Order has been restored. The house is starting to get cleaned up. As I sit here and type though, I realize I have more birthday decorations to take down-ugh. This morning the munch kins were up early and I barely slept last night. With a little help from coffee I started functioning. I dropped the kiddos off at school and did some work there. Then I had to head to the dentist for a teeth cleaning. Wow I have sparkling clean teeth. It took so long though so I barely had any time to myself. I picked the kiddos up and they played outside with their friends, running around and having a great time. We ran an errand on the way home and came home. The kiddos played and wanted to open all their new toys. I let them watch TV and I cleaned. The house is getting there. I am dragging tired today though. I had to call a bunch of people back for pre school. After TV I gave the kiddos a bath. I tried to keep them in the bath for a long time so I could get some stuff done. They did crayons in the bath which they haven’t done in so long. After bath the kids pretended to write in journals like they do at school. This morning though Nicole couldn’t find her journal at school; she was so sad. Ms Donna gave her a new one but I wish I had her old one. I started gathering toys to get rid of, time to clean out. We went out front to play for a bit. The kids got out their scooters and Nicole found her little red dog in the backpack on her bike. She thought she lost this dog-she was so excited to have found it. We had fun outside. When dad got home the kids wanted to go to the toy store to exchange duplicate presents. We went and Justin got a hot wheels race set. I can’t get over how cheap toys are these days, not in price but in quality. Nicole got the video of Curious George Goes To the Hospital. She loved the book so much that we checked out from the library. The video is as old as the book but she loved it. We had a mellow night. Justin and I read books while Nicole colored with daddy. The kids fell right to sleep. We are going to relax and watch TV.
