Girls weekend!

Nathan left Wednesday for his annual guys golf trip to Destin. We were very sad to see him go. The girls and I had lots of fun though, while he was gone. I thought this was a funny picture of Lucy, Charlotte, and Beevis. It was orginally supposed to be a picture of Charlotte and Lucy showing the playdough we made that day but then as you can see Beevis snuck in and laid a big one on Charlotte. Too funny. I'm sure it surprises you all but the boys really don't do that too often (thankfully)!

I think it rained the entire time Nathan was out of town. UGH!! There were a few hours on Thursday that the sun did come out and we made it outside for a little while wearing our rain boots of course. This is Charlotte's first ride in the swing. She seemed to like it a lot. The more she swung the happier she became. It really wasn't that cold outside but it was very windy for some of the time, hence the hat.

I thought those were some cute close ups of the girls!

Saturday was such a yucky day. So the girls and I played most of the day. We got a diaper box and covered it in construction paper and stickers and then drew on it and made a face and cut out a big hole for the mouth and used it as a bean bag toss game. It was fun. A friend of mine had done it with her 2 year old boy and he played with it for hours she said. They liked it but not that much! :) So, after lunch I thought we would skip nap and have some lazy fun. It was raining outside so we went to the Movie Gallery where you can buy kids movies for $1 and some are even for free. Lucy picked out Care Bears and Annalyse picked out The Wiggles (I didn't even know she knew who they were.) We came home and made chocolate chip cookies (a special kind without eggs or peanuts), then popped popcorn and made a big pallet in the floor and ate popcorn and cookies and watched our movies. It was such a treat and they absolutely loved it.

Before Nathan left for his trip Annalyse brought one of her dolphins to him and asked him to take the dolphin with him to the beach, and so of course he did. Saturday afternoon we received this picture by email. Too sweet!!

Her eyes were huge. I think that meant so much to her that he did that. Nathan got home this afternoon and looks totally exhausted. He had a great time but I think he is worn out.
