The Weekend

Well, we will start with Friday morning. We had the first of our Owatonna ECFE class first thing on Friday morning, which means getting up, getting dressed, eat & out the door. It was a good class. Isabel had a good time and the hour and 15 minutes flew by. So, I think that will be fun. Afterwards, we met a couple moms from playgroup at a (new to us) park. Even though we lived here before we never really had the reason to go to all these parks. She was so little that we only went to the one park in town, so now we get to explore all sorts of parks. When Isabel got up from her nap our friends (Elizabeth, Sofia, & Tommy) from WI came to visit us for the weekend. I made us a nice meal of veggie lasagna, spaghetti for the kids, garlic bread, wine for the parents, and steamed peas. That night my friend Carrie came over to hang out with us & laugh.

Pretty much all day Saturday it rained, which meant we pretty much stayed inside. We did get a chance to go outside and do some puddle jumping. Puddle Jumping is one of Isabel's favorite sports and she has become a pro ans seeking out the biggest puddles and getting the biggest splash. So, she had to introduce Sofia to this wonderful sport. Sofia loved it and they took home a pair of rainboots of Isabel's to borrow this next month until we see them again.

Saturday evening we went to Target and then to El Tequila for dinner. It is our favorite local place to dine. The girls were very intrigured by the pink drinks their mommies were drinking, so we had to get them their own in a kids cup. Once I had finished mine I had to pour the rest into my cup for her.
Here are a couple of pictures of our wonderful friends. All three kids were so nice and went down easily and earlier than their normal bedtimes, so us parents had time to chat and watched a movie (In the Land of Women) we had Tivo'ed . They left late this morning. We will get to see them again at the end of October when we go back for a visit.

Thanks for coming to visit us!
