Canche Chronicles: Friday-Saturday

FRIDAY was a pretty low key day. David had to work and left really early and the girls and I got up and took our time getting ready. We were meeting the Caldwells at a kid's educational store down the road because every Tuesday and Friday they have a story time followed by a craft time. This week's book was the Hungry Hungry Caterpillar and the craft was to paint a caterpillar using potatoes. Haley listened really well during the story but I think Emily was even more captivated, I should take time to read to Emy more, she was really into it. After the story Haley made her caterpillar craft and then spent a while playing with the toys in the store before we headed out. We got home and I started on lunch while we waited for a lady to come and pick up a big screen TV she bought from us online. It was a huge TV but pretty old we think. Anyways, David liked to say, 'at least I can say I owned a big screen tv at one point, haha.'

The girls went down for naps and while they were sleeping David got home. When they woke up we met the Caldwells at the splash pad. David and Ben followed the girls around and Amanda and I stayed with Emy and talked. Emy likes to sit at one of the smaller little fountains and hit the water. Her only problem was anytime the water stopped she would crawl up to where it comes out and start playing with it and she always ended up getting splashed in the face.

After a while the kids started to get hungry so we all decided to have dinner at Five Guys, a burger place that originated up north and has made it's way to Texas. The burgers were good and they give you tons of fries so we ended up even taking some of those home. Haley's favorite part was the peanuts. They have them in a box on the counter and Haley ate tons of those which was great unless you were the one shelling them for her, haha.

The Caldwells gave us the next Star Wars movie so we put that in after we had gotten home and put the girls to bed. David fell asleep during it, haha. I guess we can officially say he's not a huge fan.

SATURDAY we all slept in for a little bit and then went to the gym. David and I ran while the girls played in childcare. Well, Emily played but Haley probably sat the whole time and watched a movie. After the gym we came home and played. The girls were acting kind of cranky so I put them down for a nap around 12:30, about an hour earlier than usual. They both went right to sleep so I guess that was a good decision. David went to the Caldwells to help paint their new baby room. Once the girls woke up I packed them up and we also went. I helped watch the kids so Amanda could help with the painting. They watched Toy Story. Haley laughs super loud and obnoxiously at any point that is remotely funny. Usually it is during the slapstick humor parts, like when somebody falls or something. By the time they were finished painting it was time for dinner so we invited them to come over and have hotdogs and brats with us. I came home first with the girls and ran by Wal-mart to pick up hotdogs and buns. Haley was excited to see Evelyn and Lucy again, we had to pull them away from toys to come eat. Haley and Emily ate two hotdogs between them! Well, Emily dropped a lot of pieces in her chair but she attempted to eat a lot. The Caldwells headed out soon after dinner and we let Haley and Emily stay up and play a bit before putting them down. They were both tired and went down right away.

Haleyism:

Haley loves to describe everything that Emy does. "Look, Emy is crawling. Look, Emy is saying da-da, look Emy is crying."

Emilyism:

David and I think that Emy's favorite person is probably Haley.

More fun on Haley's bed
