Family Time
Nicole woke up so many times last night and was just wide awake. I had a hard time sleeping too. Guess we can’t have ice cream nights anymore. She is so cute and cuddly though in the middle of the night. But when she is asleep she is so kicky and movey if you are in bed with her. I went for a run this morning, did about 4.5 miles with a friend. I got home just as Nicole was waking up, she slept in. We were talking about Easter and a lightbulb went off in Justin’s head. He ran to get all the Easter eggs and baskets I saved from last year. They have so much fun opening eggs. Dad went to Starbucks. Then he called his car wouldn’t start, ended up being a wired that had been disconnected on the battery. We went outside to find daddy driving home. The kdis got in the car and loved turning with no seat belts on as they moved around the back seat. So funny. Then we played out front for a while. Dad mowed the lawn. The kids played with mud, so messy but fun. Affter cleaning the kiddos up we went to Blue Gum Park. The kids played really well in the sand and pretending the play structure was a boat. After lunch the kiddos used their drawing things. We gave the kiddos a bath. They decided to start spittting at each other. We kind of ignored it but they were laughing hysterically. Besides that they just fought in the tub. When they got out we went for a walk. Nicole keeps talking about taking a dance class so we walked to the dance studio to check it out. And looked into karate too. The kids just had fun playing in the shopping center. Just great fun! We came home and watched Curious George. After TV we played in the back yard. We put rocks from the back yard into the front and the kids were very helpful. Dad took out the moving dolly so Justin wsas really into it and happily playing with it. We did some gardening too. We went on the greenbelt for frisbee time. It was all fun and games until Justin got hit with the frisbee. So he and I came into play trains while dad and Nicole stayed out. We went out to eat tonight at a place that says home of the free ice cream, ugh! Came home and went upstairs. For some reason the last few days they have been going to bed a little late. I always feel like we are rushing the night time routine.
