Catching up............................

I can't believe tomorrow is already Friday!! Today has been one week since Faith started Kindergarten! My sister and Erika (her foster daughter) left on Monday so I have been busy trying to get caught up on house work, laundry, appointments, phone calls, school papers..........I let EVERYTHING go while my sister was here to enjoy every minute of her visit!! We had a fun filled week and ate way too much!! We ate out a lot....more than what we're use to, but it was nice not to worry about cooking so much!:) We took the kids to Six Flags amusement park one day and spent the entire day there. Celebrated the day before school starting at Chucke Cheese. Did some shopping, ate out, shopped, ate out.......................
Dale and I actually had a date night and went to see a movie! (Saw The Dark Knight. Dale is a huge Batman fan and he had really been wanting to see it. Although not my type of movie I actually enjoyed seeing the acting in it (not the violence!) and it was fun just getting out!) The boys made Aunt Teri sit and watch a Star Wars movie once the girls were asleep. (Good sport Aunt Teri!)
We spent the day Saturday at the beach and on Sunday night my sister and I went to see Mama Mia! Fun movie!!! :)
The girls had fun together and kept us on our toes. They definitely had their moments:O This was Faith's first experience with having someone younger than her staying with us for a long period of time and for the most part she did great with sharing and getting along. We did see the tattling and whining come out though too! I got many visions of reality on what it would be like with having another one;)!!!!
I didn't take too many pictures as I didn't want to be worrying about the camera during our visit (now of course I regret it and wished I had!) The next couple of posts will just be catching up from the wonderful week we had!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Faith helping me lick some brownie batter, Heemmmmm I mean bake some brownies for Aunt Teri before her arrival!

The girls!

The boys with their Aunt Teri and Oreo too! Oreo the guinea pig was Dean's birthday present from Aunt Teri at her last years visit. She is a year old now and just the sweetest guinea!
