Alora's dreamcar. She was so excited to see a pink truck. I will pull this picture out when she is 16.
so excited for a date with mommy
Elijah's play date (with another little boy or the dog?)
Daddy does such an amazing job with the kids (except he put Alora in a trendy shirt that is long - he thought it was a dress) oooops.
I am starting to work consistently on Saturdays to keep the kids out of daycare an additional day. Steve has had the kids the last four Saturdays and has enjoyed his day alone with the kids. Alora is in a playgroup that meets for soccer practice every second Saturday. Steve is able to take the kids to the park with other parents to burn off some energy before naps. This Saturday he took them to a parade that his bank was in. The kids got to throw lollipops to the crowd. It was the highlight of their weekend!!
We are trying to be more consistent about having "dates" with the kids. This Saturday after work, I took Alora to see the Disney movie Up. I don't recommend it. We walked around downtown Hood River and did some window shopping and then went to our Oregon version of Chuckee Cheese and had pizza and played games. She is becoming such a big girl and it was the first time I realized that she is a big girl now who can shop, eat dinner, use the potty, and converse. I cherish the time with just one of my kids as it is impossible to lavish them with attention with the needs of the other constantly interferring. Steve took Elijah to a friends house where he was able to play with two other kids, two dogs, and a cat.
