A Long Weekend

We had planned on going to our family beach house for the three day weekend, but with bad weather expected Friday and Saturday and bad tires on my car, we decided not to. On Saturday, we hung out at our friend Aidan's house.


Aidan gave us a lot of clothes, toys, books, and workbooks that he no longer uses. When we made it home and explored our new "treasures" we found a tracing book! Maybe you don't find this as exciting as I do, but I was just commenting on Verdemama's blog the other day about how I use to love tracing books but don't really see them anymore. It is Eaden's favorite now!


My sister gave us that lapdesk Eaden is using and the girls love it but only having one soon turned into a problem. So I made another one.


And now the girls have become workbook crazy.


 Eaden has started to invent spelling! I helped her with the sh and ch sounds. This is a recipe for pizza.

Recipe: Pepperoni, mushrooms, cheese, and olives

On Saturday, we made good use of our zoo membership and took my mom, sister, three nieces, Aidan and his mom to the zoo. Then we headed over to Hermann Park and the Butterfly Exhibit.









Today, Monday, we are cleaning, doing yardwork, taxes, and both girls have gymnastics.

  2. That just looks like an awesomely fun weekend. Can I just tell you, I am totally jealous of your green grass and warm weather. I will get a little when I head to my Mom's in Shreveport for 3 weeks end of March to mid April, but we won't get green here till end of June.
