Wow today was a non-crazy day for once.  We were at home this morning just cleaning up toys, getting ready for the cleaners. The kids were busy drawing and making a mess. They love their huge paper as one can draw on one side and the other on the other side. I read the kids lots of books-we haven’t been doing a lot of reading lately. We had play group at the park this morning. It wasn’t too bad in the sun but the wind was really cold. The kids had a lot of fun though. They played with their friends, ran around with the ball, swung, etc. Justin had to go to the bathroom and there was no time, so I ran him to the car. Poor Nikki didn’t know where I went, she was crying. I screamed to her and she heard me but she had a hard time. I re-assured her I would never leave without telling her. She was ok and nice and snuggly which I loved. We stayed at the park for a while as the cleaners were here. We had to play upstairs when we got home. We came down and the kids wanted cereal for lunch so I just went with it. So easy. Then we just played. The house stayed clean for all of two minutes. The kids and I played, we made Lincoln Log houses, played with cars, and played with my old cabbage patch doll. We waited for Tierney to come over. We played with her a bit, got our hair pulled, and got pinched-ha ha ha She is lucky she is cute. Then we went for a walk to get my contacts. Halfway there Justin connected it was near the pizza place. Since I had no money we came back home then headed out again. Nicole loved being in the stroller with Tierney. It was very handy actually. Nicole kept her socks on. Nicole loved being the care taker and helping me with T. Justin was busy giving her toys. We went to the pizza place for a bit. Justin played the driving game and Nikki, T, and I hung out. Justin was thrilled to be there. When we got home we all just played. T really loved watching the train go around. I built a new track using the bridge. We all played in the play room. Dad got home and the kids pounced on him. We were making block towers for Tierney to knock down. So the good news of the day is we found the harmonica-not so good for me, and Justin’s original Dinoco car which I actually think is Lightening McQueen just painted blue. We went to Chick Fil A for family night. It wasn’t too crowded. The kids didn’t get to play in the play area for too long. They aren’t scared of the big cow anymore, he had on a Santa hat. They gave him a high 5 and wanted to know where he was at all times. The kids colored Christmas trees. Justin traced all around his and Nicole colored mostly in the lines and she even drew presents under the tree. Nicole wanted ice cream from Chick Fil A so since there ice cream isn’t the best we went to Yogurtland. It was so yummy! Kiddos are sleeping and we are waiting for Zoe to come over as we are dog sitting.
