We played at home for a bit this morning. I tried to get a few things done but Justin kept asking me to play Memory. We played a few games while Nikki watched and did puzzles next to us. Today Paula and I split up the kids for a boy and girl only play date. I got the girls today and Paula took the boys. Justin kept asking when they were going to come pick him up-he was so excited. Nicole at first had a hard time playing with two girls at once. Katie and her played doll house while Sarah and I did some crafts. Sarah was so fun to talk to and she just hung out with me. Nicole and Katie had a good time upstairs and came down with the doll strollers full of babies and stuffed animals. Lunch was so cute as we were making the dino chickens talk. After lunch the girls did dress up, so cute. Nicole was Tinkerbell, Katie Sleeping Beauty, and Sarah a cheerleader. They grabbed the music player and kept on doing shows for me. They also swung in the swings. Justin had so much fun. So great to have him back, I missed him. When the boys got here Justin and Mikey did remote control cars for a long time. I think Nikki missed her brother too! After everyone left Justin and Nicole played so well together. They played but what a huge mess they made. Luckily I used TV as a dangling carrot-if you say no TV until you clean up, clean up happens quickly. I started to make dinner, banana bread (Whole Foods recipe) and brownies for tonights board meeting. I hope the banana bread comes out well. The kids watched George. I made dinner, someday I will make a meal that everyone eats. Justin didn’t like chicken and dumplings. The banana bread turned out pretty well. We played Memory then the board meeting for pre school started. The kids were so cute and came down and gave me huge hugs. I miss my little buggers-they can be so sweet. I am in the meeting right now. Bret put the kids to bed. So much starting to go on for my board position for pre school.
