The weekend in revue

We shipped the girls off to my parents on Saturday so Charles and I could celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary (it was actually yesterday but oh well). Logan was rearing to go at 7:30 that morning, I had to convince her to let Bubee and Zada sleep a little longer. When we did finally get there she immediately asked me when I was leaving...just as soon as I remove the dagger from my heart!

So Charles and I saw Superbad...which was moderately bad...some funny parts but a little too many sexual references for my taste (yes, I know I'm prudish). Dinner was the Melting Pot, good food, good wine (gasp...Bridget, you drank?!?!? Yes I did and well, hockey practice sucked the next day) and great company.

We went to Beth and Mat's house on Sunday (my cousin and her hubby). Christopher is home from a three week trip to Bejing. Other than losing or being mugged of his wallet in Shanghai he said it was a good trip. We haven't seen him since Christmas as trips from Oregon aren't cheap. The girls played in the pool, Logan swam without hesitation in a pool she couldn't reach the bottom in...yey her! Then they played princess wiffleball, it was great to see them running around in fairy dresses playing in the dirt.

Yesterday we ended up at our friends, Adam, Erica, Julia and Elise, house. The girls as usual had a great time playing but of course leaving was hard. But today was a school day for all 4 girls and so it was necessary to say goodbye early. Sometimes I feel bad that we don't let the girls stay up as late as most children, but as Logan fell asleep in the car on the way home from school today I remember why we don't.

Logan started Chinese today, she was excited but I'm not sure how much she got out of it other than how to say hello (which she already knew). The worksheet she brought home has the Chinese words written out phonetically but I know that how it looks to us in English may not be how it is actually pronounced...guess we'll have to ask Christopher! She practiced writing a "story" today, did several math worksheets and worked on writing her name (sometimes her "A"s don't look great) she was very proud of all the hard work she is doing..we are too!
