Justin came to visit me in the middle of the night. He laid sideways across the pillows and filled up Bret’s side nicely. Today we are planning just a quiet day. We stayed home this morning and played. The kids are doing more and more puzzles these days. And so proud of themselves for completing it. Nicole did a care bear puzzle while Justin was working on the Car one. She finished first and I heard her ask Justin if he needed help then she said we will surprise mommy, so cute. I love when they help each other. We ran to Kohl’s to do a return and the grocery store. We ran into some friends there. Justin really wanted this fire engine shirt but when I saw the long line he wanted to wait and wait. The kids were being so kind to one another that I gave them some pennies to throw in the fountain. I love the little things that make them so happy. Nicole is getting a little screamy that I hope she isn’t getting sick. We decided to just take it easy and not rush around. So we had lunch then played in the yard. The kids helped me garden then I let them watch some TV. I am getting more hopeful about my pending photography business. I have received so many compliments on the pics that I have taken for friends, they are saying lots of people are giving them compliments too. The kids pounced on me in our bed. I let them jump all over me, mess up my hair, and I pushed them down on the bed. We had a great time. After the kid’s shower we put the kids bikes in the car and went to train path. The kids biked for a bit and I tried to jog. The kids kept stopping. They wanted to stop at the grass patch and play duck duck goose and so we did. It was fun. We ran to Michaels and then headed to Grammy’s. On the way to Grammy’s dad called so we went to pick him up at the airport. We were so excited to see daddy. We had dinner at Grammy’s and played. The kids were all over the Scooby Doo punch bag, although it became a soccer ball. On the way home we stopped off to get dad’s car by the airport. Justin went home with daddy. Dad gave the kiddos Chip and Dale stuffed animals and they were so excited. It was really cute. We were going to give them to them for Christmas but I knew daddy wanted to bring them back something. They are both sleeping with their chipmunks. They both said it was exactly what I wanted, so cute.
