Another day at home, now I am starting to get bored-ha. We just hung out at home and the kids found things to play with. They read some library books and jumped all over me. They looked at some pics on my laptop with me. Then I started cleaning up dog hair with my swiffer and that got the kiddos started. I no longer have my swiffer and Nikki has mine and Justin has the little one (baby one, the kids call it). They are taking them all over the house and cleaning. They never really see me clean so they are having fun. I made them a smoothie for a snack. They have been wanting smoothies for weeks. They drank them laying on the kitchen counter. I had to take a pic:

Since we were on a cleaning spree I decided to work in the garage. I am always working in the garage. I pulled my car out so the kiddos could bike and play in the garage. They helped clean and sweep too. I don’t know how I keep finding stuff to get rid of but I do. I took down the Christmas lights too while the kiddos threw the ball for Zoe on the greenbelt. We had to run to the grocery store to get milk. We are switching to organic milk. When we got home from the store we went back on the greenbelt and played. We took Zoe for a little walk as well. It was just nice not be in a rush or needing to do anything. Dad came home and we had an early dinner. After dinner we headed to Candy Cane Lane in RSM to see the decorations. Unfortunately some people either didn’t have them lit up or were busy taking them down but we did see a few cool houses. I felt bad that it wasn’t as great as it could have been, so we stopped to get frozen yogurt on the way home. We just love this yogurt place, yogurtland. When we got home the kids went crazy with paper and crayons. This is the first time they have been allowed crayons in their rooms. They scribbled then tore the paper out. They pretended they were delivering newspapers (like Alvin in the Christmas movie) and X-mas cards. Our hallway was full of paper. It was cute but messy. We put the munch kins to bed and I was off to walk the dog.
