Another fun weekend!

Friday I took the day off from work so that I could go have lunch at school with Meikiina. She was so excited all week waiting for me to come have lunch with her. She told me more than once that she told everyone in school that I was coming to have lunch with her. Her teacher even told me by email that Meikiina is very excited. I was excited too. After lunch Brynlee and I got to go see her room and her desk. Her desk was so organized and neat! :-) It was so much fun!

Friday evening there was a ladies evening for my sister siblings at a sister's house. Meikiina is very hard to leave so she came with me and we stayed very late. We didn't get home til about 1:00 a.m. Meikiina did sleep in the next morning, but I know that does not make up for a late night. She so needs to get to bed at a decent time in the evening.

On Saturday we had to go grocery shopping and both girls were so good the whole time. We were in the store a long time! We got home just late enough that Brynlee missed her nap, and that ended up being not a good thing. It was such a beautiful day that I decided instead of putting her for a late nap we would go for a walk / bike ride. We have really nice walking paths that we use a lot. Usually I walk and the girls ride bike. At a certain point Brynlee decided she had ridden far enough and she stopped her bike and told me she wasn't going any further. I just kept walking down the path to see what she would do. She just wouldn't go. I had to stop and really work to get her to keep on going. Now Meikiina ~ she will bike for miles and miles without stopping, and has done that since she first got her first bike. I wonder how far she would go if I just let her go until she was ready to stop.

In the evening we went to see my sister Gina, and her new baby. I had been promising the girls we would go see their new cousin and that was when it worked this weekend. The evening ended up being pretty tough because both girls were tired from messed up sleep schedules. They were at each other all evening. :-( They both fell asleep in the car and got put straight into their beds to sleep the night through.

We hadn't had enough yet, so Sunday morning off we went to the fire station for the annual get together they have there for fire prevention month. I did wonder if I was crazy to go again. The girls were very good there again though, and we all had a very good time. We got to have snacks and got to see the whole fire station, which is recently remodeled. It is very nice. The girls got to pick out pumpkins and we got to see in a helicopter. I think the most exciting for the girls was that they got to ride in a fire engine with the sirens blaring and the lights flashing. They both enjoyed that.

Now we will have to see how we get through the week after such a busy fun weekend.
