Well I learned to actually listen to our answering machine. This morning the cleaners changed the time on us and came early. It worked out but I got a little stressed. The kids watched TV while I got things cleaned up. I wanted to get out of the house so the kids don’t bother the cleaners. I took the kids out for bagels-they were so excited. We had a nice little breakfast. Then we headed to the party store. We just looked around at the Halloween decorations. Nicole sounds a little stuffy so we just took it easy. I read the kiddos lots of books. We played blocks, lego’s, etc. Nikki was in the play room making up stories with her toys and the big lion-it was really cute. The kids got along pretty well today. We headed out to go to soccer for Justin. Thank goodness the sun went behind the clouds so it cooled off a little bit. It was still hot but Justin was a trooper and had fun. They played a cool game in the beginning. There were two teams, one had to turn the cones over then the other one turned it back over. I will look at this later and I will not understand how explained the game went. The kids played at the park for a bit after soccer and we headed home. The kids played outside in the backyard while I made dinner. I kept on checking on them. They were pushing the little wheel barrel and truck around. Later these things became “useful engines”. They were moving all the stuff in the backyard to the corner gate. We have a mess to clean up. But the mess was worth it since they were having so much fun. The nice part was Bret and I were signing re-finance papers and the kids played nicely. They ended up coming in the dining room to color, just to be with us. The kids were wanting a pretend pizza thing like at the museum in Palm Springs. We had a couple things and a cupcake thing that the kids enjoyed playing with. I went for a little walk while the kids played with dad. So fun to come home as the kids are so excited to see me. Both had a hard time going to sleep. Nikki and I cuddled with Justin until he fell asleep then we went into Nikki’s room for a bit. She sang a song she made up about birthdays and X-mas. It was really cute but it would have been better earlier in the day.
