Heart & Weekend = Filled!

I look forward to weekends more than anything lately. All the pregnancy complications I've been having means me not being able to take care of the girls. It kills me. So, Friday nights are very exciting, because it means they come home & we get 2 full days of fun, with hopefully minimal break downs!

This weekend, Sioux Falls had their first annual Family Fest. It was originally supposed to be in a park in town, but most of Sioux Falls was flooded Thursday & Friday, so it was moved to the parking lot at the arena. It probably would have been perfect at the park... shade & grass... the parking lot was extremely hot!

Samantha went on her first moonwalk. She wasn't really able to bounce a lot... couldn't get her balance... but had fun, none-the-less... so much fun, that when the time was up, her Daddy had to crawl in to get her out!

Maggie had a great time on the toddler bouncer. She screamed when we took her out of it... screamed so much, and for so long...

That she finally passed out!

After naptime, and lunch, we decided to play inside, since it was quite hot & humid outside.

Maggie found a comfortable spot and a book.

Samantha soon followed with her own spot and book.
"Mommy, Mantha read. Shhh!"

She calls herself Mantha.

Samantha was tickling Daddy in this picture.

Dog pile on Daddy!

Sunday, we did some grocery shopping, played at the mall, and then came home to use sidewalk chalk.

Their creation.

Our new van! We knew we needed a van... unfortunately the third row seating in our Envoy wouldn't work with car seats... so here is the newest addition to our familiy. Samantha asks if she can go riding in the van!

And the only picture of me, somewhat, that I'll share. Anyone have a craving for some sausage?

Tomorrow I have another ultrasound, so I'll get to "see" baby Gavin. Friday, Brandon and I are going to Omaha. He has a union stewards training... the union puts him & his "significant other" up in a swanky hotel, feeds us, and gives away door prizes. I'll miss not having a weekend with the girls... but will see them every night this week, as long as I'm feeling okay- *Fingers Crossed!* (Or in my case, sausages crossed!)
