Today I was yellow mom at preschool. The kids were so happy I was working and I had a great time. The kids were happy they could share. Nicole brought Biscuit the dog and Justin brought a car. Nicole hung out with me and did object painting at my table. The kids took a potato masher thing and put it in paint and stamped the paper. I love watching the kids at school. They love participating at group time. The kids all helped make english muffin pizzas for snack. Nicole got so much paint all over her. When we got home I put the kiddos in the shower. They were overdue for a bath plus full of paint. Grandma came over. She wanted to take the kiddos shopping to see what they wanted for their birthdays and Chanukkah. I got some ideas too. Shopping got boring but the kids were really good. Grandma stayed and played for a bit. While saying goodbye to Grandma we ran into a new neighbor who has an almost 5 year old girl. Nicole hit it off with her and brought her to her room to play. So cute how easily kids can make friends. Nicole pretended to go camping, she grabbed her backpack, etc. Justin and dad went to go get some dinner and Nicole and I pretended we were in a hotel in Vegas. After dinner I needed to go outside, so I grabbed some glow sticks and we went into the backyard. The kids had so much fun. Apparently a little too much fun as Nicole had trouble going to sleep. We went upstairs and the kids were pretending to be their pre school teacher. They were reading books to us, kids. Nicole has so many books memorized that it feels like she is reading to us. I pretended to be a naughty kid in school and the “teachers” kept on telling me what to do. It was a fun night.
