A Weekend of Firsts

We had a fun weekend last weekend. We're still not over our colds, but we're feeling better and needed to do something fun. Saturday Calvin had to work, so it was just me and the girls. We did grocery shopping and a few other errands, then headed over to the mall and played at the play place. Jocelyn is finally not scared to play with other kids, so she had fun crawling thru tunnels and thought it was neat that Kailee was there with her. They both did so well while out and about that we had McDonald's for lunch. It was Jocelyn's first Happy Meal! She loved the fries, and ate some of the cheeseburger.

She thinks it's pretty neat if I give her a whole of anything - she feels like a big girl, I think.Saturday wasn't too cold so we went outside for a bit and went down the slide and played fetch with Ellie. She HATES wearing mittens and cries whenever I put them on. She did leave the other one on after I scolded her, but she was not happy about it.Kailee didn't have school on Monday, so we decided to take a 'staycation' on Sunday night at our local Holiday Inn Express for a fun evening of swimming and pizza!It was her first time swimming, and she did really well! She wanted to drink the water, but wasn't scared at all, and liked to swim on her tummy. We went swimming right away on Sunday evening when we got there, but only went for a bit because the Vikings were on! (and we were hungry) Watching the sad game. Jocelyn is pointing out her barrette. She's very proud of it...she even points it out to strangers at Target.

Monday morning Calvin and the girls went swimming again




What a fun time! Let's do this again soon!

So cute! What a great idea to get away for a night and go swimming! But that wasn't Jocelyn's first time swimming, I remember her in the pool in Mexico last year! Don't you wish we were back? I'm jealous that she leaves her barrette in, Kenzie thinks she's pretty funny when she yanks them out. And no matter if hair comes out with it! Have a good week!
