Bret was up and out of the house early this morning for training in LA. Nicole woke up a little early and cuddled in my bed with me. I just wanted to go back to sleep. For some reason I am so tired today. Maybe I got too much sleep last night? We stayed home this morning and hung out at home. I ended up giving the kids a bath. Justin did not want to get out of the bath. He stayed in for so long. He was playing with the fishy that stick to the bottom of the tub to make it non-slippery-he would catch them in his mouth. After Nicole got out she wanted to put on her bathing suit. Justin continued to play with trains, watching Spencer and James go around the track. Nicole played out back for a bit while Justin did trains. The kids pretended to ice skate around the kitchen with blue plastic bins on their feet. We all had to leave the kitchen as the zambonie was coming out. They are taking an ice skating class on our kitchen floor. While the kids watched some TV I took a nap and I rarely nap. I am just so tired today. The kids pretended to have a birthday party for Biscuit (Nicole as a dog). All toys went onto their little table in the kitchen, what a mess. They were pretending to wrap presents. Also they used me as a bridge and kept crawling and walking on me. Boy are they getting heavy. We ran to Toys R Us. Of course the kids had a blast playing around in the store. I ended up getting the kids another remote control train for the Geo Trax set. Justin chose between 4 trains and chose a cool silver train. After we headed to the ice skating rink for Nicole’s lessons. She did so great and got a little certificate. She was so proud of her certificate, it was cute. She is moving faster and faster on the ice. Grandma/pa met us there, so after skating we headed to In N Out Burger for dinner. The kids had fun with grandma/pa. They got some stickers and had fun sticking them on themselves. The kids were really hungry. I tried to get home pretty quickly as dad hadn’t seen the kids all day. Justin was so excited to show daddy his train, we couldn’t get batteries in it fast enough. Justin didn’t even take off his shoes, he just went to play trains. They fought a little over the new train. Here is a picture of the kids playing trains, the silver train is the new one.

Justin all of a sudden got a burst of energy when he went upstairs and wanted to run around. We read books and the kids went right to sleep.
