Weekend fun

We had a fun weekend.  Bob works a lot of Saturdays and I work every other weekend, so it doesn't happen often that we are both off, but it happened this past weekend.
After Bob got out of work, we picked up Alaina and Ruby for a sleepover.  We went to Culvers for supper, because Alaina thought a hamburger and fries would be good. (That's what she always asks for.)  After supper we stopped and visited Bob's mom and stepdad.

 Ruby was quite fascinated with Grandpa and Grandma's puppy.

 Ruby sat with Grandma for a little while.

 After we got home, Alaina wanted to play hide and seek.

They played with the toys for awhile...

 and then did some coloring.

 Ruby decided it was fun to climb on the stool and get into things on the counter.

She thought it was great fun to turn the phone on and off.  She loves to push buttons...

It was a long night.  Ruby usually sleeps pretty well, but this night she woke up shortly before midnight and numerous times through the night.  She and I spent the night on the chair in the living room.  I wondered if she was having bad dreams or something because she would wake up crying hard, out of a dead sleep.  The next morning she woke up with a smile though and was her usual happy self.

I did some baking on Saturday, and I had two helpers all too willing to get their hands into things!
We brought them home in the afternoon, and I took a little nap.  :)

Sunday we had a very good service at church.  Our pastor is doing a series on end times which is very interesting.  Our small group from church came to our house in the evening and we had some great discussion and a whole lot of laughs.
Yes, it was a very nice weekend!
