Turned into a busy day. And Bret and I were so tired. He had to work last night and when the phone rang it woke me up. I had trouble falling asleep and then had a visitor (Justin) again in our bed. He stayed in our bed until he started snoring then I carried him back to his room. We were lazy and slow this morning. We read the paper and hung out at home. We had a swim lesson. The kids are doing really well in swimming. Nicole has no fear and Justin is a little more cautious. We played at the pool for a bit. Justin got cold so spent time in the shower. After the kids got showers and we headed to lunch. We went to our favorite sandwich place. We had to go to Grammy’s too. She needed some help fixing some things plus we want to spend time with her before she goes to NZ. The kids played really well together. We stopped at Costco and it was so crowded. What was I thinking going on a Sunday? But now I have a packed fridge. We got home and we were tired and easily annoyed, so the kiddos watched TV and rested. Dad spray painted the blue on Nicole’s furniture to pink. It took me forever to put away all the food. After TV dad read to the kids and we had dinner. We played in the backyard for a bit. The kids pretended their play house was a drive thru so dad and I drove up and ordered food. Nicole even yelled out a number saying the food was ready. It was so nice out and nice to be at home. We were going to go to a festival tonight but we were just feeling wiped out. We went upstairs and the kids read books for a bit. But then they just wanted to play. Justin was busy finding shady places for his cars and Nicole was pretending to be Clifford the dog. We got the tunnel out-the first time in a while. And the kids put their sheets at the ends and pretended they were going through dog doors. Even though dad and I were stuck holding the sheets we had fun. The kiddos were really cute tonight. We are heading to bed soon too.
