Get Ready for Kindergarten
I was sad Bret had to go back to work this morning, it was nice having him home yesterday. This morning the kids played Wii a little bit and we also got ready for the cleaners. Luckily it wasn’t too stressful getting all cleaned up. We walked over to Blue Gum park and met some friends. The kids played so well together. Although Justin did drop a bucket full of water and sand on his big toe. Ouch, he is ok but I know it really hurt. Nicole was busy making cakes with blueberries with one of her friends. Justin dug holes, the kids really played in the sand most of the time. We got home and the cleaners were still cleaning so we decided to go out and get some lunch. The sandwich place I was going to closed, so we just ran into the grocery store. The kids were not too happy at first about the grocery store but then they picked out a lunchable and loved it. It even came with a butterfinger-I only mention this as this is the first time the kids had one. Needless to say they loved it. We ate in the car on our way for get ready for kindergarten class. The kids loved eating in the car-I don’t want to see how many crumbs are in there now, but oh well. It was so sad separating the kids. This is the first time the kids have been separated without each other and without mom or dad. Both kids did great though. The classrooms are right next to one another. Nicole walked Justin to his class-silly. I was able to only talk to Nicole’s teacher-she said Nicole wanted to visit her brother so the assistant took her over. It was sweet! Justin said he loved being in his own class. Sometimes I worry about him and he is the one that is always fine. I am so proud of my kiddos. It really amazes me how fast they are growing up. I am still remaining impartial and will let the teachers decide if they are ready for Kindergarten or not. We came home and the kids got a project from the readiness class. In celebration of Earth Day they are to collect recyclable things. My kids take this very seriously and they couldn’t wait to get started. We started with the junk mail, etc. Then I gave the kiddos a shower. They were asking about taking a shower in the downstairs bathroom so I let them. Wow I can’t remember last time that shower was used. Of course it was exciting for them. Justin just wanted to cuddle a bit after shower while Nicole went in the play room and got all her little pony stuff out. Then Justin wanted to drive his car, so we went outside and Nikki too. The kids had fun driving together. We came in and played a little Wii and made dinner. The kids were in such good moods tonight. They were running around the little table in the kitchen and on the stools, sliding the stools-just having so much fun together. Upstairs continued with good craziness. The kids were pretending to cry then I would chase them, they would run to daddy, we hid and popped out on them, etc. I would chase them and they would shut the door in my bathroom and I would quietly wait, they would come out and just be laughing. Dad and Nikki played some doll house while I hung out with Justin. I also worked on Nikki’s top of her bed, we are getting closer to making it work. Surprisingly the kids went right to bed tonight. Although, I had to act out things with Nikki’s animals, she wanted Thumper to give Fluffy a ride, etc.
