Nikki was still under the weather a little bit, poor little girl. She was kind of sleepy this morning. She didn’t want to come with Justin and I to the Easter thing. I was so sad as she always wants to go everywhere with me. I did think about it a little more and realized I will have her here the entire week so I will get lots of Nicole time. Justin and I had a great time. He wanted to take daddy car and was so happy when I said yes. We went to Laguna  Hills for an Easter event. It is sponsored by a church which isn’t that appealing but it is a pretty incredible event. We met some friends there too, so strange for me with one kid. It was really special to be with Justin alone but I can’t imagine ever having one kid now that I have always had two. Justin went into a few bounce houses, we had a snack, he got a dog painted on his face, got a sword made out of a balloon and he even asked for one for Nicole. The lady made Nicole a flower. We did the Easter egg hunt too and crafts. There was so much going on and we got whatever we could for Nicole. It was so nice to see her smile when Justin gave her all the stuff. We had lunch then Nicole was feeling a bit better. Her and I made some cupcakes, one of her favorite things to do with me. Dad was outside with Justin working on the balancing on a two wheeler. Justin will get it soon. Since Nicole was doing well we decided to go to Castle Park. We hadn’t been to that park in so long. The kids were happy to be there but were really into swinging. Justin rode his bike there with us holding on for him. Every once in a while we could just lightly hold the bar and he did pretty good. When we got home from the park, Nikki and I frosted and decorated cupcakes. Dad and Justin played Wii. Nicole was so happy to surprise dad and Justin with the cupcakes. Someday she will read this and know they smelled the cupcakes and guessed what the surprise was. I ate too many cupcakes. Nicole started not feeling that great again so we read lots of books and let her watch some TV while we ate dinner. Justin liked the TV on at dinner time. He was a hungry little piggy tonight. We had lasagna and I can’t believe how much he ate. After TV we went upstairs. Nicole was feeling yucky so I just read her books in her bed. Justin joined us while dad put up Nikki’s canopy. I just need to get some fabric or something next. Nikki was ready to go to sleep pretty fast. Dad read to Justin in bed with a flashlight then it was my turn. He is so loving-I hope he is always like this. I love his hugs!
