I think I may be coming down with another cold, crap crap crap! It was dreary and drizzly today. We stayed in most of the day. We worked on getting things done, getting rid of things, etc. The kids played. They pretended to trick or treat. We got the Lincoln Logs and handed them to the kids as candy. The kids loved it. We even took it one step further and pretended our dogs were barking. Then the kids played with the dog stuffed animals. They got Tracey’s old dog toys out, petted, brushed, and fed their dogs. We put stencils (kinda like a tattoo) on their pumpkins. Justin chose a Looney Tunes one and Nikki chose a funny face. The kids painted with water then we went out to the backyard. It was a little drizzly but we needed to get out. The kids played with the remote control jeep and car. That kept them amused for a while. After lunch we needed to run an errand. The kids finally got dressed (well kind of). Justin put on pants w/out underwear w/his jammie top and Nikki put on her Sleeping Beauty dress. It fits her so well now, so cute. We had to get Justin new training wheels so he is all set for the trike a thon at school. Of course the kids wanted to buy something. I am not sure why but we gave into them. Justin got a truck with a boat trailer attached. He wanted it because he loved the trucks getting the boats out of the water at Dana Point. Nikki picked a Barbie that is potty training her puppies. Apparently these puppies pee. Not sure what I was thinking. The kids played with their new toys for a bit and I cleaned up the house. I feel like I have been cleaning up the house all day. We decided it was time to get say goodbye to the train table. The kids haven’t really been using it lately. Instead they have been building on the floor, huge tracks. So we got rid of the table itself but kept everything else. We needed some resty time. The kids had a hard time agreeing on what to watch on TV but agreed on Care Bears. Justin says he likes the green guy. They of course played Care Bears after it was all over. They ran around the downstairs of the house. And for some reason Nikki had to get into regular clothes (out of her Sleeping Beauty outfit) and Justin had to get naked. After dinner the kids were playing with Nikki’s dogs and Barbie. Water everywhere. Upstairs they had tea/coffee parties in the bathroom-more water. We read some books. Nikki is wanting to read about doctors, dentists, etc. all the bad stuff. The Halloween lights in/out of the house are looking so nice. I can’t believe Halloween is almost here.
