Justin got up at his normal time but Nikki slept in a little bit. Since we had to get to pre school I went up and opened her shutters. We brought Ms. Donna an orchid and candy for teacher appreciation week. The kids were so excited to give her the stuff. I love that they are as excited about giving people things as getting things. I stayed at school for a bit and read some books with Nikki. Justin preferred to go outside and play. When I left he was busy riding bikes. I decided to go shopping for myself. I am so sick of all my clothes and wanted to treat myself since I have lost some weight. I haven’t gotten on the scale though to see how much. I missed the kids while I was out. It is definitely strange being by myself. I went by the Disney store and went in. Going in made me think of the kids more…so I bought them a Lady and a Tramp stuffed animal. After picking up the kids we played outside for a bit. Then I told them the story of me going to the mall and two animals wanted to come home with me and gave them their animals. They were so excited. It has been a few hours now and they haven’t stopped playing with them. They fed them, bathed them, made a bed for them, brushed their fur, etc. I wish we could get them a real dog but someday. Luckily we get to borrow Zoe. The kids dresses up and did a show for me. Justin had sun glasses on and a scarf and dress up shoes. Nicole had her cheerleading outfit on. Then I made the kiddos take a bath. Love clean kiddos! We headed to the library for story/craft time. The kids made kind of like stained glass butterflies. Whoever is sitting in the seat near the window sticks Lady or Tramp out of the window and barks. The kids played Wii while we made dinner. After dinner we headed out to Baskin Robbins for $.31 cones. We waited in line for about 20 minutes or so. The kids just went with the flow and played while in line. They were very happy with their chocolate chip cones. All 4 of ours for $1.25. When we got home the kids found some rope. They decided to walk each other like dogs. Then dad tied the rope around their waists and they were playing tug of war-pulling each other, making the other one go. Nikki was laughing so hard. Everyone is in bed and it is quiet.
