Bret and I were so tired last night we ended up in bed early. This morning I was working at pre school. We didn’t have much time this morning except to get dressed and eat breakfast. The kids wanted me to be blue mom, so in the sand I went. We made a ton of sand castles and all the kids mashed them at the same time, so cute. I love watching N&J paying attention and listening so well in school. Today Justin shared Dinoco AKA the King (car from the Cars movie) and Nikki took a teddy bear named gum drop. After pre school we ran to the library to return a book the kids borrowed from a friend. They lent us a library book. The book was called Sweet Tooth and the kids just loved this book, we read it a lot. We came home and the kids helped me make lunch. We were pretty lazy today and just hung around. We read a ton of books which made me sleepy. While Nikki was in the bath, Justin and I played crazy eights. He is so determined to win and block me which he did. The kids got in the tub together for a bit but fighting started. So Nikki got out and Nikki and I played crazy eights. She has the same determination to win like Justin. We packed up a picnic dinner and headed to train path. Dad met us there after work on his bike. We just had a nice picnic. We brought a ball so we played catch for a while, kicking, and we made a basket for the ball to go in. We saw lots of trains! We didn’t stay too long as it started to get cold. I thought we wold have a Wii free day but dad caved when we got home. The kids love it and I did enjoy the break a bit. We went upstairs and got ready for bed. Nikki wanted to pretend she was at the dentist. So she laid down while I brushed and flossed her teeth. Justin was asking to read Three Blind Mice, so dad read that book to him. We read Llama Llama Red Pajama and Nicole wanted to hear it over and over again. I tried to visit her for a long time so she didn’t call me up over and over. I think it worked.
