Nice peaceful day at home. We just took it easy today. We did lots of cleaning up in the backyard. The kids helped picking up leaves and cleaning off the table. We cleaned up the veggie area a bit too. Dad played soccer on the greenbelt while Nikki helped me make lunch. The kids played with each other a bit but kept saying what can I do now? We finally gave the kiddos a bath. They really needed it. While outside we discovered we have a problem with the jacuzzi. Something is leaking, ugh just when daddy got it all working. We ran some errands today then came back home. It was so nice out the kiddos ended up going in the backyard pool. At first they put leaves in and were pretending they were boats. They walked in the water to get the leaves “boats” to move faster. The kids are looking so big. I just look at them in amazement at how much they have changed. Nikki and I both wore matching clips in our hair today, so sweet of her to want to do what I do. These kids are getting too big too fast. But I love watching them grow and learn. We spent some time working in some fun workbooks we have. The kids practiced letter/number writing. I love to watch them write their letters and see how they look. We had dinner in the backyard tonight, so nice. The kiddos decided they wanted to be dogs and go for a walk. So we put backpacks on them and tied on a leash. They loved it. It was a little embarrassing for us but the kids could have cared less. We read books and some how didn’t get the kiddos to bed until 9:00. It is hard to get them down at 8:00 when it is still light out.
