I have crazy kids today. We stayed home most of the day. It was kind of nice. I did take the kids with me to get a blood test. Their Leapsters and coloring books kept them happy. Justin watched the blood test but Nicole didn’t want too. Justin was eating rasains just watching-it was like he was watching TV while eating popcorn. Anyway, pretty much got the house back together. It is nice having a dog around but I don’t miss the dog hair. Dog hair everywhere. Nicole started out wearing her Tinkerbell costume a few hours later and she put on Abby Cadaby. The kids were so funny today. They pretended they were elves and got toys ready for Santa. They played outside and pretended to put the gooey things on the side of the house. I asked for my broom back and they said ohhh it is all gooey now. They were cracking up-love the little things make them laugh. I did laundry and finally have an empty laundry basket. The kids pretended they were Alvin and Simon, which is no surprise. But they turned the big king chair into bunk beds. They also turned the play room upside down dumping all the bins. It was hard not too be mad but I made them clean it all up. We went outside for a while and played on the greenbelt. The kids played with their balls for a bit, throwing them up in the air. They were having a great time. We threw balls for Zoe too. We were outside for a while, it was such a nice day. We played soccer too. Nicole got a little upset when she didn’t get the ball. After talking to her she was much better. They played pile up on mom. Also got up and did and Alvin and the chipmunks show. We came in and I negotiated with the kids, a little swinging and in return they would take a bath. They are wanting to take baths alone lately. So Justin and I played cars while Nikki was in the bath. Nicole is wearing her favorite shorts and a short sleeve shirt. Crazy girl as the rest of us are in pants. After bath we headed to Costco. Starting to look at Organic stuff. I can’t believe how much more expensive it is. The kids ate their way through Costco. While I was doing a return the kids were signing Alvin and the Chipmunks. Of course I went to Costco too late so by the time we got home they weren’t hungry for dinner, oops. It worked out really well as dad wasn’t very hungry either. On the way out of Costco the kids are yelling happy new year at everyone, so funny. We got home and the kids colored. They colored some pics for Art/Bernice. Art/Bernice came over and brought them a X-mas gift, so thoughtful. We are lucky to have such nice neighbors. The kids watched some TV. Then we went upstairs for some hide n seek. It was so fun. We only had time to read a couple books then off to bed. The kids are wanting us to stay in their rooms longer and longer. I try to love the time but there a million things I need to do.
