daddy's gone....let's party!!

derek left thursday morning to go to minnesota for the weekend. he was in a negotiation competition, and only 6 people from creighton got to go. i wasn't all that excited to be home alone for the weekend! on friday i let the girls miss school, and we spent the day in lincoln, ne, at the children's museum there. it's about a 45 minute drive from omaha. anyway, the girls had a great time.

it's so great when we have a day where the girls are all getting along. this day was awesome because the girls where playing so good together.

katelyn is obsessed with wheelchairs. the children's museum had a part that was dedicated to handicapped children. the exibit was set up so kids like katelyn could experience what disabled kids do. too bad she thought it was awesome!

ya, samantha wasn't too excited to be on the horse...i was hoping for a good picture opprotunity. oh well!

there is a theater play area at the museum where the kids and do face painting. luckily i caught annie when i did or else her whole face would have been black. she paints her entire face every time we go to the museum. last time it was solid red...it's no big deal unless we have errands to run afterwards! (we've gotten some crazy looks!)

oh, derek got home this afternoon. the girls were very happy to see him...so was i! samantha ran to him and gave him a big ol' hug...isn't that the best when they're little and just starting to do that sort of thing?!
