Tuesday we started out with having a babysitter here and I sifted through Novemeber and December photos-editing, organizing electronically, getting uploaded to print (clarkphoto.com has 4cent prints right now until 1/3/2010) and I even put together a two page layout that was in kit form and completed another two pages in our family album.
Then we headed to IKEA to get two shelves for our bookcase and a new hinge for the TV cabinet that the children (esp Henri) seems to think is a jungle gym. Kids also eat free this week at IKEA, which is why we were there almost 2 hours just to get 2 shelves and new drinking glasses. (we're down to about 4 big, 4 small).
Then we went to Bonney Lake to visit a friend and her kids (including 3 month old baby) while they were in town from Michigan, then to my see my grandparents' new place in Tacoma. It's quite nice, though they are having a hard time making friends because they are more active than most of the other residents. Carter was going to show Grandma how to play Wii, because they have open sessions, but we were too late, so he showed her how to play Pokemon instead. Grandpa taught Henri how to eat soup without getting it everywhere for which I am very grateful...
We were going to try to hit Zoolights, but because we were running late and tired by this time, Carter made the executive decision to hang out with Grandma & Grandpa until 9pm, then we got in pajamas and headed home. All 3 were wide awake when we arrived home. Sigh.
Wednesday we went to visit Carter's friend from preschool and see their new house in Issaquah! Then we headed back home to see our friend's 2 month old baby while they were in town from Indiana.
Last night I put the kids to bed, then Paul and I ignored the shuffling while we watched a movie and came upstairs to this surprise in our bed...
