas. That was a blast.. I was able to go and play on the play ground w/ him and his buddies and see how he did in his classroom w/ his friends there. It was great. Wish that I could do it more often. Then Jonas and I walked home and finished packing the van then we were off. The first night of camping was very windy which made it cold. The next morning was chilly but the wind had died down. Everyday the weather got better and better. On Sunday we went and got some sandwhichs and had a picnic lunch at Devil's punch bowl. Nate and Leslie had decided that they needed to go home so we went out and checked and found a really nice beach that didn't have any wind. It was perfect. We spent time on the beach and went and got some ice cream. It was nice to just rest on the beach. Then back to the camp ground we went and I made yummy dinner. Then we decided to check another trail and head back to the beach and watch the sunset. The trail was much better then the prior one. When we got there the kids ran down a huge sand hill and going back and forth. It was great. Back for much needed showers and off to bed they went. Monday we pack up and headed for Mo's for my favorite tuna melt (thanks to my mom). Then we took the kids to check out the sea lions. Which they loved. Maya was totally unsure we she was suppose to do... Can't wait to get back out there and do it again... I love camping!
