Monkey Tails: Weekend Update

Saturday after picking up the kids, we went home to get ready to go do some shopping. We had thought about swimming that day but decided to wait. We met Tia and Adrian at Academy where Devin got some shirts and we got two more of those awesome bubble guns. We then had lunch all together at Burger King and then it was off to Kmart so Devin could look for some mesh shorts. I so hate that store but luckily he found some. We then took the kids home for naps and then met up with Tio and Tia and Adrian after that. We went to Children’s Place for some jeans for Monks. He must have had a growth spurt or something because his jeans he got for Christmas are already too short. The 5T will feet in the waist, just not length. My baby boy is no longer in toddler pants and wears a size 4 in little boys. They are a tiny bit loose in the waist but since they make most pants adjustable, they work great! The length is perfect on him too. My tall skinny boy. Wonder where he got that from! Ha ha. We looked at jeans at Kmart but they looked cheap and were $17! At Children’s place they were so cute and stylish and on sale for $10 and I had a coupon on my phone. I bought him some jeans, Pippa a shirt and him a shirt for $18. Nice! We then went to eat dinner at Cici’s and then it was home to our house to hang out. The kids ran around playing while the adults played with Pippa’s new pink ball. We played volleyball with it and couldn’t let it touch the floor. Monks helped us while the babies played with the toy kitchen and food. We ended up knocking down a frame from a shelf, the chain from our fan and I fell off the ottoman in an attempt to hit the ball. Are we 6?! It was so much fun though and the kids couldn’t stop laughing. It was getting late and bedtimes were approaching so they left.

Pips got a crown in her kid's meal! Nice!

My dad used to do this to Pete and Phil all the time. Now Tio does it to Monks. Sweet.

All the babes at Kmart. I told Monks to smile and got a constipated looking face lol The kids were so cute in the basket. They were getting restless and we were waiting on Devin before we went to the toys and so we were right by the furniture. Monks sat at each table in a chair and would pretend he was eating and then would pretend fall asleep. When he fell asleep, I told the babies we had to wake him by clapping. They both would clap and clap as fast as they could until he "woke up" They loved and it and were laughing those deep belly laughs. Thanks Monks for playing along.

Sunday we went grocery shopping and then to Target to look around. We ate lunch and then decided to go swimming. The kids had lots of fun as usual and Aikman is getting to be quite the swimmer. He is so cute when he holds his breath to go under. Adorable! The kids were exhausted afterwards and went right to sleep when we got home. After nearly 4 hour naps, we ate dinner and did baths to get ready for the week! Another exciting and fun weekend for the Anderson’s!
