This morning was pretty uneventful. We got ready for the cleaners, taking sheets off beds, cleaning up toys, etc. It was so great to come home to a clean house. Then we were off. I am determined to finish up Nikki’s bed. So we stopped to get another curtain and I am still looking for thick purple ribbon with a wire. No luck yet. We headed to our friends for play group this morning. Nikki started the “I’m bored” thing. She did settle in and play. Justin was playing with all the toys, inside and out. I am now thinking maybe Nikki gets overwhelmed with too many people. It was a nice play group, chatting with the other moms. We stopped on the way home to get lots of necessities, toilet paper, etc. The kids did pretty good shopping. But they did say they rather shop with me than be in school, so that was nice. We came home and the kiddos played and played. They helped me wash the back windows. I think they got tired of it as before I knew it they were upstairs playing. It was so nice to get the house looking great inside and outside. Dad came home and we had dinner. Then dad and I finished out back while the kiddos played trains. Nikki came out to help hose off the garages. The kiddos did some gardening with me too. They also started to make a mess with the dirt and tried to get in the mud. Normally I don’t mind but since it wasn’t bath day and the house was just cleaned, I didn’t want them to get muddy. Well the watermelons are taking over our garden, we have one big one and three small ones starting. We got the best peach off our tree tonight before the rats. We went upstairs and read library books. Kiddos are fast asleep.
