We woke up to no rain, woo hoo. Nice and sunny. We stayed home all morning. We played with the kiddos. We got all the wind up toys out. Justin was chasing after the space shuttle one. Nicole’s favorite was the smiley face one.  Dad played Memory with the kids. Then we taught the kids how to play Uno. Justin really liked it and said it was a fun game. Nicole and I played with puppy in the pocket stuff.  We got out the Valentine’s decorations and the kids did some Valentine crafts. Justin made a foam house and Nicole made a wreath. They came out really cute:

Dad hung up the magnetic dart board in Justin’s room, so we played with that for a bit. Dad and Justin bought stuff from Nicole and then the kiddos played marbles. The kids talked to grandma/pa on the phone and invited themselves over. So we packed the kids up as they wanted to stay the night. Kind of sad but at the same time it is nice to have a little break since the rainy weather kept us inside. I miss them so much. On the way to grandma/pa Nicole said we can get some work done and talk on the phone without being bothered. Justin was so talky on the way to grandma/pa. It is so cute when he goes on and on. On the way we stopped at the toy store. The kids had fun looking around and playing with trains. Dad got himself a remote control car so he could race with Justin. Justin was so excited about it. Nicole was kind of sad she didn’t get anything but then I explained to her we can play doll house while dad and Justin race cars. That made her really happy. The kids were excited to get to grandma/pas. Dad raced cars with Justin and Nicole was busy doing shows. She was so sad she forgot glasses but grandma had a pair for her. So hard to say goodbye to the kiddos for me. They are so dam cute! Bret and I got to spend some time together at home-it was really nice. We got some food to go and ate it on the couch in front of the TV. I can’t remember the last time we did that. We also ran to Yogurtland. So easy to hop in the car for a fast trip when there are no kids in tow. I am so mixed as I love being with hubby but I didn’t get to tuck my kiddos into bed. Bret and I are just going to watch a movie then head to bed.
