Our Almost Busy Weekend

This weekend was pretty good. Friday when I picked Gavin up he had already taken a nap so we ran some errands before we went home. 

I left the windows open on our drive back from Grandma's house... which is apparently as fun as going on a ride because he held his hands up like this the whole way.

 Our first stop was Michaels... the craft store. Gavin was so sweet. I told him I needed him to be my big helper. Sometimes if he thinks he's being my helper he listens to me and goes where I need him to a little better (I don't know why that is, but if it works.. it works). He insisted on carrying the basket which is almost as big as he is. He was so cute it would hold and almost drag the basket with one hand and reach out to hold my hand with the other. I really hope he wants to be so helpful when he's bigger. 

We went home for a minute and watched part of an episode of Sophia the First. I usually record the episodes so Brooklyn can watch them when she comes but for some reason I turned one on and me and Gavin snuggled and watched the show for a minute before it was time to leave to go get Daddy and Brooklyn. I turned the show off and we got in the car and Gavin said "Uh oh.. Sophia". It was so cute he was so worried. I told him it was okay that I had turned it off and he and Brooklyn could watch it later to which he said "Brookin watch Sophia". He says Sophia so well it's pretty funny. 

When we got home Brooklyn saw the stuff I hadn't put away from making mobiles with the Scouts earlier in the week and she wanted to make one too. She loves doing crafty things. 

Saturday was supposed to be a supper busy day. In the morning we wrote and decorated letters to Aunt Andrea who is on a mission in Montana. Brooklyn went to the Primary program practice and when she got home we got ready and ran an errand or two. 

After errands we headed to Baby Claire's birthday party. I can't believe that cutie is already one! This past year has really flown by. The kids had so much fun running around together... and there was pizza and cake and a sherbet drink what more could you need? It was such a fun birthday party. 

Grandma and the Birthday Girl!

Gavin was a bike thief... too bad his feet didn't reach the pedals.

Eating pizza and riding bikes at the same time is always a good idea.

Gavin and Baby Claire have almost the same sized hands. Something tells me Gavin is going to be a little guy.

On our way home from the party Brooklyn fell asleep. We had a very very early morning so I wasn't surprised when she fell asleep. She seemed alright when she got up in the morning but as the day went on she started to not feel so good. When we got home we were going to go to a neighborhood Halloween party but Brooklyn really wasn't feeling good and we thought it would be best if we stayed home so she could rest. Brooklyn was so disappointed but it was a good thing we stayed home. She got worse and you could really just tell she didn't feel good.

I'm not quite sure how this is comfortable.

Sunday morning, since Brooklyn was still feeling horrible we didn't make it to the Primary program. We were bummed she missed it but glad we went to her other Primary Program a few weeks ago.... so at least she got to be in one. We had also planned on going to Mimi and Grandpa's house for dinner but decided to postpone to another Sunday. 

Our busy weekend ended up not being quite as busy as we had planned. Last night Brooklyn seemed to be feeling a lot better so I think taking it easy and getting some extra rest paid off.
