Bowling, Beds and Beaches

It has been a fun-filled couple of days for us around here.  Thursday hubby was off for the day and we took the little ones to McD's to meet Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Ninny for lunch.  Always an adventure of course. 

Then Mommy and Daddy took the three little ones bowling.  It was so much fun.  We had free bowling coupons for all three kids to play 2 games.  We only had to pay for the shoe rental which was $4.  Thankfully they didn't have shoes to fit Schnooky Bear and Missy Miss so we got off cheap.  Although, Mr Schnooky Bear took it quite personally that they did not have bowling shoes for him to wear.

Woobie liked to carry his own ball and try to put his fingers in the holes.  A few times I thought he was going to launch himself down the lane with the ball. 

Schnooky Bear and Missy Miss had tons of fun too.  We of course had the bumpers up and part of the time they used this ramp to put the ball on and then pushed it down the ramp and onto the lane. 

We all really enjoyed the experience.  We are looking forward to going back.  By the way Missy Miss won both games with her score being 108 for the last game.  You go girl!!!

That evening after we got home we all jumped in the pool for some splashing around.  Then it was dinner and bedtime for all of the munchkins.  Daddy and I enjoyed a relatively quiet dinner of taco salads just the two of us, oops I mean the three of us!!  As we were finishing up, Missy Miss made an appearance in the kitchen.  She had taken a late nap on the way home from bowling and apparently was not ready for bed just yet.  The boys crashed almost the moment their heads hit the pillow.  We finally got Missy to bed about 9pm.

Friday was Daddy Daycare day as I had to work and he was enjoying yet another day home from work.  Daddy was at home waiting for the second bed to arrive which by the way is much softer and more comfortable than the other one by a mile.  Daddy and the crumb crunchers met the grandparents for lunch at the usual hangout and then they came home for an afternoon of playing outside on the playground and then inside for a rousing game of Candyland before Daddy fed them and they were all fast asleep before 7pm.

Phase 2 of the great bed experiment has now commenced.  She stayed in her bed all night.  She called out a couple of times in search of the lost binky, but she did not get out until around 0630 this morning.  We will have to see how tonight goes.

Today Daddy got to go riding on his Harley for a couple of hours and then we all loaded up in the van and took off for Aunt Krissy's beach house.  Peanut wasn't able to join us as he had to work today.  We arrived at the beach house a little before 1pm.  The burgers and hot dogs were hot off the grill and ready to eat. 

After eating lunch and meeting Aunt Krissy and Uncle Howie's new "daughter" from Germany we all geared up and headed down to the beach.  It only took about 30 minutes to get everyone dressed in their swimsuits and slathered up with sun lotion.

Down at the beach we splashed in the waves and then Daddy took Woobie back out to the big waves while I dug in the sand with the the other munchkins.  We then sat in the surf for a while and let the kiddies splash around. 

We stayed and visited for an hour or so after coming up from the beach and then we headed home around 4pm before the storms hit.  A really fun time for all of us.

After arriving home and feeding everyone it was time for a a couple of games of Chutes and Ladders.  Ah memory lane!!!  Daddy won the first one and Schnooky Bear won the second.  At that point Woobie had a meltdown over not winning any of the games.  He has not learned the fine art of being a gracious loser. 

Everyone was asleep by 730pm and then I took the Nonster for a walk to burn some of her energy and some extra calories for me to make up for the cake I had at the beach house.

Update-Missy Miss just walked in our room at 1035pm.  I have put her back to bed with her binky.  Hopefully she will stay there!!  The great bed experiment continues. 

Goodnight all!!!
