Weekend Roundup

Friday night we had Thomas the Train Movie Night complete with Chinese food and brownies. YUM. The first part of that sentence was for the girls and the latter was mainly for Mom and Dad :).

Then on Saturday we went to the Discovery Center, which is always a ton of fun. Jessalyn and Greg met us there and it was great to hang out with them for the morning. Amelia and Elise loved the extra attention of course. They had a new magnet car track that Amelia loved racing cars on.

Ross got in on the action to test out the support on the arch bridge. And the girls tested out one less likely to give their mommy a heart attack.


Elise was also pretty fond of the gravity exhibit, but just for the ball :)
It was a great day and made me really grateful that Jessalyn has lived in Ozark this school year doing her externship. The girls have gotten really close to her and Ross and I have enjoyed having her so close. For a treat Amelia was supposed to get to eat lunch with them and we got to the restaurant (that I suggested) and it was out of business!! We were downtown, parallel parked, freezing and the place is closed down. Ahh. There was only sushi nearby and it would have taken a while to find another spot and we just opted to go home. It was very close to naptime anyway. Someone was super uspet by that decision...


Other than that little blip we had a great day :) Then Ross and I went on an interview dinner with an applicant to the Cox Residency and had a fun time out of the house. Thanks Mom and Dad for watching the girls!

Elise is having a little trouble in the nursery on Sundays, whereas she has done great up until now. She is reaching that age where she knows she doesn't want to go in and she knows she is about to be left. Sigh. Even though we have had her in since very early on, it hasn't seemed to help as she goes through this separation anxiety. Hopefully it will improve! Amelia is still loving her class and loving her teachers. We all know she wouldn't even GO in the nursery at Elise's age, so there is hope! Here she is all smiles.
