Weekend Update

The kids are loving soccer. Reese has figured out that she's pretty fast and keeps up with the pack. Quincy would rather cheer and eat snacks from my bag than go to her own practice, but played in her first 3 on 3 scrimmage today and did great! Corbin just runs around on the grass kicking and carrying soccer balls and shouting, "Ball", "NoNoNo" (favorite word) and GO!"
Reese enjoying an extracurricular sport = awesome.

We stopped by the library after soccer, tonight, for "bedtime stories" because Reese's teacher, Mrs. Rogers was one of the readers. She dressed as Thing 1 and read Dr. Seuss books. Reese was so excited to see her teacher outside of school.

Her principal was also there. He dressed as a pirate and read Pirates Don't Change Diapers.

Teachers that volunteer at community events = awesome.

Reese went to a fancy birthday party for a little girl from school, on Saturday.

The party included a train ride at the outdoor mall

and a trip to Build a Bear! Since I don't particularly love stuffed animals, I've never taken my kids to Build a Bear. Reese loved it and is already asking when she can go back.

Little Reese. She is so tiny. She's only 2 months younger than the birthday girl (left of reese), and she's a full head shorter.

I finally bought a new wallet to replace the old one that fell apart.

I'm determined to find some shoes in the same color. Actually, I'm determined to find a lot of things in this same color. I love orange.

I'm borrowing Hip Hop Abs from my friend, Lara. It's not as effective as the P90X video I've been doing with my friend, Darcie, and I'm not crazy about some of the workouts, but the hips, buns, and thighs disc is great. The last 8 minutes are really what makes the video. It's a good little burn for the booty. It doesn't matter how many times or how often I do this workout, my butt is sore after every. single. time.

We began the hunt for a new laptop this weekend. We are both SO over viruses, and our current laptop dies about 20 times a day. It's super annoying. We might go with a Mac this time, but the thought of spending another 1100 on a laptopmakes me a little crazy. Anyone have a Macbook that they are totally in love with? Is it worth it? Convince me it's worth the extra cheddar.

LDS General Conference was this weekend.

We sat around in our jammies all weekend long and listened to counsel from living prophets of God. I printed some awesome packets from this website to help with the girls' attention spans. I know they can't understand all the words that were shared, but I want them to feel the Spirit that is present when the prophet speaks, and I want them to understand that Conference is important to us.

Great weekend!
