Evan Needs Glasses!

This past weekend was pretty full.  It has snowed a ton, but we were still able to get Evan to a birthday party on the 14th and then Colin had one on the 15th.  Saturday night, Dennis and I went to a neighbors holiday party.  They did a silly chinese exchange and we had a blast.  It was fun to get a sitter and have an evening out.  Just to show how often we get a babysitter, I called the girl we had used in the past and she tells me she had moved to Florida...4 Months ago!!   I had no idea it had been that long since we had had an evening out!  I scrambled and was able to find another sitter (a teacher at Logan's school).  I wish we could have date nights more often, but it is hard to find a sitter, at least one that is capable of watching 4 kids!  We usually try to go out on our birthdays and anniversary and that's pretty much it.  We jump on the rare opportunity's that someone offers to watch them for us so we can go out (like my parents when they visit)!

Anyway, pics from this week...Tuesday there was a craft going on at the library.  So, I took Logan and Leah.  Leah had so much fun dancing to the music.

This was from last week, but I forgot to post it.

Tuesday, I also took the kids to the eye doctor.  Even though Evan passed his school eye test, we have noticed him squinting a lot.  Sure enough, he has an astigmatism in both eyes, that are not equal and it is messing up his depth perception and causing him to have a strong and weak eye.  Hopefully, if he wears glasses at all times, in a few years it will correct itself and he may not need them.  Colin did not pass his school exam, but did pass at the eye doctor, so for now he doesn't need any glasses.

Thursday, I took Logan and Leah to our usual story and craft at the book store.  Leah no longer wants to just sit in the stroller, so she is always crawling all over the place.  The lady who runs it decided to give Leah one of the bags they were coloring and Leah amazed us all when she started to color!  She was so proud of herself and did a pretty good job holding the crayon!

Friday, Leah and I went to Logan's school for Grandparent gingerbread house making.  Since, there were no Grandparents in town, they let me come again this year.  Logan had a lot of fun, but I think he ate more than he put on the house!  Leah, by the way, is wearing her Christmas dress from last year as a shirt!  It is so sad how much she has grown!  Last year her hands didn't even poke through and her feet barely did!
