Busy, busy weekend

Friday afternoon we left for Rice Lake (about a 4 hour drive from Appleton). The kids were not too happy to sit in their car seats for 4 hours! They slept for about 1 hour and cried/screamed the rest of the trip! When we arrived at Grandpa & Grandma's the kids were very happy to get out and run around. They were up way past their bed time but still woke up early on Saturday morning.

Saturday we spent most of the day outside. Gavin enjoyed seeing the sheep and baby lambs, riding on the four wheeler with Dad and looking at Grandpa's tractor. Abby also liked seeing the sheep and baby lambs but was not too interested in the four wheeler or tractor! Daddy took the kids for a ride on the four wheeler around the yard and Abby wanted off right away! Gavin would ride all day if you would let him! In the afternoon I had a ThirtyOne party and my friend Emily brought her three kids over! Gavin and Abby loved playing with Jason, Breanna and Taylor!

Sunday we got up and had breakfast and then hit the road. We had to be in Green Bay in the afternoon for Pat's Grandma's 92nd birthday. The kids had fun playing outside and visiting with relatives until about 5:00 when the hit the wall and were ready to go home! We ate quickly and headed back home. Both kids were in bed by 6:30 and Mom was in bed at 7! It was a very fun but LONG weekend!

Weekend update

I finally attempted to give Gavin is first hair trim (I don't think you could call it a cut) I just needed to shorten the long wispy hair around his ears. He was not very cooperative so I have some touch ups that need to be done but it looks better than it did! Definitely have to get it fixed by picture day on Sunday! I will try to post a before and after picture in the near future!

Abby has pink eye and needs 1 drop in each eye 4 times daily. Now 1 drop doesn't sound too bad but anyone with a toddler knows how difficult it is to pry open a toddlers eye while holding the head still and getting that one drop to fall into the eye! Now she sees us grab the eye drop bottle and takes off running...only 7 very long days of drops left!

One exciting thing that happened this weeekend...we have battery-powered 4-wheelers for the kids and Gavin finally figured out how to put his feet up and push the power button all at the same time. He was just cruising through the yard yesterday. Abby has not quite put it all together yet but she is getting there. I personally think she just prefers mom to do the work for her and run beside her while pushing in the button and steering! This is very hard on the back!
