What a weekend!

This weekend was so much fun!! Maybe it wasn't as much fun as I make it sound, but compared to last weekend it was gobbs of entertainment. FYI: Last weekend my family was all very sick and we spent the weekend either at the Dr. or in bed (well some of us were in bed) ;) . Anyway we got tired of sitting around so here are some of the things we did...

Binky Fairy:
I got this idea from Chelsea--thanks Chels, it worked great! We told Emily that since she was grown-up now she needed to get rid of her binkies for good. So we put them in a bag and the binky fairy came and took them away. In return the Binky fairy would leave her a prize. And since it happened to be really nice outside (at the time...uggh!) The Binky fairy brought her a new princess bike. She is still learning to ride it, but I sure summer will be alot of fun. I can't wait!


Bowling:
There is a bowling alley right by our house and it is for the most part really nice. It is smoke free so you don't leave feeling all stinky. Anyway we took our kids and they had alot of fun. Emily wanted to do it "All by myself" and at times we weren't sure whether the ball would make it to the pins, but lo and behold it always did. It was fun! Look at Emily's shoes...gotta love those bowling shoes.




Snow and more snow.....:
I am not a fan of the snow, mainly because I wanted spring to come. But what can we do other than just enoy the cold before we complain about the heat...right? So we built a family of Snowmen. Only Mom and Dad snowmen have noses but oh well. It was fun and they have lasted since it is what....7 degrees outside?

Binky fairy is such a cute idea - but I'm guessing that bike wasn't left under her pillow! Sorry you were all sick, glad you're better and enjoying the season :)
