Presidents Day

By Amity -
Mac was off of school yesterday for Presidents Day. While we were doing the web cam with John we were talking about what President's Day was and how we honor our past presidents. I asked him if he knew what George Washington did, he said he chopped down a cherry tree. He then told us Abe Lincoln helped black people. I asked them how he helped them, he said to be just like us. John reminded him that he helped free the slaves. We hadn't talked with him about this, so he must be learning this at preschool. I was pretty impressed! He knows Barrack Obama is our 44th president as well. It's a good start to learning some history!

That's great knowledge Mac is learning about past presidents, lets hope he don't ask about President Bill Clinton...

Friday night Christina came out from LA to hang with us. John headed out early Saturday morning to spend a week fishing in Mexico with Jimmy for his 40th birthday!  Saturday Christina and the kids played almost all day long.  From shooting targets with Mac to being a princess, then playing Zombies with the kids and lots of Uno....all before lunch!  We hung out at the pool for a little in the afternoon, then met Mike and Sarah for some dinner and arcade games.  What an awesome way to end our last night with Grandma Cheryl, Mike and Christina.  I think everyone had a blast and I think Christina slept pretty well Saturday night!!!!!!

The forecast for today was a high of 100 degrees with humidity so what else is there too do on a hot day but hit the movies. I surprised the kids with lunch then we went and saw Toy Story 3 in 3D, the kids loved it. Emily did much better than I expected and only got bored the last 20 minutes or so. Mac of course couldn't take his eyes off the movie.
