Last night we heard a bonk, it ended up being Nicole falling out of bed. Poor little girl. What a horrible way to wake up. Bret is in training for the rest of the week but luckily it is just at his company. This morning the kids and I got ready for the cleaners. I let the kiddos watch some TV so nothing else got messed up. I also did some cleaning out of cabinets, etc. Then we met some people from my photography group at the library in Orange. There was an animal show. It would have been great but the room was extremely crowded. I couldn’t believe all the moms who didn’t care if their kids stood up and were loud. Nikki and Justin sat there so well and listened. I was a proud mom. After Nikki and Justin went up to thank the lady and said they really liked the show. She let them pet the lion bunny:

We read a few books then headed home. After lunch the kids asked me to set up the zebra tent. After bringing down blankets and pillows they cuddled in there then added toys. Now we just have a huge zebra tent in our family room. We ran out to the library for a singing show. It was awesome-I am so glad we went. I almost didn’t as I was organizing the play room and we had so many toys out but we decided to go. The kids participated and sang, so cute. When we got home I finally put together a hot wheels track for Justin, it took me a long time.  We just played with toys we hadn’t gotten out in a while, it was fun. Dad came home and the kids played in the backyard. Nikki swung for a while and Justin shot some baskets. Then the basketball went on Nikki’s tray in the swing and apparently was hilarious. We took the kids to Chick-Fil-A for their Tuesday family night. The kids made guitars and wanted to do shows for us in the restaurant. They were way too loud. They played in the play area as well. It was lots of fun for them, but Nikki was sad she didn’t get to see the cow. On the way out the kiddos got balloons. Nicole’s balloon wasn’t tied on tight so it went up in the air. She was so upset. We went upstairs and played a little. Justin wanted to try out all Nikki’s hair things. So yes I put hairbows, etc in hs hair. It was so funny. I didn’t document it with the camera, but maybe I should have. It took Nikki a while to settle down tonight. Apparently she was hot!
