This morning I got up and took my new tennis shoes for a walk/run. The shoes are awesome. My Ipod though didn’t hold a charge but my feet were so happy I didn’t mind not listening to music. Nikki was really cuddly this morning. Justin was playing the Wii fit, some of those things are so funny. I laughed so hard when he was flapping his arms like a bird. We went to the library to return books and see some rail safety thing. The safety thing was terrible, the kids liked it but not worth going to. Picking out new books was so much fun. The kids can’t wait to read them. After lunch dad and Justin mowed the lawn. Nikki and I ran out to get a storage bin and get some fruit/milk at the grocery store. Dad and I have been trying to clean out things again and he listed some things on Craigslist. We decided to go to Lake Forest and take a walk through the woods. We did this once before and it was so much fun. The kids couldn’t wait to collect rocks and toss them into the stream. They loved making huge splashes but they would also cover their ears, funny. It was so nice and relaxing, the weather was perfect too. Of course dad and I loved the area so much with the woods we talked about moving there. It won’t happen but fun to think about. When we got home we made dinner. After dinner we made a banana desert. Add chocolate chips, graham crackers, and marshmallows and grill. YUM! We went to our neighbors to meet their new baby, oh so cute. I loved holding her. It was nice to catch up with our neighbors. Nikki loved helping with the baby, feeding, getting her pacifier. Justin was happy watching TV. When we got home Nikki pretended to be baby Sophia. We read lots of books and off to bed the kids went. Justin has this new thing when he kisses our noses, he gets them all wet, yuck.
