This weekend was a whirlwind!
Saturday we went to see my Friend Emily and her new daughter Ella. Gosh, you forget how little babies are when they are born, and Ella fed my baby fever! Chloe and Ava (Emily’s other daughter) played and enjoyed themselves playing dress up and playing with Ava’s guitar. SO CUTE! Evan was just focused on all the new trucks in Emily’s playroom. It was a short visit but a good one!
At 4 we made the short trip to my parent’s house to celebrate my dad’s birthday. We had a great meal that my mom prepared, paella, YUM! Evan was not happy with the fact that it was Grandpa’s birthday; he wanted it to be Evan’s birthday…pretty funny.
After dinner, Adam and I brought Chloe on a movie date to see Shrek 4. Chloe has loved Shrek for years now and I thought that at 3 ½ she was ready for her first movie. We had a good time, of course you have your typical embarrassing moments with a 3 year old like when she said to the lady in front of her that she cannot see, and when I found her rubbing the lady’s arm next to me (whoops). Shrek 4 was a good movie, maybe a little scarier than the others though. We had a fun movie date!
On Sunday we went to church, and then had a Church Chili Cook-off picnic after church as a local park. It was a lot of fun! Adam made chili for the first time and entered it; he did well but didn’t win, but there is always next time. We enjoyed the picnic, and the kids LOVED the playground. We love our church community!
After the Chili cook-off we went to Grandpa and Grandma DeLaForest’s house for Terese’s head shaving party. It was an emotional experience for all involved. We ate (again) and then Terese got her head shaved. Nikki and Luke both also shaved their heads in support of Terese! Later in the afternoon it was raining and the kids were playing out in the rain, it was so neat to see. This Thursday is Terese’s second chemo appointment, I am praying that it goes smoothly.
We got home with two REALLY tired little ones, it was a great weekend but we were all pooped.
Last night I went through my craft project album. I have been needing some hand towels for the powder room and it dawned on me, why would I go pay $8 at Target for hand towels when I have an abundance upstairs and I can personalize and put downstairs…I’d even like that better! So stay tuned for some pictures of my new personalized hand towels!
Cheers, Beth
