Happy birthday to me. Nothing too special about birthdays anymore. We had a regular fun family day. The kiddos had soccer this morning. Our neighbor Andree came to watch. We also discovered that a neighbor plays on Justin’s team. The kids both did great at soccer and seemed to have fun. Nikki loves when we all cheer for her. Justin and Nikki both got a few goals. It was so hot out there today and the kids were troopers running around. After we got some lunch then decided to head to the lagoon in RSM. Since we were so confused on the plans today we invited my parents to join us. The water was so cold. It didn’t stop the kiddos though. Justin was a little apprehensive, I had trouble getting in the water too. Nikki pretended to be Shamu and went under water. Once you got in the water it was probably warm but it took a while. The kids had a great time, playing in the sand too and making holes in the sand. They filled the holes with water. I can’t wait until the lagoon warms up, summer is right around the corner. We got home and realized we had no idea what was for dinner. We decided to go to the pizza place. Justin and Nikki were so excited. The pizza place=games. They could have stayed in the game room the whole time. Justin barely eats there since he would rather play games. Guess swimming makes Nikki hungry as she ate so much pizza. At the pizza place we let the kids get something out of the quarter machines. Nikki wanted a care bear. She got the yellow care bear and apparently Justin wanted one too. He got the pink one. Nikki cried and cried as she wanted the pink one. I was surprised Justin didn’t just give it to her. We tried to explain to Nikki that Justin will grow tired of it quickly and give it to her soon. Dad had to do a little work tonight. We came home and all had cupcakes together. Then it was upstairs time. I tried to distract Nikki by telling her the care bear needed to meet all her animals. She has so many animals that is took a while. She still had a hard time getting over the fact that Justin got the pink one. We did pretty good getting the kids to bed on time. I have a feeling Nikki will be up sometime to go potty. Dad is doing some more work. I am going to play on the computer and relax. Looking forward to another day being all about me (mother’s day) tomorrow.
