This Weekend

Neely helped Jess fix one of our chairs. She said "Help?" and took her job very seriously.
She also made her tallest tower yet.
8 blocks, and almost had 9. She was really impressive, I didn't help at all. And when she was trying the 9th block, she'd slowly start to release it, and when it started to lean she held on again, carefully adjusted it a bit, and then tried to let go again. She did that like 3 times, but finally it fell before she could close her fingers on the block to adjust again.

I spent a lot of my weekend working on a few little projects for a certain baby on the way, and had to make a quick trip to Walmart for some little things I needed. I was going to go alone since it was going to be quick, but at the last minute I realized I could turn it into a date. I forget that dates with the kids don't have to be a movie or a meal at a restaurant. As long as we have a little time alone together it counts. So I grabbed my littlest fella and took him with me. Since there's a McDonalds in Walmart we got an ice cream first.

He's so funny when I get to really talk with him. He was just enjoying his ice cream and saying things like "What if someone thought this was THEIR ice cream so they kept trying to take it?" I told him we'd tell them they can buy their own at McDonalds. He goes "What if they keep trying?" So then since I could tell he was just being funny I shook my fist and said "I'd never let them! I'd say 'GET OUTTA HERE!" That was what he wanted to hear, he just smiled and kept eating his ice cream. Ha.
Right before bedtime on Saturday I realized we'd forgotten to do our outdoor time. At least not 15 minutes anyway. I wasn't about to mess it up now, so we got some blankets and went out front to look at the stars.
It was fun and we're still good on our goal.
