Laid-back Weekend


We've had a quiet and relaxing holiday weekend. I took off on Friday for their Kindergarten Rodeo - so I've had a great 4 day weekend. The boys enjoyed watching a Saturday morning cartoon - The Magic School Bus and then spent most of the day playing before they had a birthday party to go to that night. Sunday was spent playing around the house and then the boys and I watched a Harry Potter movie together. Today, we went to the Lego store to use their Lego giftcards from Papa and Grandma and then came home to build their new Lego sets.

The boys created a new game using a construction set - I'm not sure of the rules but they taught Greg how to play the game today.

Ryan and Luke put most of their Lego sets together by themselves. Luke spent almost all day putting together his 400 piece Police semi-truck set - with a little guidance from us (he does a great job by himself, but he does tend to skip a few steps every now and then). Ryan put together a 100 piece airplane set by himself and we'll put together his larger set next weekend.

Ryan also enjoyed playing with his new Hex-bug robot from Aunt Conny and family.

And Luke decided to create a football team complete with uniforms.

Overall, we had a great weekend and we're looking forward to a short 4 day school week.

Lastly - one last picture from their Rodeo day - Ryan is such a poser.
