Well I didn’t blog yesterday as I wasn’t feeling well yesterday. Just an annoying cold and pms. Anyway yesterday I took the 3 day classes preschool pictures. That class is very difficult and frustrating. Grandpa came to pick up Justin. They went to the auto show in Anaheim together. Very cute. I wanted to have some special Nikki time but I had to work at pre school. So we went to school together. So strange to be at school without Justin. Nicole seemed pretty good without Justin. She played. I was really happy to see after school outside she played with some friends. We came home and I wasn’t feeling great. But we had girly time. We played doll house, dogs, and polly pockets. Luckily for some of it I was able to lie on the floor with my head on the pillow. Grandpa took Justin to visit Grandma so they didn’t come home until later. I got to talk to Justin on the phone which was kind of fun since I never get to. Dad got burritos for him and Nikki. So glad he has a burrito buddy. Justin had a great time. He liked the corvettes, porsches, and green cars. I am glad he had that special time but I sure missed him.
Which brings us to today, Saturday. Dad took my car to get an oil change. He likes to do that and goes to some organic coffee shop. I read the kids books and played a bit. Nicole put on her Violet The Incredibles costume. Justin played upstairs for a bit. I tried to clean up around here a bit. When dad got home, we ran some errands. We went to Lowes so the kiddos could build some magic mirror thing. It wasn’t that cool but that wasn’t really the point, building it was the fun part. We ran to Home Depot to. We got the kiddos pumpkins. We got big ones and baby ones. We grabbed some lunch then ran over to the fire dep’t. The fire authority was having an open house. It was great. They set a car on fire and another fire we watched them put out. They showed us how they work the ladder to save kids on the 4th story of a building. Plus did a safety evacuation program for the kids. We got to ride on an old fire engine. It was a really cool event. I am really glad we went. When we came home. I napped and the kiddos watched TV. Dad also napped a bit. We played in the backyard for a while. So nice to be out there; it feels like we hadn’t been out there in a while. We picked the last of the watermelons. Dad and Justin managed to use a hax saw to open them up. Justin just smiled. I did some gardening while the kids painted the play house with water. Nicole pretended she was Curious George and picked bananas (which were actually kitchen towels) out of the peach tree. After dinner the kids played basketball with daddy. Nikki was getting a bit cranky. So I grabbed Justin and we put up the light up spider web in the living room window. I was glad when Nikki joined in. Justin just smiled when we lit it up, it was so cute. Dad had to do some work this evening. I gave the kiddos a bath. Justin stayed in the bath for the longest time. He was just having a great time. We only had time to read a few books then it was off to bed. Just as we were saying good night we heard fire works. Justin was a little scared so I shut his window.
