We had a great weekend! We played so much... Christian is wearing his shoes (sandals) all of the time now (when we go out that is!). He is walking so nicely in them... What a big boy!

Luis, Christian and Mommy went on some errands on Saturday morning so that Daddy could have some much-needed quiet time to do some work (YUCK-we never want to work on the weekend!). We went to the car wash!!! Luisy LOVES the car wash. The one that we visit has the viewing window inside with steps up to the window for little ones... We got to watch LOTS of cars and trucks go through since we were getting our oil changed too!

Christian actually slept the entire time (from before we arrived at the car wash) that were were there... Mommy carried him sleeping into the waiting area and got him all settled in the stroller for a nap - he only woke up as we were leaving to go to Home Depot.

Shopping was fun, we got a new hedge trimmer... Mommy showed Luisy how to use it - he is a little afraid, but very curious. Mommy and daddy can't wait until Luisy and Christian are old enough to help out with yard work!

We didn't bake or cook anything super fun this weekend, but we did eat lots of watermelon - reminded us of our vacation.

We did get new books - Mommy brought us Chicka Chicka Boom Boom (an ABC book) for Luisy, and you should hear him sing the song!!! - and a new Elmo Loves Babies book for Mr. Christian! We also got a new dump truck/construction trucks photo book... we still can't get enough of those big trucks!

Well, its obviously late - and we are actually sleeping... mommy really writes this, don't tell anybody! Christian dozed off tonight around 7:40 (after dutifully tossing all of his stuffed animals and blankets out of his crib), and Luisy fell into dream land around 9:00 (after putting up a very good fight with the Sand Man)... Daddy is also sleeping now... we lost him after hours of work on his presentation for tomorrow... poor daddy.

Luisy's quote, "Mommy, can I pull your pony tail a little?" Luisy loves to pull (gently of course) on mommy's pony tail and sing, "this is the way we wash our hands..." as he wiggles his fingers through the pony tail.

Christian's quote, "Cisstanbuoy," - Christian goes by the name Christian Boy here at home... and he started repeating it over the weekend... he also says it whenever someone starts eating something and he wants a piece!!!!
