Lazy Weekend

We did not do too much this weekend because we have several busy weekends ahead. We did go to the Van Meter school carnival, where Emma and Bella were able to bring home a prize of a new stuffed animal. Just what we needed because as most of you know we don't have enough stuffed animals...haha! Today we went to church and drive past a couple apartments so we could report back to our friend Mo which one was better to rent for his wife Shifa and son Kashif to live in. They will be moving to Iowa next weekend so she can have their new baby in the U.S. Ben and I will be helping her out since Mo travels so much. The rest of the day was spent at home where the girls played, practiced their dances for recital and did some homework.

Fussy day

Yesterday Bennett was very cranky from his shots, so I was not able to update the blog. He has finally gone back to his happy self today!! So glad to have my happy baby back :) He is now eating cereal like a champ, and will be ready for a veggie in about a week. Emma is starting to really like school now. She is really enjoying learning about stars and talks about the big and little dippers, Pegasus, and Draco the dragon. She knows where to look for these in the sky and can point them out. I am so amazed at what she has learned and how much she enjoys this subject. She also has a passion for learning about the presidents. She told me there have been 44 presidents and tells me many facts about different presidents. She also likes to look them up to see what they look like. Bella is starting to learn to read already. She can now read a couple of stories from the Dick and Jane book. I am amazed at how fast she pick things up. She has also been practicing her cart wheel and has almost got it perfected!!!

Spaghetti Dinner

Yesterday we went to Martensdale to watch my nieces, Haley and Grace play basketball. It is so hard to believe they are growing up this fast! Both of them did a great job. We then took Maryann with us to spend the night last night. I took all the kids to my mom's house for supper, then home. By the end of the day we were all exhausted. Today weft up and let the girls play a while then headed to church. After church we went to the spaghetti dinner at Churchville and enjoyed talking with family while helping to support the church where I grew up and Ben and I got married. Now all the kids are in bed asleep after a very busy weekend!!

Today the kids and I started out going to Chuck E Cheese. We played many games and lots of tickets, which the girls are saving for a big prize. We then went to Costco for lunch and shopping. Then off to Grandma Ann's house . Finally we went to Coldstone and finished the day off with ice cream. Overall we had a great day off from school!

Monday funday

I usually don't like Mondays, but today Emma has a day off from school!! The girls are still sleeping while I write this, and Bennett is thinking he is ready for nap #1. This weekend Ben was in Kansas City for all of Friday and Saturday. Friday night the kids and I went and visited Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Mike. Wyatt was there so we took pictures for his upcoming birthday. The girls stayed the night and came home Saturday morning. They must have been tired because they were naughty all day Saturday. I was glad to have Ben finally come home!

Dance day

Thursday's are our busy days. Bella goes to school from 8:25 am to 11:20 pm. We then go home have a quick lunch and get ready for dance at 1:00pm. Bella is not liking dance much this year, but I am making her stick it out hoping she will change her mind. We get done with dance and go home for a short time then head to pick up Emma. Poor Bennett spends a lot of time in the car seat on Thursdays, good thing he is such a good baby!!
