My dearest sister came to visit this weekend. My cousin, Brent, got home from his mission and my grandparents came over for his homecoming. Loren hitched a ride and I am so happy she did. We spent Saturday afternoon at the splash pad in Ancestor Square. I have always wanted to go but never had any one to go with. It is pretty fun and has lots of things for kids to do. Addi was tired and got grumpy towards the end but I think she will love going there, especially when she starts walking.
They recently have installed a carousel in Ancestor Square but sadly, it was closed for repairs while we where there. I sure we shall be returning for a ride.
Loren mentioned that she wanted to go buy a purse while she was here and I suggested that we just make one. She found this pattern and we started to figure out what we would need. My dearest Loren tried to be was too smart and figure out the area of the purse in order to figure out how many yards we needed. She did some calculations and determined we needed 23 yards! I started laughing and she decided she must have made an error in calculations. (Its ok Loren, I could not even tell how you how to begin to find the area of something) We went to the store, got some fabric and started sewing. The purse could be reversible and it was pretty easy to do. We did end up having a bit of extra fabric so she thinks she will try and make another one when she gets home.
The highlight of my weekend was Saturday night. My other cousin, Alan, went through the temple for the first time. Me and Will were planning on going to the session. We needed to make 2 batches of Cowboy cookies for the luncheon the next day. All of a sudden we were out of time. Dinner was still on the table, the kitchen was a mess, the cookies were not started and the baby was not in bed. I left Loren with the mess, the baby, my little cousin, a plea to make lots of cookies and no flour or brown sugar. After an especially good time in the temple I came home to a clean house, half of the cookies made, and a baby nicely sleeping in bed. I love Loren. Seriously. We spent the rest of the night finishing out the cookies, the purse and watching movies. It was so nive to have her around to help out and just to hang out with. I wish she lived nearer. I tried my best to convince her to come to college here but sadly it did not work.
Addi never plays with her toys for longer than four minutes. It is ridiculous. I was a tad bit stressed and frustrated at her one day so I nicely placed her behind the big recliner in the living room and her box of toys. She stayed there for over an hour. It was amazing. I still did not get much homework done because I kept peaking at her and watching her play. Her favorite thing is the get one of her books, lay back on the blankets and flip through the blankets. It is adorable. She really likes her little fort and crawls back there during the day many times.
