Time to catch up on the blog. Some days I feel ok and others just kind of blah. I have definitely been a loner lately and not hanging out with friends. Yesterday was Grandma’s birthday, we surprised her and came over in the morning for breakfast. The kids were so excited to surprise grandma. They made her some pictures and a Valentine. We were there way longer than I anticipated. Then we stopped off at a friend’s house to drop off a baby gift. The kids were able to jump on the trampoline and play for a while. Then we went over to the Mission Viejo mall and played for a bit. We went on the lights, play area, Disney store, pet store, etc. We hadn’t really just hung out at the mall in a long time. At the Disney store they were having a good sale so I ended up spoiling the kids. Justin got a Tigger stuffed animal and Nikki got a Bolt one. Then I bought them cars, Justin got Luigi and Guido and Nikki picked out Sally. When we got home they were so excited to play parking garage together and had a blast. We are working on making Valentine’s for their pre school friends. They need to bring them in on Friday. So far it has been good practice writing and cutting.
So Buffi and Brittany are here as well. We have been trying to do lots of stuff with them. We went to Newport Beach with them. Nikki got to do the jumpy thing that she loves so much. Justin didn’t want to do it but went on the ferris wheel and played some games. Also we took them to the Spectrum. The kids and I tried to go earlier to play a bit but we ended up not having as much time as I hoped. We went into the pet store and a boring store for me. Or what the kids call boring. I am in need of clothes still. We had dinner with Buffi, Brittany, and Grammy. Nikki wanted to go ice skating so badly. She was so happy to be on the ice and she picked it back up again. She loved everyone watching her. She skated for a long time. Justin went on the ferris wheel twice. Nikki was so sad to have to go home and stop skating she cried and cried. It was close to bed time. She didn’t get over crying for a while. The kids are loving having Brittany and Buffi here-it is really cute. Both kids really look up to Brittany.
Dad had to get computer glasses and looks so cute in them. I will have to post a picture soon. The kids had pre school today then we headed to the library for a Thomas and Friends thing. It would have been cute had there not been so many people. Justin played on the library computer for a bit and Nikki and I read a few books. Then they colored a bit. We went out to dinner with Grammy and gang, then headed to Grammy’s for a bit. The kids got some new coloring books so they worked on that. As we were leaving they got all crazy, playing tag with Brittany. We got home late but it worked out as dad was busy working-he is on call this week. Plus we got a new TV for upstairs and a new Tivo so that has kept dad busy.
