So…this is a posting for last weekend….
It was a GREAT weekend. The sun FINALLY came out. OMG! It was so good to see it. Dad went out for a super long ride saturday a.m. and Fi and I decided to go run all of our errands so we could get them out of the way and enjoy the weekend. My mom had told me that she wanted to buy Fiona a “water table” (not to be confused with a highly controversial form of torture our current government endorses) so while we were out we made a stop at the (also highly controversial) Toy R’ Us to add to our growing pile of plastics we seem to be accumulating in our apparently-not-so-green home. Mom also found Fi a perfectly sized chair for our patio so when we got home we drug out the new chair and set up the new water table. Within 15 minutes of the chair being out fiona stood up in it…leaned against the back…and bammo…face first into the concrete.
Scraping the skin off her nose and lip and leaving a big old bruise on her forehead. Oh well…it’s broken in now…. (the chair and the forehead….) the Water table is a HUGE success and she played at it for hours and hours…really honestly….for hours it kept her entertained.
Later that day after her nap Ellie and Chris and Jackson came over for a BBQ. It was fun to have the kids together….it seems like it’s been forever that they’ve had a chance to play. Jackson taught Fi how to climb up on her slide by herself and fully mastered the technique of jumping off the slide instead of sliding down it…and just like that gone are the days of not having to worry every second if she’s outside and I have to run in for something…..
Bring on the summer!
