Well Nicole woke up with a fever today, ugh. She was acting strange and sleepy so we knew something was wrong. She woke us up last night twice to put her blanket on for her. We were supposed to take Zach and his friend to Hollywood, but we thought Nicole should rest. So Justin and daddy went. Nicole was 100% better after giving her Tylenol. We had fun playing. We read lots of books. Then we had a birthday party for pink teddy and invited all his friends, My Little Ponies, and some doggies. Nicole loved it. Since she was feeling better I decided to go to a practice session at the ice skating rink. So scary to get back on skates but it came back to me. I had fun skating with my little girl. She is so determined to get skating. She is getting better and better. She did fall asleep on the way there but was as happy as can be when we got to the ice skating rink. On the way home we stopped at the grocery store to get supplies to make dad’s birthday cake (carrot cake). Nicole helped me bake the cake. We had fun in the kitchen and she couldn’t wait to help. While the cake was cooking we watched Strawberry Shortcake. It was so strange not having Justin with me. I missed him so much. When dad and Justin came home, Justin told us all about his day. He saw Batman, Elmo, Spiderman, storm trooper, and dad and him took a picture with Supergirl. Can’t wait to see that one. Justin talked about the candy shop where he got black licorce, gross but he liked it. He talked about the restaurant too, where he needed to find metal to attach a magnet. I think he liked his juice box best. We all had a great time today but too bad we were separated for so long. We all had dinner but it was a quick dinner since cake was at the end. Nicole ate most of the frosting and Justin ate both cake and frosting. This was the first time they had carrot cake. We went outside after dinner to play for a bit. The kids rode bikes and scooters and dad got on his scooter. I did some gardening. We came in and read a lot of books. Nicole actually fell asleep before we were done reading. I got to cuddle with Justin for a bit then he went to sleep. Have to get organizrd around here as the cleaners are coming tomorrow.
