The Weekend

#1 event that Happened, but was not witnessed: Mallory rolled over from back to front. She did this Saturday night for the first time and again on Sunday. My theory is that she's forming an escape plan to get away from her big sisters when they try to smother her. : )

Doug & I went to Menards on Saturday night and the girls got to go to Aunt Sara's and play with Kye and Kody. Thanks Aunt Sara! A little note: I told the girls we were going to someone's house who had lots of toys - they guessed it right off the bat. : )

Sunday, Doug got the rest of the outside toys out for the girls to enjoy. Josie & Kylie got to plant some Zinnias and Snapdragons in the garden, since they missed out on planting the vegetables due to napping. All five of us enjoyed a 4-wheeler ride Sunday evening (Doug, Mallory & I on the front, Josie & Kylie in the cart on the back).

A few random things, mostly things said by Kylie. Kylie can buckle herself into her carseat, something Josie can't do yet (I think Josie's carseat is a little harder to buckle on the bottom). Kylie says "I do it my byself," when she wants to do something by herself, such as strapping into her seat. Also, Kylie is pretty big into saying "When we get home can we _______"

I have to give all 3 girls props for their napping this past weekend. On both Saturday and Sunday, all three were asleep at the same time, for at least 1 1/2 hours. I'm just proud of the big girls for not putting up such a fight.

Last thing. I went garage sale-ing this past Saturday. Of all the 6 or so ads I marked to go to, I didn't really have much luck, except for the one that had a Dora castle advertised. I was sure that by 8:30 it would be gone, especially since the sale started at 7:00. But sure enough, it was there and I snatched it up for $10. It was money well spent - the girls love it and it's been a great threatening/bribery tool. : )

I'm sure I forgot something. It was a busy weekend. Doug took Josie to the new parish center Friday night and let her ride around on her scooter while he and Gary worked for a couple of hours to get counter tops fastned down before the open house on Sunday morning. Doug was back there again at 6:30 Saturday morning to cut concrete and finish up getting the building ready. I will be soooooo glad when this project is done . . .
