Kids first sleepover

Beatrice already had her first sleepover at her Lola's house with her cousins, this time though it's both hers and Quentin's first time to have a sleepover with a non-family member but of course it doesn't need to be blood related to be a family member because they treated us as a family.

Since I'm working both Friday and Saturday nights and Matt is heading out to OKC to attend a prison ministry, and his parents are busy having a kitchen renovation so we end up calling some Grandma from church and they are happy to have the kids sleepover at their house, so I'm not sure who is more excited the kids or the caregiver.

I'm blessed to have church family around that I can entrust my kids if the need arises.

Washington County Fair

We took the kids yesterday at the Washington County Fair since it was $2 Tuesday night. The kids love the animal barns where they get to pet some animals even Quentin doesn't wanna go home but to insisted on staying more in the animal part of the fairground but it was past their bedtime.

They got to ride some rides at the fair as well.

This game got me into playing it more.

Around Lake Fayetteville with friends

Today we went with friends and their kids that's not in school around Lake Fayetteville trail which is 5.5 miles long.  

Sara along with Tariq and Amira, and Amy along with Norah and Ashton push the strollers while Quentin ride the bike while I run or walk beside him to catch up.

At the playground some of our preschool friends were there and Quentin had fun riding the bike again with Grady.

Shimmer and Shine houseparty

We got invited today to an only girl house party hosted by my friend Sara at her house up in Bentonville and we got to ride with Amy and her girls.  I took Beatrice with me and at first she doesn't like to watch the video but later she is glued.   She got to have her nails done, played on the trampoline and decorated some cupcake and ate it too.  While the boys went to the park so Quentin can ride his bike.

Making Tracks

The school has $1 book sale for the first week of school.  Today I gave Beatrice $5 to spend on a book during her library time and she was so kind and thoughtful to buy a book for her brother, thinking that he would love it and indeed Quentin was pumped to have a book from Manang.  She always thinks about her brother well-being that it makes my heart swell.

Visiting Amazeum with some preschool friends

A week ago my friend Jessie invited us over to their house for a swim with other friends and yet the weather turns cold and not ideal for swimming so we decided to go to Amazeum since she hasn't been there and Quentin love it there as well.  At Hershey's lab they did some experiment on which icebreaker mints makes fizzies.
