Columbus Day Weekend






It's been a great long weekend. Still haven't quite tackled all of the things I wanted to accomplish, but unfortunately in this family, that's usually the case. Kevin mowed the lawn, we got the AC's out of the windows, the pile of laundry is much smaller, etc.

But, we had a great weekend with the girls. Lots of great moments with Morgan...including lunch and a movie with both Mommy and Daddy. A nice pre-birthday treat. We went to the new Legacy Place movie theater which was so great...it's so nice...we saw "Chichen Meatballs" otherwise known to most, as "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs." It really was a great kids movie.

We also carved what I would like to call, a beautfiul haunted house pumpkin, of which we have included some picts. And we baked Morgan's cupcakes for school. Frosting will most likely happen tomorrow, but at least they're baked. Morgan was able to sample one, and gave the thumbs up. It took all the will in the world not to have one...I suffered with a weight watchers chocolate chip cookie instead. They really can't compare. I'm saving my points for birthday cake..I've already calculated how many points a piece of cake is...6 points. Do you think that could include ice cream with it?! Ha, Ha!

Morgan was showing me today her "tree" pose (from yoga on the wii). She also does nice hula hoop motions, as well as her Irish Step Dancing. She cannot get enough. She puts on her black patent leather shoes and dances all over the house. We don't have enough music to keep her going...she's like the IRISH STEP DANCING ENERGIZER BUNNY!!

Maddie has had a bit of a "rough" weekend. Daddy wasn't quite aware of her schedule and the fact that she is no longer allowed to fall asleep to the bottle (where has he been?!!!), so he tried to do that Sat and Sun., and then got the clue that this just can't happen anymore. Once I helped him get to know her schedule, she seems back on track today, though she's had an on/off low grade fever all weekend, and super red cheeks. I can't feel any teeth through yet, but I'm hoping that's the culprit. She has a bit of a cough/congestion in her chest/throat, but seems happy, so I'm hoping it will soon pass. She still sleeps like "sleeping beauty" so no complaints here!
