This weekend i have spent most of my time with just the kids. Kendall has been working his butt off this whole week, and Saturday spent from 8-5:30 working on either a class for our house loan or showing houses. Since he has been so busy, i have tried to come up with new ways and places to entertain the kids considering i can't take the wagon in my car, and Kendall has the SUV to show people houses. Yesterday we went to Safeway, and although that isn't exciting to the average person, the kids LOVE the shopping carts because they have a little firetruck attached to the front of the cart, and the kids sit in there and honk the little horn. If i stop for more than 10 seconds they turn and go "mommmeeeeeee" annoyed like because they want to be moving.
After that we met a friend at Chili's restaurant. Yes, we are moving up, although it isn't officially open yet, Laurel's boyfriend Craig is working there, and they had a day sponsored by Saint Jude's for special VIP invites to come eat for free, donations excepted, to get the staff practice. It was real nice and the kids were very well behaved. I do not think they have been so good at a restuarant before, i didn't even have to pull out any tricks out of the diaper bag (animal cards, books, stuff like that). I think it helped that we were directly under a tv with dragracing on it, the kids would raise their fists and yell "GO! GO! GO!" at the cars, and when they started driving they would yell "YAY!" and clap their hands...they did this all on their own we didn't even encourage it, very cute. And when our friend Craig stopped by to tell us he already had gotten a great tip, Layla excitedly yelled "GREAT!!!!" Very cute.
The kids went home for a nap, and soon as they woke up i piled them in the car and we went to a BBQ at Gary and Nikki's. They ended up spending the night there since we stayed so late. It was a nice time, :)
Today we picked up the kids, played at the park. At the park we had seen a little stuffed dinasaur that looked like it was pretty new, i put it on the pole so a parent could see it if they came back...however today it was still there, lonely and sad, and Aidan begged to play with it so... all in all he took it home and will not put the thing down. I figured it the parents didn't miss it after 2 days then it wasn't very important to the child. By the time we headed home, Layla and Aidan got to say hi to their little girl friend Stacy. She is 5 months and the kids adore her! They gave her little kisses on her forhead before they left. It has been a good weekend, the only sad thing is most of it has been spent without Kendall...We all miss him, and hope all this hard work will pay off, because again he is off showing houses, on a Sunday afternoon.
