I was so sluggy this morning. I kept on getting up and making sure the kids had their covers on. Justin came in our room and I took him back to his bed. I slept in there for a bit. Dad and the kids came downstairs so I could sleep but who can sleep in this loud house-ha. The kids and dad were building the marble race thing. We got ready and walked over to the Heritage Library. The kids waved to cars and trucks on the freeway overpass. Justin just loves that. The story time at the library was all about clouds. They read some stories then a guy came in and showed the kids how to draw clouds. As well as making things out of clouds-it was pretty cool. They also got to do shaving cream, ewww I hate the smell of shaving cream and very messy. Nicole got in her wrists and she started itching like crazy so we washed it off and ended that activity. They read some more books. The guys there drew the kids some pics, a car for Justin and a princess/castle for Nikki. We got home and had lunch. I headed off to get my haircut. So nice having it straight. Dad and the kids played. They went outside and played soccer and tag. They had fun with their dad. This afternoon was kind of boring. I set up a huge Geo Trax set for Justin, using the steps in the house while dad set up the zebra tent. The kids were more into the zebra tent. They pretended to be camping, thus all their play food and toys are now in the tent. We had to clean up a little-this house is a mess. While dinner was cooking Justin and dad watched cars on the internet, cars crashing, etc. Nicole and I were in her room playing doll house. I try to treasure the alone time. I am so amazed sometimes at what my kids eat. They ate salmon, I don’t think Bret and I liked salmon until 10 yrs ago. I also made carrot pudding, a recipe from my mom-they loved it. But they didn’t understand why it was called pudding, it wasn’t the pudding they know, more like a corn bread thing. After dinner we headed upstairs. We played hide n seek. I found a great spot by the lion and beanbag. I finally just started laughing as they were in the room talking and couldn’t find me. Justin and I played cars for a bit while Nik and dad played more hide n seek. Justin and I lined up all the cars, then they went in these parking spots which was the mechanics. You see all the cars needed to be repaired. As one car went in we had to move the whole line up. I had to wait until all the cars were fixed before we even talked about getting in our jammies. We read some books and off to bed the kids went. Thankfully they fell asleep pretty quickly, Justin was out while I was still in his bed visiting him.
