Weekend Update

Another relatively quiet weekend for us. Kellen and I went to his skating lessons Saturday morning. This week we had him in hockey skates. We had them in storage so last week he was in the rental skates. The rental skates have longer blades on them, so we spent most of this class getting used to the hockey skates. Kellen did well though and afterwards we went to Quiznos together for lunch. Before we left the arena for lunch, Kellen talked me into playing the 'claw game' where you try to pick up stuffed animals with a claw. By design, the claw doesn't exactly have a lobster's grip. We managed to pick up a turtle stuffy, but the claw dropped it.

While Kellen and I were skating, Kristin and Danelle were at Lowe's. They have projects for kids from time to time there. This time they made periscopes. Kristin's turned out well and she and Kellen have been having fun playing with it. Kristin and Danelle ended up going to a different Quiznos together. Great minds think alike.

In the afternoon, we all went to an animated movie called Dispicable Me. It was pretty good. We went to the same movie plex as the last movie we went to, but we sat in a different theatre room this time. This one was a bit smaller, but you got to walk up to your seats from the entrance and the stairs had little red lights like the aisles in airplanes so the kids thought that was pretty cool.

Today was a pretty low key day. Danelle and I took turns running a couple errands and the kids stayed home and for the most part played pretty well together. I think Kristin is ready to get back to school after a long 4 day weekend for her.
