The Baker Act: Fun-Filled Weekend

June 1st, 2014

This weekend took fun to the next level. It also took tired to the next level.

We started off the fun by going to cheer on big cousin, Lucy, at her baseball game. Christian and Lindalee praticed cheers on our drive over. The playground at the field was a bit of a distraction, but I think they got a couple cheers out during the game.

"Go Boston, go!" Lindalee loved her "baseball" outfit.

We headed back home for a pizza party and sleepover. All the kiddos were so exicied, it was ridiculously cute. Lucy and Riley shared their love of Domino's Pizza with the Baker faimly. It was a hit, no surprise there.

While I cleaned up from dinner, I had two big helpers give Christian and Lindalee a bath.

Big cousin Riley reading Christian a bedtime story.

We finished the night with some popcorn and a movie. Bedtime went surprisingly smoothly, again, thanks to my two big helpers. After everyone went to sleep is when things started to get more interesting. Long story short, no one ended up getting much sleep in the Baker household. Lindalee did a good job of keeping us all up. Her big cousins love her SO much they didn't want to leave her side, so they were up too. I woke up after about three hours of completely interrupted sleep to four happy children and some good stories to tell.

Happy, happy girls!

I look forward to another cousin sleepover, but next time, I'm not sure if trouble maker Lindaleee will be invited....

Despite being in a daze from the night before, we headed to our old stomping grounds to celebrate a friends birthday. It was the first time back to our apartment since moving, which was really exciting for Christian and Lindalee. It looks so different, and beautiful in the springtime. Why did we have to be there during the cold and dark winter? We still had fun, I guess it was better than nothing.

Lindalee was so excited she ran laps around the courtyard. She didn't stop. She did 5-6 laps, waving as she'd run buy. Where did she find this energy?
