We had a visitor last night, Justin. On the second or third time I gave in and let him sleep with us. But he was snoring so I left. But I couldn’t fall back to sleep so I came down to watch TV. I went jogging/walking with a friend this morning. We haven’t been in so long, but hopefully we will get back in the swing of running. We stayed in for a while this morning and read the paper. Dad built Justin’s new bridge. Geo trax stinks as this is one more part we have to buy to get the bridge lifted off the ground. But Justin likes it. Bret went for a walk this morning too. While Bret was out I showered then gave the kids a shower. Nice to have it over with already. Justin picked out his new outfit Grammy gave him for his birthday. He looks adorable:
Nicole chose her new Halloween outfit and she looks so cute too. The kids did some cutting with scissors, we even let them use real adult scissors. They likes cutting up the newspaper ads. We ran out to do a few things. First we listened to some music at Woodbury then went to Staples, Home Depot, Trader Joes, and Ralphs. Now we are tired. The kids watched some TV. They watched Blues Clues for the first time. Nicole really liked it and pretended she was Blue. We went outside and did a ton of gardening. We got a bunch of fall flowers at Home Depot and planted those. Then pulled weeds and trimmed bushes. Can’t believe how much we got done. Justin was driving his car while Nicole wanted to help me. So much faster with her helping. Justin used his maze book, he loves it. Nicole practiced cutting with scissors for the second time today. The kids ate a lot at dinner tonight. We had a late dinner and headed upstairs. The kids were nuts. Nicole was running away from us and playing while we were trying to get her jammies on. She was laughing so hard that we just went with it. It took two of us to get her jammies on then she took them off and ran again. Justin got into it too. It was fun and cute. We read some new books tonight that they really loved, Danny the Dinasour and Amelia Bedilia. Justin claimed daddy didn’t come visit him (which wasn’t true), but I decided to carry him down to get an extra hug anyway. I am tired! Time to relax.
Oh and we decorated the kids windows with Halloween. Here is a pic:
