This morning it was cloudy and cold and really hard to get out of bed. I dropped the kiddos off at pre school. At pre school I cut all the kid’s invitations so we are ready to send them out. Can’t believe my babies will be 4 soon. While the kiddos were at pre school I went for a quick walk then ran to Toys R Us. I wanted to start birthday and holiday shopping. I just want to be done. I think I got the kids done today just need to show Bret and make sure he agrees. Nicole showed her new Tinkerbell all around pre school today, so cute. After school we played at home for a bit. I had to make some calls for pre school then Carin, Sofi, and Mylee came over to play. The girls played really well together-I was very impressed. Nicole loves having her friends here. Poor Justin didn’t have anyone to play with but I tried to give him some extra special attention. The kids made cards for one of their friends that had cataract surgery. They drew pictures and put stickers all over it. They grabbed their doll strollers and we walked over to their house. Justin put his blue dolphin in his stroller and Nicole put her pink teddy bear in hers. Matthew and Ellie came out for a little bit. We head fun walking. The weather was nice and cool so the kids got all hyper. We basically jogged home then we were on the greenbelt for a while. We played duck duck goose then daddy came home. Daddy’s back hurts a bit so we came inside and the kiddos watched some TV. They watched Clifford and Thomas. They also played with daddy on his laptop, typed their names, etc. They even rubbed daddy’s back a little. After dinner the kids pretended to share. Nicole shared her boo boo bunny and pink teddy-Justin shared his cars. We went upstairs and dad went to drive Grammy to the airport. The kids read books by themselves for a bit and were pretending to be pre school teachers. I put laundry away and cleaned up a bit (cleaners come tomorrow). I finally convinced them to let me read books to them. They went to sleep pretty easily. It is a bit tougher to put them to bed in dif’t rooms, but they were very patient with me.
