Nicole woke up saying her belly hurt in the middle of the night, too much ice cream before bed. She woke up this morning and felt better. Justin visited us early this morning but went back to bed. The kids actually slept in a bit. The kids played Wii a bit while we read the paper. Dad went to run a Sunday morning errand. He has been liking going out by himself, but he wasn’t gone that long. Dad dealt with jacuzzi chemicals and I did some gardening. The kids got all into the digging part of the gardening. We decided to pack up and go to the beach. We had a great time at the beach. We made a ton of sand castles, buried children, and went in the ocean. Justin couldn’t wait to go to the ocean. Nicole and I stayed on the sand for a bit. Finally we got Nicole in the water. Of course when she finally got down there we knew she would love it and she did. The waves were big and strong today. So cute watching the kids in the water. They were running into the waves then running away from them, screaming and laughing. We were at the beach for a while. When we got home I gave Nicole a shower while dad and Justin played Wii, then Justin’s turn for a shower. The kids were pretty tired and so were dad and I from the sun and the beach. Dad and Nikki went to go get some dinner. I got some alone time with Justin. Him and I played race car and trains. Totally reminded me of when we first got the train table and how the kids would always take the track apart. After dinner we all went in the jacuzzi for a bit. It was pretty relaxing for a bit but then Nikki got wild. She was pretending to be Shamu and splashing. They had a great time in the warm jacuzzi. We went right upstairs and the kids drew pictures. They are starting to draw people, so cute. Justin added a beard to one of his guys and Nikki made a mask and a snorkel on one of her people. We pretended dentist. The kids lie down and I pretend I am the dentist while I brush and floss their teeth. Nikki loves it for some reason. I even pretend to be a bib on them and count their teeth. Then we read lots of books and off to bed. I was almost falling asleep in Justin’s bed and he just said it is ok mommy you can sleep here. What a sweet kid.
