Had a wonderful weekend! Our friend Lindy hooked all 8 of us up with Hotel and transportation down to Seattle for a girls weekend getaway! Had a great time hanging out with the gals and doing window shopping in down town Seattle. On our way home we hit the outlet mall and my composure diminished greatly : ) Got some Chrismas shopping done and some much needed time away to regroup and bond with my friends. Mike had the girls all weekend by himself. The girls are still raving about the pancakes he made for breakfast and the movie night they had with snacks and popcorn! I actually got o sleep in till 8:30 the last morning which is unheard of. Guess i am going to be making this a permanent trip!

Mike's mom Donna had gotten Erawyn a computer game awhile ago with Nemo the fish. At the time she was too little to play so we packed it up and kinda forgot about it. Out of the blue i pulled it out and was so pleased that Erawyn loved it! She picked up on moving the mouse cursor in about 15 min. She played all the games and when dad got home, he was so tickled he ate his dinner at the computer desk so he could watch all that she learned that day. For about half the time she was using her left hand-so we will see: ) I find it so amazing that the kids are developing so fast. I think this will be a more special time for mike and erawyn since they both LOVE the computer now!

We have been leaving the gate open for the ducks to wander during the day. They have stayed on our property eating bugs and weeds. They have been circling the house so we all run around inside the house to see what window we can see them out of. I wouldn't doubt if they start barking at cars coming in our driveway. It is kinda cool to have so much entertainment outside!
