Weekend highlights:
- Our good buds from CO came to see us and the TX sunshine! The good weather was perfectly timed, as it was only in the 40's today.
- Everyone slept a million times better than I thought they would! I don't even think anyone reached for the Melatonin. Superman and Jube shared a room which was comical because Superman needs a night light and Jube needs a pitch black room. Every night had a predictable pattern. Tuck in...check. Giggles, yelling, and general playing....check. Parents sticking their heads in to say it was time to quite down... check. Less noise... check. Sudden uproar with one boy in near tears because the night light got unplugged and another saying, It's too bwight. It's too bwight to sleep.... check.
- We had fun going to at all our favorite spots. The mall playground, the Science Spectrum, and the park. When we were out and about Jube kept asking if he could go back to S's house. I couldn't tell if he didn't like our outings, or more likely he was afraid his trip was over and he would be driving home before playing with all of our toys. :)
- Sunday morning was perfect. Everyone slept in a tiny bit (and if memory serves Lu all night...) We had breakfast at Krispie Kreme and then went to see our bud Sam the fireman. Those boys circled that truck like hungry sharks.
- We got to celebrate a valentine's day birthday. I rooted around in the cabinet to find a big #2 candle and put nine singles on the cake. When no one was paying attention, Bear took two big bites out of the candle. I'm guessing he thought it was candy or something edible, but it cracked me up to see not one, but two perfect teeth prints on that thing. It's times like these that I would love to know the thought processes of my children. "Yummm! That looks good! Chomp. yummm...waaait-a-minute.... that tasted disgusting. Maybe I'll try another bite on the bottom. Chomp. Nope, still gross." Did it cross his mind to try a third bite of wax? Alas, I'll never know.
- Joe and Pearl did some shopping while we took Jube to play with us at the mall playground. J & P (or mostly just the J) abhor shopping so they bought a bunch of stuff without trying anything on, so Pearl and I (the other J & P) ended up taking a bunch of stuff back. Why does this merit a bullet on the highlight list, you ask? Because we had a little situation when we got to the store for a return and realized J had ripped off all the tags on his jeans. A quick phone call revealed he was smart and stuck the tags in the jeans' pockets. After a quick search our friendly Kohl's employee found no tags but 7 bucks in crumpled up cash. This is still something of a mystery to me. When did he have time to wear the jeans? And if he wore them to the park, why did he need 7 bucks? We laughed and they returned them, although clearly worn. (or not?)
- We got a babysitter and went out! This should have been bullet point number one, if I would have been thinking. Our fabulous Farbie watched the four boys and we went out for dinner. It was soooo lovely.
Here's some pics!
