Friday night Lehr and the kids had a fire and hung around the house while I was out with friends. Eli LOVES having a fire in the fireplace. We haven't done marshmallows yet, but it's on the agenda for this week. Saturday morning was quite boring for the kids: we had errands, errands and more errands to run. We had several disobedience issues with Eli throughout the morning; he's going through a phase of let's-see-how-long-I-can-ignore-Mom-and-Dad's-instructions. Due to the amount of time outs on Saturday, hopefully he learned this is not a behavior that will continue in our house.
After naps we headed over to a friend's house for dinner. Eli and Maddux had not been to Ty's house in some time, so they were especially excited. The boys played pretty well together, and Maddie tagged along the whole time, trying to keep up with them. After dinner we went upstairs so Eli could see Tyler's new big boy bed. We are hoping to get one for Eli in the next few weeks, so it was fun for him to get hyped up about Ty's.
This morning we went to church and then to lunch with friends afterwards. Eli loved going to lunch with this family because their little girl, Faith, is his age. He sat next to her during the meal and even gave her a kiss on the cheek when we parted ways.
After naps it was back in the car to head over to Cooper and Finley's house. We got a few pictures of the kids together, but managing four smiles is not an easy task. My favorite part about tonight was how well the kids all played together. At one point the boys and Maddie were downstairs (visible from the kitchen where we were) playing. Eli and Coop were manning the train tracks while Maddux was working her way through toy bin. The closest thing I heard to an argument over anything was a civilized discussion about whose turn was next. I'm sure there will be battles over nothing and everything next time, but for now, life is good!
