Weekend

We had a busy weekend! It started with Friday night. Jess had a Girl Scout cookie booth to participate in. Four girls for 3 hours selling cookies can be an experience. Good fortune for the cookie mom and me that we had decent weather to be outside. They did a good job. Quite a few cookies were sold. Daddy and Brandon had a little bonding time.

Saturday was birthday party time for Ray. Already the big 1. It goes by so fast. Shannon had asked if we would be the photographers for the day. She had to really twist our arm! Lots of new toys and cute clothes. He is set for the summer! The cupcakes arranged as Elmo's face was... yummy!! To bad Ray didn't want to dig in.
Check out Shannon's blog for some pictures of a fun day! (It was worth the wait)


After the festivities, we had another surprise. Uncle Mike and Aunt Rachel are having a baby!!!! So cute the way they announced to everyone. Shannon was making a video for her parents since they we not able to fly in from Florida. So for their greeting Mike told them he was sorry they couldn't be here in person when they told everyone that Rachel was pregnant. Needless to say everyone went silly crazy! How excited we are for them!!
So say a little prayer for a smooth sailing pregnancy.

The kiddos went home with Grandma and Grandpa. Since they will be moving this coming weekend, they needed "one last sleep over." Who needed it, you ask. The kiddos or the grandparents? ...That one is probably a toss-up!

Sunday was another cookie booth. Remember those commercials for Dunkin Donuts? "Time to make the donuts." That sort of what it feels like...must sell cookies, must sell cookies. Thank goodness we are about to wrap this up.

It was so nice outside after the cookie booth. I did a bit of grocery shopping. This time it was daddy/daughter bonding time. When I got home we got Jess out on her bike. We have been making small attempts at getting this girl off her training wheels. She made some real progress! So proud of her for the "try, try again" attitude. And she brought out the roller blades and proceeded to go around the neighborhood. Us going with her of course! Her skills are already much better than her mom's! She obviously takes after her daddy in the roller blade department. Brandon made it home around dinner time. Bathtime and bedtime.

And here we are...back to Monday.

I would be remiss in my mommy duties if I did not get a couple pictures of my own kiddos. I will need to upload the bike riding pics another time.
