360's, Taylor Lautner, Rug Fighting, Robots and Baby Naming

The essential ingredients for any epic weekend.

On Friday we had to drop off some stuff at my parents' house and then head to the library because Annie is all desperate to know about ants right now.  "Do they have noses?  Then how do they know if I eat in my room or not?" (She has spent loads of time searching the walls in her room for the "invisible cracks" that they might get in through.)  My parents live on top of a big hill and it was a rainy day and on my way back down the hill the car started hydroplaning, I lost control and we did a giant 360 and slid into the curb on the other side of the road.  It really scared me.  I turned around expecting the girls to be screaming and crying and scared out of their minds, but no.  They barely looked up from the games they were playing on my phone and the iTouch.  I think Annie mumbled something like, "What was that Mom?" without even moving her eyeballs from the screen.  We continued on our way to the library with our bodies, automobile, and Angry Birds games unscathed. 

We are unstoppable in our quest for ant knowledge.

Jeff let me pick the movie to rent Friday night:


Don't worry, my movie choosing privileges have been revoked for a month, possibly forever.

The Sawyers are coming to visit (wahooo!), and that means it is time to hurry up and order a rug, so baby Max can have a soft place to play.  I spent lots of time combing the internet and then presented the rug choices to Jeff.  He said he didn't really care for the yellow one.  I of course then became convinced that only a yellow rug would do.  Jeff decided that not only did he not care for a yellow rug, but yellow was his least favorite color ever.
We got this one:


We had a super time at Luc's robot party.  Annie was so proud of her robot creation.



Then we got to be at Baby Makafui Will's naming ceremony.  It was beautiful.  Maybe we'll have a naming ceremony if we have another baby, but... probably not.  My inability to keep secrets is fairly legendary.  I don't know if I could keep the baby name to myself for a whole week after her birth!  It sure would be fun to build up the anticipation though.

No cupcake stands a chance put up against the Meg-inator.

Jeff said...

No, not even a little.

taylor did take his shirt off A LOT, but this was totally ruined for me because every single time jeff would look at me, raise his eyebrows and say something like, "really? are you enjoying this?"

Jeff said...

I'm so sorry I ruined that for you!

I like the new rug! I think you made a good choice. This whole blog post was making me laugh, except for the 360 part. Scary!

So, that would be a girl night movie? I love the rug! It's going to look so pretty!

Can't wait to see the rug! Scary about the drive down the hill!!! I will avoid going that way when it's rainy and slick. Was it raining that morning? Can't remember.
It was a busy weekend.
