Treasure (Whatever Happened to Pete the Chop)

We had a special visitor this weekend to cap off a great week around here.  In addition to our normal visit from Grandma Gail and Grandpa Tom, and the kids weekly swimming, and another football game for Jack ... Lily got to bring home Petey the Penguin, her class mascot.  Lily had a great weekend showing Petey around.

On Friday night, Petey got to have movie night with Lily and Jack. On Saturday, Petey ran some errands and got to have lunch at Bagel City!  On Saturday night, Petey went with Lily to a sleepover birthday party at her friend Chelsea's house.  Sunday was a bit of a lazy day for Petey but I think he did go to the pool with Marcy and Lily for some additional swimming.  This is a very busy place for penguins.

We also worked with Jack on his biking without training wheels this weekend.   He is making progress slowly but surely.  He seems to have the hang of it but he stops pedaling when Marcy lets go so all forward progress comes to a halt!  It will come soon enough.

Here are the pictures from the weekend.

I think that video of Jack and his writing was taken especially for me so I could see that Jack is , indeed, going to be able to write his letters!! Thanks...I will sleep better tonight!!! Did Lily have to write about the weekend with the Penguin? I am sure she/he had a great time as a visitor to your home! Once again, great pics and great entertainment to start my day!
