Friday was spent at the mall with my friend Erin and her 2 adorable kids, Ryan (4) & Olivia who is 11 days older than Hudson. Ryan just got those wheelie shoes & wanted to go skate at the mall. We had a great time. Our mall has an indoor play area. The kids had a blast & I even managed to only spend money on lunch.
Brandon had Saturday off (yeah!) so first thing in the morning he took Connor to church to help take down the live nativity. I love that Brandon takes Connor to do this kind of stuff. All of the adults give Connor little projects so he can help. This time he got to put away all of the nuts, bolts & screws. He was so excited. When they put up the nativity in December Connor got to help. Every time I dropped him of at school ( he goes to the school at our church) he said "I made that", when he passed the nativity.
After the work was done it was time to play. We met up with Erin, her husband & kids & our old next door neighbor Katina & her kids at a local indoor play center. We all had a blast. Brandon & Brett kept the big kids busy on the bounce houses while us ladies stayed in the baby section with Hudson & Olivia. We had so much fun. Next stop was the stride rite outlet to pick up shoes for Connor's super fast growing feet. The outlet sells the same shoes as the store for 1/2 the price. Connor has been wearing the same style since he learned how to walk. He just keeps getting new ones. He never gives us any grief when it is time for new shoes. We do not believe in buying shoes with characters on them. I was so glad to find the ones I did. The are going to discontinue them next year, so I bought the next size up as well.
Sunday was pretty typical for us. Church, Sunday School, lunch, naps & a visit from Brandon's parents. The only thing different is we went & got Connor a new big boy bed. He was in a toddler bed & then a twin mattress on the floor. Now he is in a twin bed & he thinks it is pretty cool! I actually got him to stay still for 2 seconds to take a picture of us together. The new camera should be here Wednesday!
