Playtime!!

Wednesday we had our first visit with Jacob since he went to his Mom's for summer vacation. It was SOOOO good to see him!! We all miss him so much! I picked up Katie from school, then picked up Jake from his Mom's at around 2:30p - Katie greeted Jake with, "Jake is my brother, he's so cute!", ROFL. Then we all returned home. Jake and Katie and I all played with my newest toy (thanks Mike!), the Wii Fit. We still have Jen's Wii Fit here as well, so I put them both on the family room carpet in front of the TV, and the kids mimicked my movements as we played several of the balance and aerobic games together. Jake even tried the skiing game, but since the board was calibrated to my weight it wasn't recognizing when he was leaning. If not for that, I really think he would have done very well at it - he got the hang of it very quickly. Mike went in to work early so he could leave early, so he arrived home about 4p. He played ball with Jake while Katie helped me make the pizzas for dinner (yellow squash hair, green pepper ears, bacon mouth, and pepperoni eyes on Katie's pizza - hey, how else am I supposed to get her to eat squash???). Then Katie joined Mike and Jake and they all three played ball while the pizzas were cooking. We enjoyed our pizza together, and Katie even ate some of the squash hair :) . Mike took the kids upstairs to play a while longer after dinner. Then it was time for Jake to go back to his Mom's.
