Wednesdays

This last Wednesday ended our year of Creative Living Bible Study.  My mom actually brought Kendall to this with her when she was the kid's age, and now all of us are back as Moms, and bringing our own babies!!!

This is the first year that we have all been here together, now that the girls have moved back, and I think we all look forward to these days!

Surprisingly, this is the ONLY day that all of us are able to get together, other than birthdays and major holidays. With kids, care taking, church, work...we usually only get together in small bunches, so these days are treasures.

Today was the children's program, and each class performed a few songs and scriptures that they had been working on all year.  The boys are the only ones who are old enough to perform, but next year I'm sure Ain's will be up there!!!... that will be a treat! :)

After Bible Study, we either go to Allison's for lunch, or all head to the mall to eat and walk around.  Yesterday was a mall day, and I got "The Party Car!!!"  I love to trade kids during car rides, and usually Pax and Tucker switch, but Stone requested to join the party this time...he knows what's up! :)

Once we finish our lunches outside of Nordstrom, the kids play at the play area for a few minutes, and then we head to Pottery Barn Kids! 

Sounds a bit odd, I know, but they set up their "stuff," and the kids just love playing! Yesterday, the kitchen was a big hit!  It was no surprise to me that Tucker would love playing there, 1. since we don't have one, and 2. he always loves helping me in the kitchen!

Ains and Story are ALWAYS into stuffed animals!  They are little mommies, and love and hug on them!!!  This cracked me  up because Ainsley managed to find a giant giraffe and proceeded to carry it with her around the store.  No big thang :)

Pottery Barn also carries these really neat all plastic toys that the boys are always drawn to.  They had 3 out for display yesterday, which worked well...minimal sharing issues.  Tucker was obsessed with the rocket ship because it had 2 astronauts, and he was "zooming" it all around the store! 

And, of course, back to the kitchen!  They were a great team, and made me pizza :)  They know the way to my heart ;)

Just a little girl time :)

See?!  Everywhere!  He loved that little rocket ship!!!

And, of course, there is always hand holding. 
Always.

I am really so thankful for our Wednesday treasures.  We all desperately need the Bible Study, the kids love their classes and friends as well, and then watching them all continue to knit themselves together as "Brousins," and "Cisters" is just amazing. 

*And, on a side note, Livie was there.  She was right below the camera in every shot...in her stroller :D She's a mad woman when let loose, and I thought 5 loose cannons instead of 6 would be better for everyone's sanity ;) atehehehe
