Family Weekend

This weekend was great! We had very few plans outside of spending good family time together! We were able to start all the fun on Friday since Matt had off work! We spent a couple hours playing with Sammie while Daniel took his morning nap. We played Duck, duck, goose and London Bridge. After lunch we went to see the movie Ratatouille. Neither of the kids enjoyed the beginning of it. Daniel cried everytime there was a loud noise and Sammie held her hands over her eyes until I gave her some candy to eat. After the first fifteen minutes, they did great! When we returned home, we filled up the pool and watched the kids splash to their hearts' content!

On Saturday, Sammie got a new bed that our friends Barbara and Nick generously gave her. She loves it! After lunch, we spent some time in the pool. The kids loved it! Sammie helped Mommie get Daddy wet with the squirt toys and then they took revenge on me and got me quite wet too! Saturday night we rented some movies. Matt and I watched Friday Night Lights. Have you seen it? What did you think? From what I saw of it between my snoozes, it wasn't really that exciting. What good came out of it? They lost!
Then there was Sunday...of course, we attended church, and then Matt had his last meeting for his trip to Moldova this week. After lunch the kids and I took naps! Sammie's first nap in a week! Thank goodness! She's been wearing me out! Then off to church again for the evening service and a tailgate party afterwards! It was fun! They did a really nice job with all the food and games they had! Could not have asked for nicer weather either!
Here are a couple of pics of the kids from this weekend!
It's not a clear Pic but I love the expression!
