Typically every long weekend our family gets, we go out of town and up north. Not this one... and it was fabulous! We had no commitments and were able to lay around, enjoy the weather and enjoy eachother. That's not to say we missed our friends in Webster... it was just nice to be home and low-key.
And that decision early on proved to be a great one... for a couple reasons. Namely... Molars. Yes, you read correctly, molars. You see... Franny's molars decided to work full force this weekend and it made for a long one! Nece's one year molars were nasty as well... though we spent sleepless nights in Colorado when those reared their ugly heads.
Unfortunately, my girls get TERRIBLE diaper rashes as teething goes into full force, and this weekend was no exception. Franny had lots of Dreft baths, lots of bare bottom time (with a couple poops on the floor, no fun), and lots of different concoctions to get the redness, rawness and blistering under control. Poor thing! So you ask... what has helped us get ahead of it a bit. Good old faithful WATKINS. (if anyone reading this still works at Watkins... I need more) Yes, I worked there in college, and I got my handy dandy book out... the Petro Carbo, with Vaseline rubbed over that and cornstarch powder has helped us get ahead!
So... now that the not-so-fun stuff is out of the way... what did we do?
Friday- watched the Vikings and played with the neighbors
Saturday- daddy worked in the morning and we did a whole bunch of nothing and continued to enjoy the perfect weekend of 80 degrees and sunny every single day
Sunday- we had the pleasure of spending the day up in Elk River on the lake and taking a pontoon ride! Thanks Bob!!!
Monday- daddy took the girls to the park, mommy ran errands, and after naps we enjoyed some final fun in the sun!
Enjoy these pictures that were snapped this weekend as the girls played in the water with Mya.
