We had a fun play date with Nana, Jessica, Carter, & Ellie. Jessica works with Nana at the hospital. We thought it was so funny when Carter said, "What kind of cousin is Grace?" Well, we aren't cousins but we sure enjoy play dates with them! We started our trip by spending the night at Nana's house. The girls woke up at 6 a.m. to crawl on the air mattress with Nana because they were excited to watch a movie.

We had planned to go to the zoo in Peoria, but due to rainy weather had to figure out an alternate plan. We ended up at the Discovery Depot in Galesburg, Illinois. I am really glad we went there because the kids loved it. It is a smaller children's museum. The girls really loved exploring the ambulance, police car, veterinarian office, barn, tractor, restaurant, post office, grocery store, and water area. They also had an outdoor play area we didn't explore due to the rain. I would definitely like to go back again. If you are in the area you should check it out.

Afterwards we went to eat at Hungry Hobos, a sub type shop we had never been to. Before packing up for home we attempted to fabric shop with all three kids for a fun blanket for Titus (more on that later). It was such a fun day!

Faith's "Goatee"

This is what happens when you leave your two year old on the potty and get distracted. She finds your mascara, thinks its lip gloss, and makes herself look like she is growing facial hair.

Saturday Mornings with Daddy

One of the many changes our family has adjusted to with Jeremy's new job is his absence when the girls wake up. He leaves very early most days. Since the girls are still little they really don't grasp the concept of the weekend. We find it so funny when they girls are so excited and surprised each Saturday morning to find Jeremy home when they wake up. One Saturday Faith excitedly told me, "Daddy in that bed!!!" when she discovered him still sleeping in our bed.

I love me a good family tradition. And Jeremy decided to start one of his own. Saturday morning breakfast with daddy. The girls love it. He makes a big yummy breakfast to start our day. We have mostly had waffles, but this week he expanded his menu and made ham, egg, & cheese biscuits. The girls are starting to anticipate this weekly meal. I love this video of Faith helping daddy cook. So if you are ever in our neighborhood and hungry on a Saturday morning stop by the Humiston Restaurant the food is quite yummy. (but we will probably be eating in our pjs)
