I still have this lingering headache, ugh. I dropped the kiddos off at pre school. I hate leaving them but they always have fun and I enjoy my time. I ran to the grocery store and then tried to relax a bit. I picked the kiddos up from school and we headed to Lexie’s birthday party. The kids did lots of crafts and had fun. They had pin the tail on the donkey where our daughter tried to cheat by looking up at the bottom of the mask. They did an egg hunt and games, duck duck goose, etc. It was a cute party. The kids were a little fighty when we got home but then played nicely. They loved looking through their goody bags of course. The kid played for a bit-seems as though everything needs batteries. The kiddos watched Curious George while I got ready to pack up the kiddos to see Christmas lights. After George we went outside to wait for daddy. We played freeze tag. They were giggling and having fun. We headed out to the Newport Dunes for the lighting of the Bay. The kids loved the sand and little play structure. Nicole was in the swing for a long time. We had dinner there then watched various signers and dancers. Justin just cuddled on me almost the entire time-I loved it. I think he just wanted me to warm him up. Then Santa came and lit up the Bay. The kids talked to Santa only to get candy canes. Nicole stuck to the fact she wanted a doll house and Justin a race track. The kids decided they were starving so luckily I had snacks with me for the way home. Justin and I cuddled in his bed tonight. I almost fell asleep. So nice having a big twin bed now, there is more room for me. Nicole seemed hyper but went to bed pretty easily. She gave me a nice back scratch then wanted to talk about the guy she didn’t like in the Alvin and Chipmunks Christmas DVD.
