Weekend in Review

We had a pretty uneventful weekend for the most part.  Friday night, Daniel and I went and got new cell phones.  I like them and I think Daniel is still undecided.  We got ones that have keyboards for texting even though we don't text that often.  Who knows, maybe we will be texting fools in no time!

Saturday, I took Ellie with me on a few errands.  We went to the car wash to get the van cleaned.

Here is Ellie waiting for the car to be finished.  It was sunny outside so she wore mom's glasses.

Here Elise is looking through the car wash.  If you'll notice, she has my old pink cell phone in her back pocket.  She has been carrying it around all over the place.

On the weekend mornings, the kids just kind of hang out and do their own thing.  Ellie has been big on crafts so I had her busy doing a tiger magnet.

Meanwhile, Owen was getting educated on his laptop.  I really like this toy because he has learned letter recognition and both kids have been learning letter sounds from it as well.

Meanwhile... Maggie is still sleeping.  In Mom and Dad's bed.  She usually wakes up at about 4 and I make Daniel go get her and bring her in our bed and then she conks out until about 6:30 or 7.

The kids have been LOVING playing outside lately.  The weather has been great for it.

They literally spend hours out there every day.

They play with chalk,

And collect leaves, but my favorite is when their little imaginations really get going and they tell me about the dolphins they see in the sky, or the snakes in the grass (that one scared me of course, but I investigated and realized they were just playing) or the wolves in the backyard.
