Beautiful day out, dad worked from home. I gave the kiddos a shower this morning. It took a while to get in the shower as the kids found every distraction. Then when the time to get out of the shower came, it was hard to get them out. I started to give myself a pedicure. Now that the weather is warmer I want to wear my cute sandals. Nikki wanted her toes done too, so cute. While the kiddos were at school I went to lunch with a friend. It was so nice just to hang out and eat slowly. We ended up staying at Lazy Dog Cafe the entire time the kids were in school. I attempted to make home made pizza dough. It tasted good but didn’t bubble up-I may have over kneaded it. I will try again. I ran out to my photoshop elements class. I think it will be a good class-I am glad I have a foundation though if not I would be lost.

Today I weighed myself. Not sure what I was thinking. Lets just say I am on a diet big time. This morning was full of adventures though. The kids and I had so much fun exploring. I needed to run over to the eye doctor to have my eye glasses fixed. So we walked. We stopped in a bank so the kids could see the inside of a bank. There was someone really nice working that gave the kiddos the tour of the safety deposit boxes and gave them lollipops. Nikki didn’t like her flavor of lollipop and Justin switched with her. Justin was really nice to his sister today-I love it. Then we headed over to the dog groomers and the vet. The kids were fascinated with someone trying to get their dog on the scale. Finally we made it over to the eye doctor. Kids wore their jammies as it was jammie day in school.

I did forget their stuffed animals so I ran home to get them. I felt like such a mom running home to get something for school. The kids had so much fun wearing their jammies to school. They had hot chocolate w/marshmallows and pancakes. The kids got to take home a bear stuffed animal for the weekend and Marshmallow the bunny. I hope this bunny isn’t too much work for me. While the kids were at school I went to the gym-the first time in a long time. It felt good and I hope I can keep doing it. After school we stopped at the library to return books and get new ones. We got a Scooby Doo DVD, so the kids were thrilled. Although Nikki used it as an excuse not to go to bed saying there were scary parts. Tonight it was so nice out. We visited a neighbor friend whose birthday it was. We let Marshmallow the bunny out of his cage to run around a bit. Justin would always run up to him so the bunny always ended up running back in his cage. Marshmallow is getting a little too comfortable here. He was laying on top of our carpet we folded over all comfy and cozy. Good for the little guy since he probably doesn’t get much loving. We read all our library books and Bret had to do a little work. And I started getting the Valentine decorations out.
