More sleep needed. Well Bret and I went to bed late last night but then the dog kepts us up. She was really whiney, she stayed downstairs mostly-I think she was hoping her parents would come. My stomach hurt so I was up for that too. Oh well I can sleep when I am dead. So this morning on top of not sleeping too well, I planned to run with a friends. I didn’t want to disappoint her so out I went. I took Zoe with me too; everyone loved her and wanted to pet her. Luckily the run woke me up and I was good to go. I can home and got ready to go to Zoomars with Christy and kids. We all piled in my van. Justin moved to his car seat vs the booster so Lexi and Nikki could sit together. Justin always amazes me with how easy going and thoughtful he is. I am so proud of him. We had a great time at Zoomars but the kids wanted to pick up the guinea pigs and bunnies but they were too wiggly. They really enjoyed petting them and feeding them carrots. Justin was quickly done feeding the animals so he wanted to ride the train. He waited until he could get in the back of the train, the caboose. He loved it, Nicole and Lexie rode in the front. The kids played at the playground for a little bit but it was getting close to lunch. We walked up to where the big trains were and ate lunch. Justin was so excited to see the train and all of a sudden it sounded like one was coming but it was just a truck on the tracks. The kids thought it was hilarous that the train tricked them. When we got home we let the kiddos play with water, Justin wanted the water table and Nicole wanted the pool-why can’t they ever agree? They were so cold from the water that they wanted to take a bath to warm up. So up to bath we went, Justin stayed in a really long time. Dad and I worked cleaning out some of our crap. I am determined to get rid of so much stuff. The kids rested and watched TV. While the kids watched TV I talked to my friend Kristi. It was nice to catch up but unfortunately her mother in law just passed away suddenly. Just a reminder that life is short and to try and live it to the fullest. We played with Zoe the dog on the greenbelt and threw balls. The kids were running after the balls too trying to beat Zoe. I wanted to run to the mall for a few things, so we just ate dinner there and did a little shopping. Justin was starting to melt down so off to bed. It took them a while to settle down. Now to walk the dog and decorate the kids bikes for the 4th of July parade in Woodbridge.
