Is the weekend already over?

Wow it went by fast. It didn't help that we lost an hour with daylight savings. It was nice and I actually got a lot done. Cleaning that is. I spent pretty much the whole weekend in my PJ's cleaning. It was funny on Saturday morning when we woke up as I was fixing breakfast Emily asked the questions she ask pretty much every morning. Which is " What are we going to do today mom?" I told her we needed to clean. So she goes off and then a few minutes later she comes running in the kitchen and says mom come here. I am thinking ok, what did she do? So I follow her to her room and she says see. She had cleaned her room (for the first time ever by herself) and even made her bed for the first time ever.



Not too bad of a job either. And for those who know me well, yes it killed me that it wasn't the way I make it, but I did actually leave it because I was so proud of her for doing it. So she runs to go get Dylan to show him what she has done. The next thing I know Dylan comes running into the kitchen and says "Mom, come look!" I go into his room and he has done the same.









Not bad, got two beds made and I didn't have to do either of them. Of course Emily pipes up and says well I helped him because he didn't know how to do it. So I hear the two of them talking about JT, who by this time was already outside playing, and the next thing I know they go and make his bed too.












Aren't they cute. It was very nice having all three of their beds made. They did such a good job.












Today they went to Popsy and Mimi's house and made this cute Easter house. It was a kit and they glued it all together and put glitter all over it.











JT spent most of the weekend outside. Today I caught him blowing paint balls towards Uncle Tysons new storage thing he is building for his boat. We had got him this blow paintball gun. I think he was having a little too much fun with it.







Todd's cousin Lana and her boys came in today to visit with her dad (who lives across from us). So the kids went over there to play with their cousins. Was great seeing them as we don't get to see them often. After Aunt Mary Alice beat JT at a game of basketball (they played cow) they all played dodge ball. They were so cute to watch, but bad me as I didn't take me camera outside. Not long after we came back home Grandma showed up to visit for awhile. Emily convinced her that she needed to play Twister.




Dylan was the first one out and then Emily fell next. So Grandma won!










After a fun day of playing we finished off the weekend by grilling hamburgers. The kids wanted to eat outside, but was a bit windy so we put their little table in the garage.

Hope everyone else had a great weekend too! Sure wish they lasted longer though.
