Home sweet home. Nice to sleep in our own bed last night. Nikki woke up twice though to go potty. I was in such a deep sleep…..Bret’s back is still not great. We just stayed home this morning. The kids played. We opened the doodle track car. The kids had fun with that for a while. It was hard for them to make tracks for the car to follow so dad printed some up from the computer. Nikki is wanting to play dolls and more dolls. I get to be Sleeping Beauty while she is big and little Belle’s. I played a bit but I wanted to get some stuff done around here. I had to do laundry, put things away, etc. I finally picked our big watermelon that has been growing and growing. I put it on the scale and it weighed 21 pounds and it was just perfect. Since dad’s back is out we ended up sending the kiddos to pre-k. They had a great time. Both kids made bracelets for dad and I plus little books. It was really cute. I promised the kids they could watch the Incredibles when they got home. Of course after it was over Nikki wanted to put on her costume and pretend to be Violet. We flipped over Justin’s train table and he was able to use the other side as a track for the new car. The dry erase marker worked and it allowed him to make a new track for the car to follow. After dinner I wanted to be outside for a bit. Nikki came out right away with me but Justin was finishing playing with his car. They both helped me sweep up the leaves. And they both wanted to be in the swing which they pretended was a roller coaster. They are really too big for that swing but it is still up for T. Justin decided to go into the jacuzzi. We had to find his two little boats for him. It wasn’t that warm but he had fun. Nikki was busy cleaning the top of the deck box and the picnic table. Dad is doing a bit better with his back-it sucks but know he will be better really soon. The kids took apart the Toys R Us ad I had. They circled what they wanted for presents, then cut them out to tape them on paper. We went upstairs and played cars for a bit. I pretended to be the bad cars while Justin and Nikki pulled me over. We read books and were almost ready for bed. But then the kids said they were hungry, ugh. After snack and re-brushing teeth they went to sleep. Justin has been calling me baby lately. He says I love you more baby, such a cutie pie.
