Weekend

It was so hot out this weekend, so we found some entertainment for the kids inside. On Saturday we went to Peter Piper Pizza for lunch. I was kinda dreading going because it is always so busy but we received a pleasant surprise when we walked in there were only a few other people there.

The kids had a lot of fun playing all the games & getting tickets.


On Sunday I was needing the kids to burn off some energy in the evening...you know I was desperate because I took them to McDonald's play area. I feel like I am asking the kids to get sick by being there...but they love it (and i guess that is what matters :)).

Since Isabelle has turned 1, we let her have some treats every once in awhile. Last night she scored by getting some ice cream...which she loved!

This is her after I cut her off and she still wanted more.

The other kids enjoyed the ice cream as well...every last drip.

After McDonald's Mark played "star wars" with Dylan at home.


I come in the room to find this set up along with a bunch of bungee cords suspending things in the air. This shows a big difference of how boys & girls play, I never would have thought to do this.
When Dylan first started imagination play years ago I would always get annoyed because he would always be zapping me or something like that. One day Mark came home and Dylan was doing it to him so he puts his hands over his heads and pretends like he is making a shield around him with sound effects and all. That is all it took for Dylan to leave him alone. I looked at him and said, "really that's all it took?". Again something I would never have thought of to do because I didn't grow up playing with boys.
Isabelle was exhausted and this is how she fell asleep last night.
