My Fun Weekend

I had a pretty good weekend, not that I usually have bad ones, but this one was eventful, I guess. Saturday I got to go RS Souper Saturday and spend time with the RS sisters from my ward. That was a lot fun getting to know them better. I also made some fun things.

The top picture is of the birthday board I made. When it is actually finished, and is in use, it will be hanging on a wall and will have ribbon hanging from each month with the names and dates of the birthdays or other celebrations on little wood squares attached to the ribbon. I thought it turned out really cute for the most part. I am not quite done with it. When I am all done, I will put up another picture of the finished product.

The bottom picture is of the Oreo truffles we made. They were SOOOO good!! I used halloween inspired colored chocolates to decorate my little truffles. I don't really care how they look though, they are so good! Thanks Jenny.

After I got back from the RS activity, I sat down for about 45 minutes before we got ready to go to a halloween party. We were actually considering not going because we didn't have costumes. But we called our friend Eric and he said he would rather have us there with no costumes than not have us at all. So we loaded up the kids and headed over to Beaverton, our favorite part of town. It turns out that we were the only ones there, I guess no one else had costumes either. Oh well, they missed out. We ate lots of yummy food and spent time with Eric and Lorraine. They were dressed up as hippies. We had lots of fun, thanks Eric and Lorraine!

Sunday we were actually on time for church. We bathed the kids the night before and got up early and got everything ready before 9:45, we were both impressed. Squishy Girl actually let me do her hair! I was shocked that she let me. She got a little grumpy near the end but I was able to finish. Now for those of you who don't know, Squishy Girl throws a massive tantrum every time I even try to brush her hair. By the time I am done brushing it, I am so exhausted I don't even try to do any thing with it. Instead, I am trying to peel her off the floor because she has thrown herself on the floor screaming and throwing a fit. But it looked really cute and I was glad she let me do it.

Here are a couple pictures I tried to get of her hair. I wish I had a video of what she was doing in the middle picture. She was burping her baby. She would pat the babies back and every couple of seconds say "burp". It was so cute! The bottom picture isn't of her hair but it was a cute picture of her playing with her Grandpa.

This weekend I also had to take some cute pictures of my Fat Man. This one is my favorite. He was trying to crawl into the closet. There wasn't much room in there for him but he kept on trying. It was cute.

This weekend, Zac also wanted me to cut his hair. I HATE cutting his hair. I am so afraid that I am going to mess it up! But I did it anyway. We just used clippers so it wasn't too hard but Zac thought he remember which size he used last time but apparently he didn't because his hair is much shorter than it was last time. This is the before picture:

He was all scruffy and his hair was growing down over his ears.

And here he is after, with very short hair and no scruff.

And finally, I bought the car seat for Fat Man today. I got it from Costco online, free shipping which is always awesome! And I got it in the green, just like the one I posted on my blog last week. I am excited and hope it is everything I am thinking it will be. I also had to buy more diapers today. I buy them online because I get the best deal buying them online but I spent almost $87 on just diapers!! Isn't that crazy. Oh well, I am not doing the cloth thing so thats what I get, right?
