Weekend visit!

My Mom and my niece Kennedi came to see us this weekend! My brother Mark brought them to Prescott (an hour away) and I drove up there, picked them up and brought them back. (Side note...on the way there, Rebecca said, "I want to be a horse-rider when I grow up. And not a mom." When I acted shocked and asked why not a mom, she said, "Well, maybe later. Or maybe I'll just be a teenager.") Kennedi is a year older than Jessica, and all 4 girls played hard together all weekend, jumping on the trampoline and riding bikes and lots of girl stuff. After supper Friday night they played Life while I beat Mom and Mike at Phase 10. :) At bedtime they slept all over the living/family room, and I was going around giving hugs and kisses. When I got to Rebecca, she whispered, "Do Kennedi next...and tickle her as well!" So of course I did. She's so funny.
Saturday morning Mom and I went shopping in the town square, and that afternoon the girls decorated Valentine cookies. Rebecca put a pink blob in the middle of one, and I asked her, in my best kindergarten teacher way, to "tell me about this." She said, "Well, that's in case someone sins. Now I'm putting bad sprinkles on it." I have no idea what that means!!





Later that afternoon, Rebecca and I rode our bikes around the block, by her rules.
1. I was not to get in front of her.
2. She had to be able to see me.
3. It's a race.
Hmm.
That night we watched "Sarah, Plain and Tall" on TV. The girls just finished reading the book in school, and kept critiquing the movie for how it fell short. We kept telling them the book is ALWAYS better than the movie.
This morning we went to church, except Mom, because her eye isn't completely healed yet and she feels insecure. We lazed around this afternoon, and then Mom's friend Suzanne took them home. I'm so glad we live close enough to have weekends together!
