Our little munch kins are driving us a bit crazy. I can’t believe they can’t seem to play with each other at all on the weekends. This morning we took it easy, tried to read the paper, play Cariboo, and Memory. We played doggies in Nikki’s room. Finally dad and I needed too get out as being home was driving us crazy. We went to Whole Foods and had lunch. There was a really nice family who started to talk to the kiddos. When they asked Nicole her name she said Nikki but then she said she prefers Danielle. We walked over to Target as we need to find the kiddos cleats for soccer starting next weekend. No such luck though as they were out. We also stopped to get seeds for the garden. We got cucumbers, carrots, watermelon, and green beans. It was nice walking over as we took our time sat by the fountains at the District and took it easy. We braved the lines at Costco to get gas. While waiting we let the kiddos unbuckle out of their car seats. They thought it was the greatest thing ever. Funny how the little things make a difference. We came home and the kids were all over us again to play. Dad planted the seeds with the kiddos. I think daddy wanted to make sure they get into neat rows. The kids loved putting the seeds in. I hope things come up kind of quick for them as they were so excited. It stinks when it takes a while. We played the Wii with the kiddos for a bit. The kids did play doh for a short time, trying to get them to play on their own. Daddy set up the marble race thing for Justin and Nicole and I played on this magnet thing. Nicole also helped a lot in the kitchen today. I let her slice the bananas to put in the jello. She loved it! She also helped measure the rice for dinner and put the chicken on the pan. Also she loved cutting open the sauce and pouring it into a bowl. So great to have a little helper and giving her more confidence. During dinner Justin says “good dinner Nikki”. It was such a cute moment. Well things got crazy upstairs. At first we played limbo. My back will never be the same; the kids were laughing. Then we had this balloon toy and the kids would blow it up a little then run saying it was their baby chick. They were getting along so well and cracking us up. It reminded me of the time when they were little and would get naked at night. So I encouraged them to get naked which made them laugh even more. I can’t believe how big they are now! We played way too long then brushing teeth took a while. We let the kiddos brush and floss then we do it for them as well. But we have started teaching them to spit in the sick. So funny I started spitting in the sink when Nicole did-she was laughing like crazy. Of course we had to do it again. We read books and Justin was asleep when I left him. Nicole required a lot more time as usual before falling asleep.
