Thursday night, I ran out to pick up milk and dinner, leaving Steven at my house with Connor, Adam, Luke, and Maggie. He sent me this photo of a Lego tower they made that reached all the way up to the ceiling. It was pretty impressive – almost as impressive as the fact that he got a picture with all four kids in it and three of them were even looking at the camera.
Friday morning, Luke and I took Adam to the bus stop.
Papa and Mabel went to Adam’s school that afternoon, so they could have lunch with him. Adam had been looking forward to it for weeks and was super excited for them to see his school and meet his friends and teacher.
We had two four-wheelers at our house over the weekend. Luke loved pretending to drive them and was thrilled when he actually got to go for a few rides around the house with Papa and Uncle Steve.
Maggie adores Connor (most of the time). She loved pushing him around in that little car.
Luke is a big Connor fan too (how can you not be?). He said, “I love my two babies”, referring to Mags and Connor.
Maggie received a lot of very nice presents for her birthday. She was so cute when she opened them. She’d say, “It’s…….it’s……it’s…..”, until she had removed enough paper to actually determine what was inside and tell us.
Adam got her a doll stroller and Dave’s parents gave her a baby Minnie Mouse. She pushed them around the driveway for at least half an hour Saturday night.
Our guests left this morning and this afternoon, the boys had a Lego Star Wars build at Toys R Us. They each got to make a spaceship and take it home with them. We ended up running in to one of Adam’s friends from school while we were there and they had fun building together.
Maggie had some birthday money to spend, so we picked up this Minnie Mouse play set for her while we were there. It’s a little purse, a phone, sunglasses, and some make up. She was so excited.
She started making calls as soon as we opened it up.
She’s a busy girl.
