Today was bring your kids to work day at Bret’s company. Nikki didn’t want to miss school as she is hoping for perfect attendance but she knows she won’t get it due to us going to Hawaii next month. The kids had a great day. It was very strange for me as they did something fun without me. I was a little sad but so happy to hear about their fun day. It was a little nice for me to as I didn’t need to go pick them up at a certain time, make lunch, etc..so less stress. This is what the day’s agenda looked like:

I picked up the kiddos and they didn’t want to leave. They were headed to play fooseball and ping pong. It was great hearing about their adventures. They come home with a bag of goodies or junk. They loved telling me they had pizza and ice cream. Justin was so proud he put strawberry sauce on it and did the whip cream himself. Nikki did some of her homework at dad’s desk while Justin was busy playing. It was an awesome day for them that I hope they will always remember. Oh and they made money too. Here is a pic of their money:
Justin put Iceland as he just did a report on Iceland for school.
I took it easy and went shopping to buy some clothes for our Hawaii trip. I can’t wait, we are going to have so much fun.
Mine as well update this blog while I am here. The kiddos got reading medals and perfect attendance certificates at the last assembly:
Nikki lost another tooth on 4/9/13-she has now lost a total of 5. Justin still at 2.
The kids had a pretend wedding at home. It was so funny. They took paper and rolled it out in the foyer. Dad officiated and I was a flower girl. Nikki put on a dress that was a size 4 I believe and my veil. And Justin grabbed his robe as his outfit. As always they keep us laughing. Here are some pics:
They had their jog a thon at school and Nikki did 20 laps, Justin did 19. They both did so well. It was hard though as the kiddos had to remember to get a check mark after each lap-I am not sure that happened. Nikki got a medal for third place in the 1st grade for doing the most laps. Not the best pic as it was taken with my phone:
Bret is headed to NJ next week for work, ugh. But I am grateful he doesn’t have to go away too much.
