I hate Mondays as it means Bret had to go to work, we love weekends and they go by so fast. This morning we just stayed home and played. The kids didn’t eat breakfast until after 9:00. The kids are pretending they are Chip (Justin) and Dale (Nicole). We all colored with markers for a bit. I got to babysit Nicole’s baby. We played store for a while, just a quiet morning at home. Nicole woke up and was a little cranky this morning but she got over it, thank goodness. She said she was tired since she woke up in the middle of the night. Justin ended up in our bed at 5 this morning. The kids played outside and pretended to clean my windows and use their squirt bottles. We spent a lot of time playing with trains and building tracks. After lunch the kids decided to play pile up on mommy. It was cute. We went to the toy store to get a couple gifts for friends. The kids had a great time playing with the train table and the Little Einsteins stuff. They are really into Little Einsteins these days. We also went to the grocery store. The kids went in the car carts but were still up and down. It made shopping go slow but the kids did pretty well. They wanted to watch TV so I let them watch one Curious George. Then we went out and did the water table. I am not sure if they love playing with water or just love wearing their bathing suits. Justin was so proud of himself for showing me he can put on his own bathing suit. They played with balls, Dan the diver, little pony in the water table. They also squirted with their squirty toys, squirt bottles, and washed my windows. The kids wanted to stay naked after. They played with these foam letter, foam letters everywhere. They threw them up like it was a party. What a mess! We cleaned up-dad came home a little early as he had a dentist app’t. Dad played Memory with the kiddos while I cleaned up the house a bit getting ready for the cleaners. We went outside and the kids drove their cars for a while. Dinner wasn’t much as it didn’t seem like any of us were too hungry. After dinner the kiddos were wild. We played duck duck goose in the house and ran around the downstairs. The kids wanted us to catch them, they were laughing and giggling, it was cute but tiring. Then we played hide n seek. Another fun game. I enjoyed finding great hiding places and getting a few minutes of peace before any one found me. We went upstairs a little early as we were out of hiding places downstairs. We read a ton of books tonight and the kids are sleeping.
