What a great weekend we had!!  Friday evening we went to the park and ran off some energy for a couple hours before heading home to have dinner.  The boys had the park to themselves which was nice.  They had their pick of whatever they wanted to do . . . and of course they did it all!!  They also managed to find the only mud puddle within a five mile radius of the park.  So, we headed home for dinner and bubble baths!  Friday night Austin's "Blessings":  "Chicken and BBQ Sauce and Milk and I guess spargagus (asparagus) too . . . even though I don't like it and I hid it all under my plate."  We actually thought he ate it until he let the cat out of the bag!  Never a dull moment

Saturday we did a couple of things around the house and went to the library.  Austin ran over to the puppet show booth and put on a puppet show.  He made me sit in a little chair and enjoy the show.  It was quite good.  He told me a story about a chipmunk.  He was very cute!  There is a lot of imagination in him and we definitely enjoy this all day long!  Austin and Colton met one of our neighbors a couple weeks ago.  His name is Harrison and he is two and a half.  Harrison and his mom came over Saturday evening and played toys at our hosue. . . Austin also gave a tour of the entire house so they would both know where everything is.  After Colton went to sleep Saturday night we watched a Little Einstein movie.  (Since Austin is doing such a good job potty training, he got to pick the movie out.)  We made popcorn and watched his movie.  It was a very exciting reward for him doing such a great job on the potty. 

Sunday we went to church and then came home and went on a walk.  We walked over to the UNI campus and walked through tunnels and got to go on the roof of the Union.  Austin thought both of these things were great. . . Colton just chilled in the stroller and wanted to nap!  We stopped to throw pinecones and rocks into the creek and then went home to have popsicles.  We got a lot done around the house and last night we had Jake, Sarah, Zoey and Charlee over for dinner.  The kiddos sat outside on the deck together and had dinner.  We played in the yard after dinner.  They all do a good job of playing together and each of them definitely knows how to hold their own when they want too!  We had to have a couple of "sharing" conversations with them before the night was over but they do enjoy running around together! 

Austin starts swim lessons tonight so we are all looking forward to a fun week!
