Mother's Day Weekend

We had a fabulous weekend.  On Saturday, we woke up to find out that our big screen TV decided it served its time.  So we loaded up the girls and started our day at McDonald's for breakfast.  The big girls played in the Playland for a while and when they were done, we went TV shopping.  By the time we were done with that, it was nap time.  When they woke up from nap, we went to park #1 of the weekend.

Elli thoroughly enjoyed her first time in a swing.

After a good chunk of time at park #1 we came home and let the girls run around outside...one bonus to a fenced in backyard is that we left the patio door open and they could come in and out as they pleased!! Nate was outside working in the garage and I was inside tidying up, watching Elli, and getting ready for work.  We gave them a T-ball set to play with for the first time ever.  Not sure where they got the idea from, but they both grabbed a couple of Nate's old hats and put them on!!

Batter up!!!

Livi preferred to play umpire.

We're working on the swing - right now it's more of a karate chop.

Livi also chased down all the balls for Addi.

I actually had to work Saturday night from 5-11 so Nate was left to do bedtime routine by himself. And I'm happy to announce that he survived and it went quite smoothly!!

Sunday morning Nate took Addi for an hour long walk! He took her trike with him so she could either walk or ride. And when he came home, he took Livi to Menards to get a few things for the yard. Once they were home from that excursion, we took the girls to park #2. The fun ended when it was time for nap. And once they woke up, we took them to park #3!!

Beautiful.

They had to go down the tallest slide they could find!

Weeee!!  Having fun at the 3rd and final park.

Last but not least, we ended the day with a picture of mommy and her girls.  We all look a bit disheveled from playing at 2 parks that day, but I don't mind at all.  We had fun...and that's all that matters.  But this picture is so typical.  Livi isn't paying any attention whatsoever.  And Addi is so bored she's jamming a finger in her mouth.  Oh well.
