this morning, i got up at 5 to go to the gym early. as i was getting up, i hear little feet on the stairs. malloy and rex were both coming upstairs - in the dark! i told them it was still bedtime and put them back to bed. i don't think they went to sleep - neal said they got up at 6.

we changed it up and went to a playdate at a new park today! the kids had a great time!! rex stayed dry at the park and asked to go pee twice. i had the travel potty set up right next to the blanket so that he could go whenever he needed - it worked out great!

goobers. this is how they were waiting for me when i came up onto the deck :)

both kids took close to 3 hour naps today! malloy slept in our bed and rex slept in his bed - they both went to sleep no issue! after nap, we had some popcorn and then headed out to the mall. it was time to get new shoes for school! malloy was very excited to get her feet measured and pick out her own shoes! she picked out a pair of cinderella light up shoes. (these are the shoes i predicted she would pick when i looked at them online - they light up and there's "turquoise" on them!) rex got a pair of spiderman shoes with light up eyes. they were so cute stomping around the store watching their feet. rex stayed dry at the mall, too! 

for dinner, we had chicken nuggets and salad. both kids LOVE salad! i never would have thought that they would eat it, but they prefer it over a lot of other cooked veggies! 

neal worked late tonight, so i did the feeding, bathing, clothing, brushing, reading, singing, and putting to bed! phew! the kids were pretty good about being cooperative for me. it was fairly quiet after i put them down, but they were still up when neal got home. he went in to say goodnight and then i went in to check rex's diaper to find that malloy had peeled MORE paint off of the wall by her bed. there's a huge white spot where the paint used to be. i have no idea how to stop it or why she's doing it! we'll have to come up with something quickly!!
