Well Justin did pretty well with no diaper last night. I woke him up before I went to bed, he was so tired but still went potty. I thought he was dry all night until I went to fix his bed tonight. The sheet thing I put down was a little wet which is weird as his jammies were dry. Anyway I thought he was dry all night so we gave him a new car this morning. Oh well he still was brave as he made the first step to get rid of diapers. I will be doing lots of laundry but he will get it soon. Seemed like a crazy busy day. We invited our neighbors over for lunch but didn’t hear from them until this morning as to whether they could come over or not. They said yes and we went running around. Dad worked on getting Nikki’s new ceiling fan installed while the kids and I ran to the grocery store. Then I got home and cleaned as fast as I could with Michael Buble playing. Michael Blueberry as the kids call him. Justin entertained himself while I cleaned and Nikki was busy helping daddy with the fan. I brought Cindy the dog back to her house for a bit. She went potty in the her house so I had to clean that up, ewww. We had a really nice time with the neighbors. Their little baby fell asleep on me. Nikki was so into the baby. She didn’t even want to eat lunch as she wanted to watch the baby. Nikki ran next door with Bernice to change the baby’s diaper and get a bottle. It is so cute to watch Nikki be so helpful. She even rocked the baby in her car seat a bit. After the neighbor’s left I went back and got Cindy. Then I played with the kiddos while dad worked on the fan some more. The kids and I played games, Cariboo, Don’t Break the Ice, and bowling. They had a blast with bowling. Justin used his cars instead of the ball. It was a fun afternoon with the kiddos. We went out and played too. The kids painted with water their playhouse and anywhere they could in the backyard. They helped me cut the hedge by the front door. The kids got their scissors and helped cut. It was cute. They also helped sweep and pick up all the garden waste. It was fun hanging out with them. They are such good kids but I am bias. We decided to go to the Spectrum tonight. Since it was getting late we just ate in the food court then walked around a bit. The kids went on the carousal. Still the usual animal, Nikki wanted the bunny and Justin wanted the ostrich. Dad was a little sad thinking about that someday the kids won’t want to ride the carousal as they get bigger. They didn’t even care if we rode with them or not. We sat on the bench. Nikki and I went in the pet store while dad and J headed to Dave and Busters to play game. Justin found two car games he loved. He is so funny screaming and getting so excited while he plays. We were all just laughing. Nikki loved the game where the horse moves with the ball. She took it pretty well when she didn’t win. She beat me though when I played with her. It was a fun night. We didn’t get them to bed until late. We were out having too much fun.
