3 day weekends

For a change this 3 day weekend did not mean do a bigger project.
This really was a relaxing weekend.

Friday Joel and I went out for dinner alone. We love our baby sitter. We also love that she picked up both the girls from day care on Wednesday and took them home so Joel and I could play softball. Normally she would bring them to the game, but it was 40 degrees and rainy, yuck (but we won).

Saturday
Walk to Starbucks
On our way back from Starbucks we went to our Farmers Market
Played outside (and did some yard work)
Ate dinner outside

We had one issue with Emerson and running down the driveway and not stopping when you tell her too. So after dinner we practiced for awhile...of course I thought of this after we had changed her diaper for bed.
Sunday
Walk to Starbucks
Went to a new park (Emerson loved the slides and tunnel)
Brynn had fun too.Catch up on house work while the girls nap.
Make beer can chicken, which Emerson proceeded to devour.

I finally got the iPod back working on our computer and then we had a dance party on our deck...sorry no pictures of that it was getting dark;) Emerson likes to dance like a dinosaur, Brynn fell asleep on Joel's shoulder.

All was well until bed time. Brynn is getting her first tooth and she is not happy. So she ended up in our bed about 11:00. Then about 1:00AM we heard a helicopter go over our house, really loud and it wasn't 5 mintutes later Emerson was crying (scared me too). So I slept in her bed with her and Joel slept with Brynn. They both are all over, so it isn't really sleeping with them it is more like protecting your face.

Monday

We did not get in the car once (that was really nice)

Walk to Starbucks (See a theme, coffee first then play)
Went to see duckies

Early nap

Walk to parade

Hey Abs,
I keep waiting for the "more to come" but its not coming. ;)

Just curious, how far away is starbucks from your house? I love that you guys can walk there. That's a good deal!

I am dying over your comment about sleeping with the girls...we are living that exact scenario nightly these days...the best is the unexpected karate chop to the gut in the middle of the night...

Hope you are well! The girls are beyond adorable!

XO
Nicole

I wish we had a starbucks within walking distance. DH just went to get me one. I love how you go to the park every weekend with the kids. I hope the weather gets nicer over here so we can enjoy that as well.
