Weekend...

We ended up having a bit of a busy weekend, but not too bad. On Saturday, we went to that playdate. We were there a little over an hour. Then later that afternoon, we went to get this outdoor playset for Ben & Ella. Ben absolutely loved it - he giggled and slapped his hands down on the playset. Ella liked climbing up the slide. They took it apart for us so we could get it in our car, but we haven't put it back together yet.

On Sunday, I went over to a friend's house to plan our Vegas trip a little more and I watched the third act of Dr. Horrible and the new trailer for Twilight - thanks, Kelly! The sound on my computer at home isn't working. Then later, we had a high school friend of Jon's come over for a little BBQ before he left to go back home in CA. Ben & Ella took a little dip in the pool before dinner, then after dinner enjoyed pushing the fold up chairs all around the deck. Benjamin really enjoyed himself - he laughed quite a bit.

I guess while I was gone yesterday, Ella climbed up the steps when Jon was gone just for a moment. I think Benjamin did too. She can climb up those stairs quite quickly. We best keep that door closed when we have to leave the room for a bit (though Ella hates it when there is no adult in the room with her normally - she cries out and follows us wherever we go).

Yesterday, Benjamin took a tumble - not from the stairs, thankfully; he doesn't know how to stand on his own yet and he took a tumble after his papa got up and Benjamin was leaning against the couch between his papa's legs. Poor little guy has a bruise on the side of his head. :-( He cried out and so did Ella as she was nearby handing him something (I think a book) - I think hers was more out of shock because she didn't fall or maybe she thought by handing him something, she caused the fall. I don't know.
