Weekend Recap :)

We had a pretty fun weekend; just enough to do so that we didn't feel it was wasted, but not so much that we felt we never got time to relax. Friday night we just hung out at home, and Saturday we did a major cleaning extravaganza; our apartment was terrible (at least I think it was!). After getting that cleaned up, we took Kirsti, Rori and Kirsti's friend Caitlin to the Sun Prairie Corn Festival. It had all these fair-like rides, which the girls like, and the sweet corn was delicious! Kirsti and Caitlin went off on their own and went on the "grown up" rides, so Dan and I took Rori on the little kids ones. She went on the carousel, the bumper cars (I went with her for that), the tilt a whirl (she went on that with Caitlin), the "balloon" ride (which was just like any other little kid ride; she sat in this cool hot air balloon type seat and just went round and round) and then the Orient Express, which was this roller coaster shaped like a dragon. Since she's obsessed with Mulan, she LOVED this ride, since she likes anything Asian.

Then we came home, and since Tracy and Dan were out, we watched Rori at home while Kirsti played with Caitlin. Rori is so smart; she got this princess flash cards for addition and subtraction, and we went through them with her. After just a couple tries, she had it down pat! Sure, she still used her fingers to count out some of the answers, but for a little girl who hasn't even gone into kindergarten yet, she did amazingly!

Sunday, we just hung out at home and ran errands. After we had dinner, we watched the Murder She Wrote marathon (yes, we're nerds; we're 26 and we love Murder She Wrote) and then decided, on the spur of the moment, to go see a 9:30 showing of Mirrors. Yeah, it was scary. I was kind of scared to go to sleep, and I was even more scared to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and look in the mirror! Ah, well. It was fun to do something spontaneous on a Sunday night, instead of just hanging out at home like we normally do.
