We started off Saturday doing a lot of housework. Felix played with Emma outside in the backyard while he mowed the lawn, cleaned up and fixed some odds & ends. Meanwhile, inside, Levi was napping and I packed up about 12 boxes of baby/kids clothes along with the baby items- swing, bouncy seat, exersaucer......and Felix brought them down to the basement (until next time!). Surprisingly, I only shed 1 tear while packing the clothes away- when I caught a glimpse of the dress Emma wore to meet Levi when he was born. Time is going way too quickly!
We enjoyed a nice family lunch together. Our little ham wanted to pose "sleeping" with her Daddy for the camera.
When did little Levi turn into such a tough guy?
We finished off the afternoon playing toys, building blocks, baking some (disgusting) cookies, putting together a floor puzzle mat of the world, and a first for mr.L- walking with his push toy!
We were all awake bright and early this morning, so we went to Babes Diner. I have driven past this place numerous times and it always looked a little sketchy from the outside to me. But, Felix ended up going there one day while waiting for our car to be repaired next door and said they had a menu page full of eggs benedict choices (my favorite)- so off we went for Mother's Day!
And what a pleasant surprise it was!!!! It was big, clean, and PACKED with people! The decor reminded me of the breakfast diner we went to while on vacation in Vero Beach. And the food was good, which is always a plus :)
Emma was completely entertained sitting next to the wall mirror.
We missed Felix while we were away the past few weeks- and I have been more than happy to let the kids get as much quality time together with him as they can!!!!! To be honest, I think I have probably changed less then 5 diapers this past week. Looks like it has been a long week for Felix though :)
After Levi's morning nap, we took advantage of the beautiful weather and went out to play in the park and enjoy a carousel ride.
Emma prefers to ride on the bench instead of the horse, especially on this carousel which is exceptionally fast. Levi was super excited for our turn and couldn't wait to get on.....
Emma....not so much. Before we even started moving, I stood up to get a picture and she freaked out and started crying out of fear I was leaving her alone on this scary ride!
Family photo :) .....Felix & I were both nauseaus by the end of the ride- it is even worse than the teacups at Disney!
