This week for some reason seems to be going by very slowly. This morning we hung out at home for a bit. Justin and I played Memory and raced cars while Nicole watched. I was worried I wouldn’t have time to give the kiddos a bath so we decided to get it out of the way first thing. Nicole went first. Justin and I played, when he started playing trick or treat Nikki wanted to get out to play too. Justin didn’t stay in the bath for too long, so we had time to go to Blue Gum park and meet some friends. It was a beautiful day out and so nice to be out and about. The kids had a lot of fun too. I am trying to work with Nikki to be a little nicer to some of her friends. She likes who she wants to like and thats it. Very strong willed little girl but no this will serve her benefits throughout her life. Justin just goes with the flow, so easy going just like his daddy. I realized at the park Nikki didn’t eat breakfast, so we didn’t stay too long. We had lunch when we got home. The kids played. The kids got the picnic blanket and pretend food. They had a picnic in the garage. Justin rode his scooter in the house all smiles, so silly. We played in the backyard. Justin was busy digging for treasure. The kids went in their swings for a bit. Dad came home early to go with us to the ENT doctor for Nicole. We had to wait a long time, so annoying. The kids were troopers though. The doctor basically said she still has fluid in her ears and will probably be like that for another 6 weeks. Nicole was so brave. She weighs 38.8lbs and is 42.5in. We are just going to watch her for a while, hopefully with cold season ending soon she will be ear infection free. Nicole and I went to the organic farm to get some fruit. So cute she wanted to get me a surprise. She told me she wanted to get me flowers, so sweet. She remembered at the farmers market we got flowers. The thought was amazing and I just smile every time I think about it. Since the kids were so good we let them play the Wii for a bit. Nicole was so happy when she beat me. Justin is still crazy about the game. So funny to watch him play. After dinner we just headed upstairs. The kids played tag, ran around, and had lots of fun together. I started organizing things a bit-the linen closet and Justin’s closet. Dad and Justin played Memory while Nicole and I cuddled in her bed and read books. Justin is sleeping with Pumpkin the stuffed dog and he was so cute with him. Nicole was all talky tonight as normal. She tells me “here’s the deal… you scratch this leg and rub the other one”. She cracks me up when she says here’s the deal. So cute in the middle of the night Nicole cried out for me. I went in there and snuggled in her bed and she just had a great big smile on her face, makes it all worthwhile.
