Fun Filled Weekend

McKenna, Lucas & Elijah Holding hands.

We had one of the busiest weekends I have had in a long time.

Aaron had a Frisbee tournament on Saturday so i wanted to make sure the boys and I got out. I called Erin and the two of us and all three kids went to breakfast at the local breakfast place and then hopped over to the Lindsay Wildlife Museum across the bridge. I forgot how small it was, however it entertained the kids for  about an hour.

We dumped everybody off, had our separate lunches and naps and about 3:00 rendezvoused again for another outing, this time to the pumpkin patch.  Again, this place was small and not much to write home about. I think we had higher expectations because we had heard about and how great it was from several friends. We were expecting lots of bells and whistles, and it really wasn't that, BUT the kids had a great time running around and seeing some goats and pigs and riding the train (for like, seriously 2 minutes and it cost me nearly $10).  We wore them out and went home.

Today, we got up...you know, the kids at what we thought was about 630 am, and us around 7 am. Turns out Dad informed us that Elijah had come in to his room about 330 am, and had not fallen back asleep....at all....  We had plans to see friends with a new baby today, and Elijah running on 330 am wake up, just didn't seem like it was going to fit in to our plans.  So we promptly scolded dad for not sending Elijah back to bed, scolded Elijah for getting up and going in to Dad's room so early in the morning, and then punished them both by making them spend the day together. Of course Elijah was a perfect gem for dad. Of course he was. And you KNOW he would have been an absolute basket case if he was with us, so in the end it really did work out for the best.

Accessing the chick

Yep, I think he likes this little girl! (p.s. he LOVES babies)

We got to spend some nice one-on-one time with Lucas, which was honestly, a little weird for all of us, because I don't think we have ever JUST had Lucas. Lucas kept saying the whole drive to our friend's house "where's Elijah".  It was pretty awesome only having one kid to look after as well, so we might have to punish dad and Elijah more often HAHA.

Lucas loved the baby as you can see and we had a nice visit.  We got the kids bathed and in bed before 8pm, which is a sheer miracle in this house and now they are all sound asleep, which is where I should be. With that I bid you goodnight.
