Some Time With Uncle

Due to a hockey try-out about 45 mins from our house, Uncle Alex was able to spend some time with us. He arrived late Friday night and took off early Saturday morning but was back after dinner on Saturday. The kids were able to get in a few good hours of "Unkie" time. The weather was beautiful so we spent the time outside.

Even Zeus got in some good play time with Uncle Alex!After exhausting the children outside it was time to get ready for bed. All three enjoyed some stories read by Uncle and went to bed fairly well, sad to have their time ending with Uncle.After Noelle and Violette went down, Violette wouldn't go to sleep and Noelle was getting annoyed. She stomps out of her room, hands on her hips, eye crossed, and says loudly, "Vivi keeps turning on that damn bear and it is keeping me up!". We all laughed so hard. She has so much attitude in that string bean body of hers!

This morning, Sunday, Uncle Alex left again early to go play hockey. We had a wonderful time, although short, with him. Max said as Uncle was pulling out of the driveway, "Uncle Alex is my favorite". The rest of the day was a typical lazy Sunday, enjoying time outside and lots of games, including some much loved Candy Land.

Tuesday starts the second round of swimming lessons for Noelle. She is very excited and so am I to get her back in the water and on her way to becoming a little fish!
