Nice Day At Home

April 5th, 2009 by melissa

I slept so well last night. I went running this morning, about 6 3/4 miles. It wasn’t as good of a run as yesterdays. I should have taken a day off in between. When I got home the kids were all dressed, fed breakfast, and playing with toys. It took us a while to figure out what to do today. We let the kids do some painting. The kids were so demanding, asking for pain, paper, etc Bret and I couldn’t get them things fast enough. We showed them the birds nest under our eves by the front door. We also brought a carpet outside and the kids were painting then went dancing on the carpet. They were having fun. The painting became messy and the kids started using their fingers. It was all good as they needed to take a bath anyway. Justin and daddy went out to get food for lunch while Nicole and I played at home. It was fun. We had a great time together playing babies. After lunch daddy filled up a million water balloons. The kids got their bathing suits on and they threw balloons at the fence and the street. They were having a great time and daddy couln’t fill balloons fast enough. After they played with their water table, then they moved onto the house. They were having a great time together, playing so well. I went inside and Justin had fun spraying me in the window. All of a sudden the day was half over and the kids watched The Tigger Movie. Dad and I cleaned some stuff out and listed things on Craigslist. There was one part of the movie the kids didn’t like. Poor Nicole she hasn’t found one movie that she loves. So far she has seen one at Sea World that sprayed water on her (4D), a little of Cars, and Tigger. She thought the cars were mean to each other and she didn’t like the snow storm in Tigger. Justin loves the TV and likes everything. After TV the kids played a little with their hot wheel cars and track. Then we decided to head to the Spectrum. The kids rode their usual animals on the carousal, bunny for Nicole, Ostrich for Justin. We went into the toy store and the pet store. Oh my goodness the puppies were so cute! Then Nicole and I ran off as I wanted to look for some new jeans while dad and Justin went into the Apple store. They tried to ride the ferris wheel but the wait was way too long as the seatbelts were broken. Nicole and I had fun, I gave her a piggy back ride, carried her a bit, and she went back and forth running from one of my arms to the other. We went into the Skechers store and both tried on shoes. So much fun, we walked around fountains. We met up with dad and Justin for dinner. I only got about 20 minutes with Nicole but it was precious. After dinner we headed home. The kids read books and off to bed.
