Fun Weekend

Friday night Liesl slept the evening so I got a chance to pack some of her room up for the "Big Move" Jim and I got a chance to watch The Fantastic Mr Fox. I think he is Mr Fox. Thanks Heather for telling me about it. Good stuff.

Saturday, Swim class was in the morning. Liesl woke up early this week and we had french toast before class and took our time getting ready. It was a very nice change from the usual routine. Later, Oma Gabi, Grady and Grady's Momma and Grandma (Dee and Sandi) came to visit Liesl and I and Dee's new painting. It is always so nerve racking when someone sees my work. Please dont give me a "whatever" anyone. We decided to go for a wagon ride and out to lunch despite the cold. They had a good time sharing Liesl's Abbey and Ernie dolls in the wagon and treats and crayons in the restaurant.

Sunday, Heather, Gavin, Liesl and I decided to run over to Great Lakes Crossing for some "play place" time and lunch at the Rain-forest. Liesl was crazy wound up that the play place and was practically running in circles on the huge food. She loves crawling through the spilled pop, the corn on the cob and the watermelon slide. She aspired to climb the cupcake and be crowned "queen of the hill" but alas she was not yet tall enough for that. We stopped in the Bass Pro Shop for a gander at the fishtanks while waiting for a table at the Rain-forest cafe. They both enjoyed the big fishies in there and the large stuffed moose. In the Rain-forest, Liesl loved the Elephants and made me take her over there every 5 minutes. She was very good in there and sat in her booster and ate her mahi mahi......and yes...her "VOLCANO!" that we absolutely had to get. The kids fell asleep in the car finally at 4.....yeah wow. She slept for 2.5 hours. She woke up a little cranky still though just in time for Kiki and Sydney to come by and play for a little over an hour which was a lot of fun. Sydney is a little younger but not enough to make a difference. They were so cute. Sydney is a like a little clone of Kiki and Liesl of me so it was kinda funny. We topped off the evening with movie night finally at the Perry's house. It has been a long time. Crazy stuff has been happening. Please excuse our long absence from your screen Perrys.

Thanks to all the Babies and Babies Mommas and Grandmas for all the fun this weekend!
