From The Weekend

I haven't posted in a while just because I was too lazy to get the cord to connect my camera to my new computer. :-) Its really not that hard, just kind of annoying.

*****

On Friday Natalie had two friends come over after school, and both ended up spending the night. They played great (most of the time) and didn't bug Ethan too much!

Coloring and eating a snack.

After a few hours of coloring, playing house and Barbie's I made them a tent to play and sleep in. They spent the rest of the evening playing in there! It's wonderful how something as simple as a sheet can entertain them so much!

Posing for the camera.

Because Natalie had two friends to play with, I let Ethan play video games a little longer than I usually do. He had no complaints about it!!!
I started getting the girls to settle down around 9pm, then tucked them in at 10. I let them whisper and giggle for an hour or so before going in and shushing them repeatedly for the next hour. Finally, at midnight I had to move Natalie into Ethan's room just so they would get some sleep! Roby and I stayed up a bit longer watching movies, and I didn't hear the kids in the morning until 8:10. At noon I sent the girls home so we could eat lunch and do a few things before Ethan and Nat headed over to the neighbors house so Roby and I could go on a date. Sunday morning I found out that Ethan had thrown up at the neighbors house and really wasn't feeling well. They were both sick the rest of the day, and Natalie was yesterday too. Ethan went to school today only for me to pick him up at 1:45 because he wasn't feeling well again. (He threw up in a trash can as I was signing him out.) Natalie is now feeling a lot better and is excited to be able to go to her Valentine's Day party tomorrow at school. Ethan on the other hand has to stay home. I really hope this is the last round of sickness that we have in our house for a while!!! haha I know I'm funny.

Ethan's birthday is coming up here pretty quick! It seems to sneak up on me every year! He got his first present in the mail this weekend! He was extremely excited about it and can't wait to spend it! (I told him he had to wait until after his birthday to see if he gets any more so he can get something bigger.)

(Do you like my new Photo Shop skillz???!!! I didn't think the amount should be shown on here...)

Okay so the 2 girls sleepover/giggling til midnight fest....that's why part of me is hoping #3 is a boy! It's awesome that she has friends to do that with though.
I do like your photo shop skills! I agree it's best not to show the amount and think you did an excellent job replacing the bill with something else!

Sounds like a relatively fun weekend, excluding the sick kid part. Then you deal with sickness for a few days, that doesnt sound so fun at all. Ethan getting so dough for his birthday...cool again. Love the photoshop skills. That is awesome. Although at first I thought he was asking for money, LOL.
