Low-Key Weekend

We had a nice, low-key weekend. On Saturday mornning we headed to BookPeople to see our new favorite band The Que Pastas. We were excited that Ella and her mommy, daddy and nana met us there. Later that afternoon, Sarah and Ken came over to play, then we went to Phil's/Amy's for an early dinner and of course ice cream. You know you might treat your child to Amy's Ice Creams too often when he walks up to the counter and confidentally says, "A tiny Belgian chocolate, please!"

It's kinda neat now when one of Spencer's friends comes over to play and they can just run around without constant supervision. At one point things were a tad too quiet for my taste, so I peeked in on them and this is what I found:


Sunday was a super fun "Spencer and Mommy Day." We made pizza pockets for lunch...


Then we made a cardboard heart-shaped bird feeder and hung it in the yard. (We will relocate it today - that wasn't the best spot to hang a birdfeeder.)


Both of those activities were compliments of Spencer's Highlights High Five magazine. Our friend Christa sent him a subscription for Christmas and we're really enjoying it.

After that, we spent a few hours at Zilker park and even took a ride on the Zephyr. It was a great day!

Mrs. M. Got Ella High Five, and we just got our first issue. We are eyeing that bird feeder project!

We used peanut butter on the bird feeder instead of Crisco. That just seemed gross.
