Easel and Bill Cosby/First Real Babysitting Saturday

As you can see, we got an easel...and its HUGE! This spot is where I originally thought it could fit...but then there is pretty much no way Lorelei's high chair can join us at the table for supper...so we have some rearranging to do, but for now it will work. Found a great deal on craigslist as these are normally $100+ and we got it for $30 but of course had to drive basically all the way down to North Carolina (even though they technically still live in Chesapeake...pretty big city limits if you ask me!) and had to pay $4 in toll fees to drive like a mile on the toll road! Fitting it into the Escape was doosy too as we ended up even having to put the seat down. :) So far Lorelei is enjoying it and Brad got a dowel rod for the middle so now all we need a roll of paper and hopefully she will love coloring the paper as well. Hopefully will enjoy for many years to come...she can definitely grow into it. ;) And hey its wide enough a friend can draw on the same side as her! :)

Then after nap time we got ready to head off to drop Lorelei with the Checks so we could enjoy Bill Cosby. SO first time leaving Lorelei with someone when she wasn't sleeping (we have gone on several dates throughout her 16 months of life but she has always been asleep before we left!) was a bit nerve wracking for me, but she, of course, dove right into playing with Lily, Sara, and Mike and had a great time. They said she did miss us some, but over all had a fun time playing in Lily's tent, coloring, dancing around and of course eating some of her favorites, mac n cheese and chicken nuggets! Thanks to the Checks again!

We had a fun time with Bill Cosby. He has such a natural ability and it was a great chance to get to laugh. I don't think anyone can tell jokes the way he can. :)

Well off now as Lorelei is done with breakfast. Enjoy!
