Busy Weekend

We had a very busy weekend. On Thursday, Aidan came for a sleepover. I had to work that night, so Rick had to put all 3 kids to bed. He had a little trouble, as Aidan wanted to sleep in Kaylee's bed with her. Kaylee has a toddler size bed, so they don't fit really well to sleep. But Rick decided to let Aidan sleep in Kaylee's bed with her, and to my suprise, they actually fell asleep squished in that little bed. I wish he would have taken a picture, cause it would have been so cute. Rick moved Aidan onto his own bed after he fell asleep. Aidan slept in Kaylee's room. On Friday morning, I woke up at 6:00 am to two little people giggling away. Aidan and Kaylee were awake and playing in her room. I don't usually like to wake up that early in the morning, but I couldn't help having a huge smile on my face listening to the two of them giggle and play. It brought back so many memories from when I was little and had sleepovers. Needless to say, we had a huge nap friday afternoon.

Friday night, Kaylee went for a sleepover at Kim and Chris'. MacKenzie went for a sleepover at Rick's Mom's house. When Rick was done work, we started working on our back yard. When we first moved in, we had really tall weeds. Our neighbors cut the grass for us, but never picked it up. So the wet grass sat there over winter (cause we moved in the late fall) which caused the grass to pretty much die. Last year, we requested to get our yard redone, and it never happened. So this year, we actually got it done. We had to haul dirt, and lay the sod. It only took about 3 hours to get it all done from start to finish. And now, it looks great. Rick added some of his decor touches out there, and I can't wait till it starts to really grow so we can enjoy it. It looks so soft and fluffy. I'll post some pictures in a day or two of what it looked like before, and after. I didn't take any before pics, but there are a few pics of the girls in the back yard where you can see how it looked.

So Saturday, Rick worked, and we had community cleanup where we live. I helped lay sod in another person's yard. After lunch, we got the girls back, went for supper at the community center, and then Heather came to babysit. Rick and I went out to Alley Cats and watched the UFC fight.

This morning, I dropped the girls off at my Mom's, and her and my sister took the girls to see Walking with the Dinosaurs. The girls just loved it!! MacKenzie has always loved dinosaurs, and has several of them. So I can almost imagine what it would have been like for her to see the show. Kaylee even enjoyed it, even though she isn't as into the dinosaurs as MacKenzie is. It just got at little loud at the end of the show for Kaylee. MacKenzie's favorite dinosaur was the T-rex.

While the girls we out this afternoon, Rick finished up a few things in the yard, and cleaned out the storage room. I had a few things to do, and then I pulled out my scrapbooking stuff and created this:

I started an album for MacKenzie a long time ago, and I was never happy with my first pages I created. So, I am starting at the beginning and redoing her album. This page is finished except for some journaling about what was happening in this picture. I was in labour, contractions were about 1-2 minutes apart. I needed to get an IV put in, so they were going to get the supplies they needed for that. Rick didn't look too happy in this pictures, because he isn't to fond of needles, not even for getting an IV. This pic was taken about 230-300 pm, on the day that MacKenzie was born.

Most of my hospital pictures with MacKenzie have so much blue and grey in them. And Blue is usually a boy's type of color, so I'm hoping with the next few pages I do, I can add some flowers or something to make it a little bit girly with all the blue.
