This morning we stayed at home for a bit. The kids played their Leapsters for a bit. After breakfast we got ready to go. We headed to Chuck E Cheese. We met some friends there. It was so hard to chat with the moms. I had to do the pedals for Justin for the driving game and then help Nikki. Nikki liked the little rides, chair that goes around the clock, horse, and the bike thing. Justin would have been happy just driving the car games the entire time. We had a great time. Chuck E Cheese came out and did a dance/song with the kids. Nicole took her pic with him but Justin went running back to the games. By the time we left the rain had started. We ran over to In N Out Burger for lunch. I never gave the kids a snack so I thought they would be starving. We decided to come home and get in out of the rain. The kids started fighting over the harmonica and then finally went to play Memory together. So cute. It started pouring so we sat in the garage and watched the rain. The kids heard thunder and saw lightening for the first time. They thought all the rain was cool but was a little scared of the thunder. We came in and played for a bit more. The kids pretended the memory game cards were the newspapers. All over the house they went, ugh. But they were having so much fun. I read lots of books to the kids. We headed upstairs for bath. Nicole (AKA Biscuit the dog) wanted to take a bath. Simon Zoe the dog wanted to take a shower. The weather cleared so I rushed the out of the bath. I dried their hair and outside we went. It was cold out. The kids pretended they were dogs and I was walking them. We were also looking out for daddy. Unfortunately daddy had to work late so we came home. I made dinner while the kids watched Curious George. After dinner we cleaned up a bit. The kids thought it was the funniest thing ever to put Memory cards in their shirts and pee/poop them out into the box, lovely huh? It was actually pretty cute listening to them. We went upstairs a bit early tonight. Dad is on call and had to do some work. We played mechanic with all of Justin’s cars. Justin put them in and out of the shop while Nicole moved the line up and I brought the cars to their homes. It was nice all playing together nicely. I left lots of time to read lots of books which was nice. Usually the nights seem like we are running around crazy-it was nice that it was so relaxing.
