good weekend

all in all, it was a really good weekend. on friday night, we stayed over at my parents so e and i could have a modified date night. we rented hot tub time machine and ate bad-for-you food from 7-11 (mmm, slurpees and white cheddar popcorn). ami was in the kitchen baking biscotti and the kids were sleeping in their beds (belly upstairs, bulilit in the basement). i later hear that ami was pulling the biscotti out of her oven when she looks over and sees belly standing in the kitchen. she rushes over, asks her why she's up, picks her up and carries her back to bed. belly immediately falls back asleep. yeah. she totally sleep walks. and apparently well enough not to fall down the staircase in a dark hallway. weird.

at church this morning, to keep bulilit busy, i handed her some crayons and a notebook. i now have a steno pad full of blue and yellow lines on every. single. page. and no worries, a few of the chairs, one of the kneelers and a bit of the floor of the cry room at church is decorated the same way. i'm sure they'll appreciate that.

tonight, as we were getting the kids ready to go home, we saw the neighbors out playing in the cul de sac. these are the kids who, when belly saw them biking one afternoon, asked me if she could go with them. anyways, e and i got to talking with the mom, as belly played with the almost 5 year old girl and bulilit chased after the 2 year old boy. fun times. it's so suburbia, but definitely one of the things i'm looking forward to when we eventually move to my parents' house.
