I just wrote about most of our day and didn’t save it, ugh. So this will be a condensed version. It was all about daddy today. Dad and Nikki went to Starbucks this morning. Justin and I had fun playing Cootie Bugs and a new game Cariboo. The kids loved Cariboo. They played it for a really long time. I decided to start preparing the garden for planting the veggies. The kids helped me turn all the dirt and pull all the weeds. They also saw lots of worms. Dad mowed the lawn and Nikki followed with her lawn mower. We did back yard maintenance which included the jacuzzi. The kids took a bath-Justin went first. Justin and I had fun playing in the tub. Nikki took a bath next and took her Ariel and color changing water doll in the bath. She was having a great time. We stopped for lunch on the way to La Habra Children’s Museum. To our surprise Justin fell asleep on the way. We had a good time at the Museum but are starting to realize the kids might be getting too old for that museum. Their preference these days is Pretend City. They both did like the dress up area and the stage. They were on stage performing together but they didn’t have that many boy costumes. Nicole really liked digging for fossils while Justin of course loved the trains. The kiddos played in the play area for a while. They had some baby chicks there that were so cute; Nicole wanted the brown one. It was a sluggy day today, maybe due to the weather. When we got home the kids couldn’t seem to play without us. We did some cutting crafts, making brown bag monkey puppets. Of course the kids wanted to play the Wii again so after dinner they each got two races. Justin is so psycho about this game. We went upstairs. We played cars. We got out the carpet and we drove the cars on the streets. Justin loved it when I pushed the little cars over to him and he bonked them with the big cars. We read books and the kiddos are sleeping now. I have such a love/hate relationship with weekends. I love being together as a family but the kiddos get so needy and fighty.
