A Relaxing Weekend

I was in such a hurry to get Faith's birthday that I skipped over some sweet photos from the weekend before! We had a super low-key weekend: we had care group on Friday night; a party on Saturday; and lunch with friends on Sunday! But other than that, we were free as birds, and we enjoyed a lot of play time together as a family.

The girls created a bed with a lot of pillows and blankets next to their closet door!

The home made "bed" with little legs and feet dangling off the end!

Saturday morning, we had swim lessons for Faith, and then we went to a birthday party for one of our friends.  On our way home from the party, we discovered that there was a garage sale going on in the neighborhood close to our house!    The little boy who sold the K'nex set to us said he wasn't certain all the pieces were there, so he was selling it for only $3. It seemed like a bargain to me and we bought it! 

The girls were so excited about creating our ferris wheel, that we got to work almost immediately when we got home! 

Our future engineer little girls, Faith and Jillian.

Piece by piece (which all ended up being there...Woohoo)...

and step by step...

and 3 hours later,

we created our own little masterpiece! 

Jillian was blown away by our creation!

Then a couple more hours were spent in front of our ferris wheel...

enjoying the music, play people, and fun! 

On Sunday, we had lunch with our very first friends from D.C.!  We (our family, Carol & Julia- the boys and Todd are not pictured) enjoyed a wonderful time at California Pizza Kitchen together.

Then we came home to play baby dolls.

Then, later on, Jillian and Faith helped me create some pretty math pumpkin punches for school time!

Anna had fun riding the horsey, Faith! 

It was a happy, relaxing weekend at home.
