Bret had to work most of the day, ugh. I took the kiddos to Mission Viejo to get their second swine flu vaccine and I was able to get one too. Then we headed over to the Mission Viejo Mall and played. We had fun together. We walked around and looked at the puppies, went to the toy store, went to the play area, played in stores, etc. On the way home we stopped at Lakeshore. I wanted to get the kiddos better scissors then what we had. There was a craft thing going on so the kiddos made candles, they loved making it and were so proud of it. We put it on our fire place. We met dad for lunch and came home for a bit. The kids opened the shutters and had the windows open, dad even took the screen off for them. Apparently that is so exciting. We made an appetizer to bring to the pre school’s Christmas party. It was really cute. The 3 day class sang this little light of mine and this land is your land. It was SO cute, Justin was bopping to the music. The kids loved being on the stage. We had lots of food and deserts and did a snowman craft. The kiddos didn’t want to sit on Santa’s lap but they talked to him. Santa gave them a book. When we got home the kiddos were so hyper. They were dancing/running around singing. They have turned off most of the lights while dancing probably so they could see the carousal. It is so loud in this house right now but at least it is happiness or delirium. I finally got them upstairs to take a shower but then they had to run around upstairs. I put away laundry and finally got them in the shower. I got them out just before the fighting began. We had dinner then we played for a bit downstairs. Justin was the dog and Nikki was teasing him with a toy. We went upstairs a little earlier tonight as the kids seemed tired. We read lots of books in Justin’s bed. I was actually down stairs at 8:00-this is the first time that has happened in a long time. Nikki wanted daddy to wake her up when he got home. He got home at 8:00 so he was able to run upstairs to say goodnight.
