wednesday is the new monday

Okay so I know that last week I posted a blog called "thursday is monday" but now that Carl's days off have changed to Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday is now Monday in our family. So Carl is back to work today and our week begins. We ended our "weekend" last night by meeting Danielle, Jeff, Cambelle and Chloe for dinner at 99. All four girls were a bit, what's the word...loud I guess? Once Camryn fell asleep and the food came, we weren't drawing as much attention (I swear beforehand though that everyone was taking a peek at our table). It was great to get together though. And dinner ended nicely when Emily, out of her seat and standing next to me in the booth, decided to drop a bowl on someone in the next booth. Fun!

Now onto some highlights from the last few days...

The Presidential election. Connor has been very interested and voted with both Carl and I. He wanted to know all day yesterday who was winning and when we got home from dinner, he asked if we could check the t.v. for the results. He was pretty excited about the outcome. So with Dad's help, he put together his USA puzzle map as he watched the election coverage before bed (he took out all of the states that McCain won).

Connor wanted to play pirates tonight so I made him an eye patch and he drew the treasure map. He loved his eye patch...wouldn't take it off even after we were done searching for the treasure.

This is Camryn looking at Connor and Emily during dinner. They were both singing loudly (because there really is no other volume when it comes to their singing) so I think Camryn's face says it all...
