It is only 4:00 and I am exhausted. I dropped the kids off at school this morning, then did some errands and organized around the house. For some reason we always make a mess out of the house on weekends. I guess too busy playing. Nicole and Justin had some friends come over after school. It was really nice and the kids all played pretty well. Nicole got a little cranky near the end but I guess she was hungry. We even opened the wine this play date. One of the girls brought wine and it was so relaxing. This play date lasted a long time. I don’t think the last person left until after 3:30. In between though I did all my laundry. So great to have the kids play so well together. At one point I went upstairs and all the girls were in Nicole’s bed, too cute. Justin and his friends were busy playing race track. Cleaning up is always the bummer. But I think we are back to normal. The kids and I are pretending we are at a hotel and we all have our laptops, feels great to sit down. So I tried for hours to get the kids in the bath but they just kept on having more and more fun. We played upstairs. Since they never get play time upstairs they were having a blast. Justin brought all his cars up. I put away laundry and then started editing pics. They were wild chasing each other, mind you naked since like I said we were supposed to take a bath. They read books, hung out in our bed, pretended doctor with their animals, and messed up their rooms again. Dad came home and I was editing pics and the kids were in Nicole’s room with the door shut quietly reading books. After dinner we had wild and crazy kids once again. Nicole and Justin were jumping all over the couch, took all the cushions off and more jumping. Nicole keeps saying clap for me. Finally at 6:50 I got them in the shower, I had been trying since around 4:00. They took the fastest showers ever so they could watch a little TV. While they watched I edited some more photos. We only read them a few books since it was getting late. Justin was exhausted.
