Our Weekend

The boys love Fridays because they don't have homework and we all love Fridays because Greg sometimes gets to come home a little early!  Yeah for weekends!  On Saturday we had a relaxing morning at home.

 Rona, the house helper that I have found, came by to meet Greg and the boys.  We don't know yet when she is starting but I am happy to have found someone that I think will be a good fit with our family.  She is 26, speaks very good English, and at her last job worked for a family with 2 young boys.  She says that our boys remind her of them.  They left Manila and moved back to Germany where they were from. 

We played cards and read some more of The Magician's Nephew-actually the first book in the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe series by CS Lewis-this is a great read aloud series for kids-boys or girls.  Scott and Ryan seem to really be enjoying it.

Saturday afternoon we went to the mall closest to our house-across the street from one of the gates to our neighborhood.  We did some errands and tried a new place for dinner.  Kids eat free on the weekends-that was what attracted me to the restaurant.  It is called Italianni's and they food was great.  They had a tv that was showing cartoons and then soccer and the kids were glued to it-so it was an unusually quiet dinner for us.

We overslept on Sunday morning so we didn't go to church but enjoyed another day together at home and went swimming that afternoon.  Hope you all had a nice weekend too!
