We had a nice weekend. On Saturday it was the AWANA Grand Prix where the girls got to race their small wooden hand carved and hand painted cars. They didn't win, so Isabella was very bummed. Rosie was disappointed but she still had lot's of fun with her BFF who won 2nd place in the T&T category. I was proud of Rosie on how she handled her BFF's winning a trophy when she didn't get one. Sometimes there is an air of competition between the two of them, but in the end they love each other very much and they have fun! As for my Isabella I spent much of the event giving her lot's of hugs and kisses. Nick told her that next year we'll make a better car and he took her to the church's play ground to cheer her up. And it seemed to have worked because by the time we had lunch there Isabella seems happy again. Specially because they had hot dogs, her fave for lunch! And all the goodies they got from the bake sale didn't hurt either, lol.
Later that day we had Rosie's BFF and her little brother over to our house to hang out, then it turned into a last minute sleep over. They spent the day swimming like polar bears in the cool pool, jumping on the trampoline, playing "Toon Town" on the computer, watching "Ponyo", drawing, planning a play they never actually performed and other fun stuff. The little boy slept in Bella's room and the girls stayed in Rosie's. Nicky even became a buddy with the little boy. I heard them have a conversation about tools and other "man" things ha,ha,ha. Needless to say it was a great day for my kiddos.
On Sunday we went to church where they had a dramatic presentation of the Gospel according to Mark. It was actors dressed in plain jeans and black shirts dramatically reciting the entire gospel. I enjoyed it very much. The kids enjoyed it for a while but then it became too long for them so toward the end they were bored. They did think some parts were funny and even exciting, but Rosie wished she could have also had Sunday school which was cancelled that day so that families could see the presentation together.
After church I took the friends home and we came back right away because it was raining very hard. Nick stayed home with Eva and I found them cozy sleeping in bed. The rest of the day we just chilled at home.
