It should be ok if you never applied the brakes. If your pedal feels spongy at all then bleed them

Well did go down street to neighors and back used brakes 2 or 3 times lightly, brakes feel ok so should I still bleed, I hear brake fluid doesnt circulate much is that true?

You should be ok, brake fluid doesn't circulate a lot only when the pads wear down will it enter the rest of system.
