Rainy cold day. I had to wake Nikki up for pre school, she was a sleepy girl. I dropped the kiddos off. They were so excited to go-I am so glad they like school. However, they were stuck inside most of the time so they were pretty hyper when I picked them up. While they were in school, Paula and I went for a walk then I relaxed and did a few errands. The kids played outside at pre school for a bit then a few of us headed to the library. The kids played on the computer and colored with a pencil. Nicole read a book to one of her friends so cute. We didn’t get home until 2:00ish and thats when the kids ate lunch. We played at home for a bit, read a few of our library books, played with Zoe. Then we got out the gingerbread house and decorated. The kids loved it and we all had a great time. Dad came home from work a bit early. He had to take the Solaris 10 certification and passed-yeah! We took Zoe outside to play ball with her but then the rain started coming down. The kids read their library books then we went out to play in the rain. The rain didn’t last too long, so we threw the ball for Zoe again. Dad put away the fryer and Nicole came outside in the cold in her underwear. She wants to wear her favorite shorts all the time. We came in and the kids took a shower. They watched some Curious George while we made dinner. They were really hungry and really liked dinner. We decided to go look at some Christmas lights, so we went to the houses off of Red Hill. They are so ghetto with a bunch of crap on their property but there were a ton of decorations and the kids loved it. Nicole loved the motion activated little Santa’s and Justin loved all the trains. We came home and had hot chocolate. The kids were wanting to write a lot tonight in what they call their journals. They didn’t want us to read them any books. They seem a bit hyper so who knows when they will go to sleep. Nikki is singing Jingle Bells right now. She says she is too excited to sleep because it is Hanukkah. Time to go walk the dog; hope it is not raining.
