Busy weekend

We had a busy- but fun weekend. Mom and dad were here with Sarah- but her plane left at 5 on Saturday. Sarah and I checked out the new Sephora store at Jordan Creek Friday night- I could easily become addicted!

Jane Nicholas and her family came to town on Saturday for Adam Whitney's wedding (talk about a clash of my worlds!) so we got to have lunch with them. Maggie and Janes daughter Isabelle had a great time together!
Maggie had another tumbling class- the teacher told her she was doing much better and she was so happy!

Saturday night was Maggies first concert. She did great sitting (mostly quietly!) through Ben masterworks chorale concert. It was less than an hour long and she had a great time. Once the music started she turned to me and said "it's music to my ears:)"

Yesterday was Sunday School and shopping! As Maggie has been known to say "it's always something!"

Owen had a nice weekend too:) I can't leave him out!

I'll try to post some pics this week.

Have a great week!

PS- for those of you who went to Middle School with me- do you remeber who our 7th grade math teacher was?

Contraptions

We went to lunch with mom and Sarah yesterday at Spaghtti works. Maggie says she is scared- I ask why- her answer "look at those contwaptions up there" meaning all of exposed painted pipes:)

On a totally unrelated note- I love the soundtrack to Wicked! I have listened to it twice today already.

I need anyone who reads this to send sleep vibes to Owen... he was only up twice last noght- but I need a full nights sleep already!!!!!!

Ooops!

So I wasn't able to login and I was blaming blogger- nope my own fault!

Mom has been staying with us since Wednesday night and watching the kids- what would I do without her??? Sarah flies in today and Maggie can't wait to see her!

O has been doing fine, if you overlook the yucky cold he has had for over a week and the lack of sleep! (both Owen and mama!) he is happy as a clam during the day- but nights aren't much fun! He has mastered army crawling and is quick- I love to watch him chase after his train!

She had her 2nd tumbling class Saturday and did fine- she is one of only a couple kids that can't do a somersault by themselves, but she is also one of the youngest. She'll get it eventually!

Easter was fun- the bunny brought 2 baskets:) (Thank you Aunt Leah!) So she was doubly excited!

Some funnies:

From M while watching "Ace of Cakes"
M: Mama you can have some of dadas wedding cake when he gets married.
Me: I would hope I am the one he is marrying!
M: No mama, he will marry a dirtier woman.
Me:(once I could breathe again after laughing so hard!) Where did you hear that?
M: Shrek.
(I need to watch it again I guess!!)

I went to pick her up from Sunday School yesterday and she hugged the teacher and said "I have jesus in my heart" that was the theme of the lesson, so the teacher was happy to know that it rubbed off:)

Mom had her draw a card for my nana (she is in a lot of pain from shingles) Maggie wrote and wrote and then told mom what it said "god loves you. you need to pray. say Thank you for your wonderful family" Seriously I don't know where she gets it- we just started going to church on a regular basis... Maybe Sunday school is rubbing off on her!

Have a great Monday!

Mondays.... what more can I say:)

What a busy weekend! M started her tumbling class on Saturday and had a great time. We also went and bought her new big girl car seat- she got to pick it out, so of course it has pink flowers on it:) Whatever works! Yesterday we went to Marshalltown to see the in-laws and we got to watch Cars on grandpas new projection tv- 4 by 8 feet would about take up our whole wall- but it was kind of neat.

I realized I forgot to mention O in my last post! Oooops! He is getting bigger by the minute and is army crawling to get where ever he wants to go. He can get up on his hands and knees and rocks, but can't quite figure out the real crawl out yet (and I hope it takes awhile! At least he is slow moving right now.)

I'll try to post pictures soon!


M on the commute this morning was having her stuffed panda sing to O- "I don't mind if slobber on me, Please don't grab on me, and on and on" Then she says "that was wrotten by Panda Cosette. all of the panda operas are wrotten by panda cosette." I'm still giggling about her made up songs!
