Simple Weekend

Well, I'm apparently still being taught a lesson in patience, as I continue to have big "To Do" lists each weekend, and we are lucky to get half the things done...but one thing we did get partially done was getting more of the garage organized. We had one big box that was still sitting there to unpack, and in it was the beloved slide that has been missing for nearly a year now. And this was the highlight of the weekend. Makin would just laugh and squeal in delight after going down the slide. I think it helps he can land on grass instead of boards on the balcony...or maybe its just because he's a boy. :) They had lots of fun, although now it is more working on keeping them nice to each other while they try and share it. :) We were very thankful for something old keeping them entertained this weekend! :)

And the time change + donut and candy at church...well lets just say Brad and I got to have a lunch date as both kids took a nap asap after getting home from church. They had a very late lunch and Makin insisted on using a fork. Lately he is big on silverware and I guess its good to let him get used to using it. Just another thing to take away for a few weeks in January...but will just deal with that when it happens. Oh and of course, sour cream was a huge it. :)




And another highlight of the weekend was realizing Makin knows many body parts! :) I mean, we have known he understands pretty much everything we are saying, but it seems like a whole other moment when you say "mouth" and they point to their mouth, etc. So far we know he knows mouth, nose, eyes, ears, feet and tummy/belly. :) And boy is it hard to quiz him when big sister likes to distract. :) Oh well!
