Almost the end of the year. Today was a day at home. So nice not to use the car. The kids played really well together this morning. I think they were happy to be playing with their toys. They colored together, played cars…it amazes me how Nikki is really reasonable about playing whatever Justin wants. They were playing cars and I rarely see Justin playing a girly thing with Nikki. I played with them as well and we played with Zoe. We got the Nerf guns out and had Nerf wars, it was so fun. I finally got them into the bath before lunch. They took a really long bath. In the bath they brought their cooking tools, bowl, cup, whisk, measuring spoons. They had a great old time. I worked a bit in their rooms trying to make room to bring some toys in their room. I also ironed some of dads shirts while they were in the tub. It was a work from home day for daddy. He had to study for a certification test and thankfully he passed. After he got home he messed around with us. I left the iron out and the ironing table. I lowered it for the kids and let them play with it (not plugged in). They loved it. It was so cute. So funny how kids love to do that stuff but when you get older doing that stuff stinks. Justin and I went out front to play with Zoe. He got on his razor bike then drove his car for a bit. He used the cones to make a track. Nikki and daddy were playing with dad’s new ipad inside. Outside I decided while we had time I took down the X-mas lights. I need to put some boxes away in the garage then holidays are put away. Dad and Nikki came out and then everyone started to play soccer. We came back inside and the kids played angry birds on the ipad. Then we read some library books. We were planning on going to dinner to celebrate dad passing the test but the kids seemed more content to stay home. We made a quick dinner then just played. The kids and dad played games and I worked on making my 2011 photo calendar. Zoe was so needy so Nikki and I took her for a walk. Upstairs the kids were crazy and I was crazy along with them. I let them rocket ship over me. Basically they jumped on me and used me as a rocket-there was a lot of laughter and crazy fun. Luckily they didn’t have an issue going to bed.
