Long Weekend

Although the kids had Friday off, we didn't do anything exciting. Ethan had an awesome weekend. That sounds odd, but he was really good all weekend. There was very little talking back, whining, arguing, etc etc. He was super helpful, put his clothes away before I asked, taught Natalie how to ride her scooter! Fabulous! Natalie had a friend come over to play for a few hours on Friday, then another one of Saturday. Yesterday, while I was doing laundry and cleaning, the kids spent a good 2 1/2-3 hours in the basement riding their scooters and playing with the hockey net/basketball hoop. It was grand! They were able to get a bunch of pent up energy out without getting all muddy outside! The downside to this weekend is that Nat woke up with a fever an sore throat yesterday. When I looked down here throat with a flashlight I didn't see any white spots, so I have been giving her medicine and am keeping her home from school today. Other than that, we are just waiting for Roby to get back. I know he'll be gone less than two weeks total, but I still miss him! :-)
