weekend fun

i LOVE weekends. i LOVE weekends a hundred times more when i have longest weeks of my life like i've been having. however, i HATE how time flies during our weekends!

yesterday we took my mom to eat at tsukiji for her birthday. not bad...not as much selection as makino, but much better quality and atmosphere. brynna made out cuz my mom bought her crocs and earrings! little girl has shoes that are more expensive than shoes i'd buy myself! i have a hard time spending $20 on a pair of shoes, and i'd rarely ever spend $30 on a pair. but crocs for the kids are worth it...that's all caleb ever wears and i'm sure brynna will be in her crocs all the time too.

last night dave had his oh-so-important fantasy draft get together so we took the kids to the aiea bon dance. they enjoyed it...we only were there for about an hour and a half, but that was the perfect amount of time. they ate noodles, watched the dancing, got to hear the taiko drums...good enough.

today after church the kids went with their colmenares grandparents (we're so lucky to have both side grandparents to help watch!) and dave and i ate lunch, cruised around pridge for a bit, then came home, washed clothes, changed bedding, took a walk to office depot, and he even helped me with dinner (he cut mushrooms and bell peppers, oiled and mrs dash'd them...that's amazing!!!!).

right now caleb is sitting on his potty watching oobi (no shishi yet...it's been about twenty minutes). he's making funny faces and i think he has to pee but he's being his stubborn self and not doing it. gosh. i showed him a picture of a cars potty and asked if he would use that potty...his answer, NO. tonight i only got him to sit on it because i put brynna on it first and then after he saw her sit on it, he decided he wanted to. i think we will have to resort to all kinds of trickery with this guy...
