Weekend Update

I'd better explain these scary pictures...Instead of having our usual date night, Aaron decided to abandon Lincoln and I Friday night to go on an Elder's Quoram camp out. Once Lincoln was asleep I was alone in the apartment and bored -- a bad combination. I remembered Nette telling us at Playgroup how she ties her girls' hair up in rags, and it comes out so cute and curly the next morning. I decided to give it a try with my own hair. Haha. I was going to do a 'before' and 'after' picture, but the 'after' was a lot scarier than the 'before' so I think we'll just stick to the 'before' and call it good. I probably didn't do it right, or maybe my hair is just not cut out for rag curls. The back actually curled really well, but the front was a disaster. I ended up putting it all up in a pony tail. Needless to say, the hairdo looks lots cuter on Nette's girls.

Saturday morning Aaron came home from his camp out. Lincoln climbed onto Aaron's backpack and Aaron pulled him around the living room on it. We thought it was so funny. Lincoln and I were desperate to get out of the house, so we all loaded up in the car and attempted to go to a park. We had dressed for warmer weather though and when we got there we were a bit chilly, so we ate our lunch and came home. After Lincoln's nap we went to the library. I checked out three books, one called "Love and Logic" that Sydni recommended to me. It's about teaching your kids how to be obedient without getting angry or frustrated in the process. So far I really like it. It'll probably end up on KRR (Krystal's Recommended Reads, see side panel). I also got a book about homeschooling, and a book about canning. Both are things that I want to learn how to do. After the library, Aaron washed our car! Yay! It's needed it for so long. We haven't washed it since we moved to Texas and who knows how long before that. Later, after Lincoln was asleep for the night, Aaron and I watched No Reservations. I was pretty disappointed in the movie. First of all, the rating on the back was PG, so I was thinking great, no sex in this movie. And even though there wasn't really actual sex in the movie, some of the conversations...holy cow! And besides that, I didn't think there was really a plot, or character development, or even much of a love story. So, if you haven't seen it yet, don't waste your money.



On Sunday morning Aaron wasn't feeling well. That meant I had to take Lincoln to church all by myself. I was a little apprehensive about that. I thought for sure we'd be leaving church early because I just couldn't handle it anymore. Much to my great surprise and delight, Lincoln was an angel for all three meetings. The only time I had to take him out was to change a poopy diaper. Way to go Lincoln! Sunday night we had spaghetti for dinner. And we thought, there is no reason why Lincoln couldn't eat spaghetti. So we cut it up into tiny little bits and fed it to him. He wasn't too sure about it, but he ate it. And it stayed down. We thought it was a very great accomplishment to introduce Lincoln into the wonderful world of big people food. So that was our weekend.
