Sometime during the night Justin came into our bed. I finally left and slept in his bed. Justin got up and we got him ready for school. Meanwhile Nikki was still sleeping. Since Bret is able to work from home on Mondays we let her sleep. So strange to only take one to school but kind of nice as well. Nicole got there about a half hour late. I was working and of course Justin wanted me to be blue mom. I got the sand. It was such a beautiful day out that we got the water out and the kids had a blast. The theme of the week at school is bicycling. Ms. Donna read the Duck on a Bike book. Nicole was so excited it was a book she knew and she helped tell the story a little bit. Justin shared his seashell he painted and Nicole shared Huey, Louie, and Dewey. It was a nice day at school. We came home and the kiddos had lunch. They also decided to get all their stuffed animals out and made a huge mess. Finally I got them in the shower. They could have stayed in the shower forever. I read some books. The kids pretended to share things at home. They got their dog houses with their dogs Champ and Lollipop. I needed a break so I let them watch TV for a bit. Then it was so nice outside so we headed out. I was about to finish the hedging when Zoe came over. The kids grabbed an empty tennis ball container and put leaves in it. Then they were busy looking for bugs to put in it. They ran in and got their magnifying glass too. It was cute. Justin threw the ball a bit with Zoe. I got them to water the veggies then they just went crazy with water. They were putting buckets of water over certain plants pretending it was a campfire (from Curious George) and they were putting it out. It all ended when Justin accidentally got Nikki wet. I think Nikki changed about 10 times today.Dad came home and we finished outside then the kids played Wii while we made dinner. We had a quick dinner then I was off to my photography class. It is definitely hard to sit still in a class these days, especially with everything I need to do going through my mind. The class is mildly interesting. I just want to get out and practice. I need to take my camera everywhere. I can’t wait to go home and relax. I do need to get the house ready for the cleaners.
