Yay for DVD Players and Puddles

Lorelei being entertained by the Fridge DJ. A great investment from the sale! We also went back and got part of Lorelei's birthday present on Friday... a bounce and spin zebra... $15 at the sale instead of $45 in the store. :) So far she enjoys that as well but hasn't quite gotten the hang of bouncing and spinning it herself. I was told from other moms and read reviews that it will be a huge hit. :)

Friday night we went out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse to celebrate Brad getting his bonus from work! Yay! As we were walking in we were saying "boy we haven't gone out anywhere nice in a long time...we will have to do this more often..."
Well after about 10 minutes in the restaurant we were quickly reminded why we DON'T do this!!! Lorelei enjoyed the yummy bread but that only lasted so long, and soon she was not behaving very well. I took her outside until the food game, then after we ran out of food to put in her mouth to keep her quiet, took her back outside. Not exactly a relaxing evening of shoveling our steaks in as fast as we could, but it was good food at least!


Saturday we were excited to go and get our portable dvd player! Although shopping was a bit of a disaster, we are happy with the purchase and it has already made driving anywhere about a million times better! We actually got to carry on an adult, uninterrupted conversation on the way to church! I didn't have to be constantly throwing toys and singing while running errands this morning! We are hoping this will make the plane ride much easier for us...cross your fingers. :)
We also tried peanut butter and woo hoo no allergic reaction!



Sunday we tried to have a little more fun. We are always up with the roosters so figured we may as well head to the park. The weather was great that time of day and Lorelei enjoyed some play time. We had a nice stroll there but a pretty good power walk on the way back since it was nap time. (we also learned there is NO WAY we are ready to give up morning nap yet!) It had rained the day/night before, so Lorelei ended up soaked, as you can see. Church went well and she had no problem being left in the nursery again. Then in the afternoon we went out for ice cream!
