Our busy weekend

Below are some pictures of Sunday evening. At the bottom I blog about the entire weekend.

Cute video of the kids swinging - it starts off sideways, but then I correct the view - operator error!

The swings are always a hit at the park, for both of the kids!

Holly playing with the tic tac toe at the park - no real game here, just spining around the triangles. I guess everyone is a winner!

Myles thinks he is so cool when he climbs up the outside of the tunnel slide.

Holly ready to go down the twisty slide - she loves the slide!

Holly coming up the tunnel slide! Notice the theme here..... slides are fun!

What a busy weekend this turned out to be! Friday after work I met up with my personal trainer and he whipped my muscles into a burning frenzy. Feels so good, it hurts! Then when I got home, Erik took off to hang out with some friends for the evening. Good for him to get some guy time, and I enjoyed hanging out with the kids and then some quiet time by myself after they went to bed. Saturday morning was busy - I hit up a garage sale right at 8:00 am and scored big time by getting Holly a toddler bed. It's a cute little white wood one. I'll probably transition her in July. Can't wait! We then played outside for awhile before going over to our Babysitter's graduation open house. The kids were so happy to see her! Myles couldn't believe that he was at Jenni's house. We hung out for a while, ate cake, and chatted with people. Then home for nap time (for Holly). In the evening my Sister and her husband Pete came over for dinner and hung out for awhile. It was good to see them, and the kids were happy to play with them! We already can't wait to see Aunt Erica and Uncle Pete again!

Sunday was a good day as well. It started off on a good note when I slept in until 8:00 am! Yippee! This was a good thing since my lovely daughter decided to cry for a while during the night, which interrupts all of our sleep. Ugh. The morning was a lazy, relaxed one. Lots of warm coffee. Then we headed off to the local green house to buy some flowers. Myles and I took on the challenge of putting them in this giant flower pot that Erik had bought earlier that morning. It turned out great! I should have taken a picture... maybe that is a good idea for another day. Lunch was at home - mac & cheese. Yum. More playing out side, then Holly went down for a nap. Myles has now given up naps, and so he hung outside for a while with us chatting with neighbors. He then came inside for some "quiet time". That has replaced his nap time. I was off to the Goodwill to drop off a donation or two. When I got home we packed up and headed to the local community center to swim in the outside pool. That was fun! We ran into our other neighbors there and had a good time. The kids were thrilled to have someone to play with. After it clouded over a bit, Holly and Myles started to chatter their teeth and complain about the cold. So off we went, back to our house to grill some brats for dinner & finish off some left overs as side dishes. And once again after dinner we headed outside to continue to burn off our energy at the local park! This is where I got some cute pictures for this blog. We met up with yet more neighbors to play at the playground, and a good time was had by all - kids and grown ups alike. We then got home just in time for bed time. Lucky us! So now Erik and I are just relaxing, while he watches the Lakers hopefully beat Orlando. Currently they are ahead by 15. Cross your fingers that it stays that way!

Hope everyone had as good of a weekend as us!

Love, Andrea
