Justin came in our bed bright and early (6:15). I tried to get him back to sleep but I suddenly realized that was not going to happen. He sat in our bed and read books while dad and I tried to wake up. Nicole was the opposite and slept in, I almost had to wake her up. I worked at school this morning. I was an outside mom and boy was it cold out. We put together an obstacle course that the kids really liked. We tried doing 3 legged races. I put N&J’s legs together and they did pretty well. It was pretty funny. Nikki shared her baby alive doll whose name is now Butterfly. Justin shared his binoculars. The kids planted marigold flowers to bring home. It is all about earth week at school. The kids did pretty good at cutting things out. Nikki and Keyon were great buddies today, she sat in the trailer while he biked her around then they switched. He even laid in Nikki’s lap during a story, so sweet. It was a fun day at school. We headed to the library to return books and get new ones. The kids picked out books in record time. We had some lunch then I read the books to the kids. I read a ton of books and was falling asleep. Finally I needed a nap, so I turned on George for the kids and took a quick nap. There must have been a tree house on George and the kids decided to make a treehouse out of books on the fireplace. Then we headed to the library for story/craft time. It was all about caterpillars and the kids made cute ones. After we played outside with our friends. It was so cold and the kids were running around like crazy. They were playing hide n seek too, it was great. When we got home we all made a pizza for dinner. The kids also did some puzzles together. We went upstairs and Nikki and I had a tea party while dad and Justin played Crazy 8’s. We pretended dentist-this is the easiest way to brush/floss Nikki’s teeth. Then we read some library books. The kids are sitting through longer and longer books these days. Justin fell asleep while I was visiting him and I laid on Nikki’s floor for a bit hoping not to hear mommy when I came downstairs. Dad was teaching Nikki so many words in Spanish. She asked me how to say candy in Spanish, when I said I don’t know she said “I will ask daddy in the morning he knows a lot”.
