A weekend with Mr. Bear {Sunday Snaphot}

A few weeks ago Kate told me that she was going to get to take home the "class pet."  I did not recall a class pet so I asked her what the pet was.  She said she did not know.  Kate told me is it a surprise but we are not allowed to give it a bath!

Turns out, each child has the chance to bring "Mr. Bear" home for a weekend.  He comes along with some very good bear books to read together.  We are supposed to hang out with Mr. bear all weekend and document it.  It was a boring weekend here but I think Mr. bear had fun nonetheless....

First thing Kate did was take his clothes off.  Mr Bear was wearing some denim overall's that said "Cajun Bear."  She did not think they were very "stylish."  No offense to Cajuns.  We like Cajun things:)

Ahhh.... much better without those overalls!

Next, they snuggled up and read some books....

Later, we needed to go to Target.  Kate enjoyed showing Mr. Bear the beautiful Valentine candy aisle.  In fact, I could hardly drag them away from it.  My girl has a serious obsession with Valentine candy.  She thinks it is so beautiful!



Dave and Harry were in Dallas for a Judo tournament and Will was at a party.
So, Kate, Mr. Bear and I went out to eat.



No, Mr. bear did not have a Miller Lite!  I did though.

I took Kate to a little neighborhood Italian restaurant.  Kate had "real pasta" for the first time in her entire life.  Poor girl has only had gluten free pasta before.  When I was putting her to bed that night she said, "Mama that restaurant cooks dinners better than you and Daddy do."  She ate 2 pieces of real pizza (another rarity for her) and a side of penne!

Saturday morning we took Mr. Bear to Starbucks.









"I don't know those people."
Does Will look embarrassed of his Mom taking pictures in Starbucks?


And then we went to soak up some sunshine at the park.
We have not had much sunshine here lately so it was delightful.













Kate is loving the monkey bars these days and she can do them a bit too:)

Then on Saturday night we all took Mr. Bear out to a Vietnamese restaurant with friends.

Mr. Bear hung around the house on Sunday so I did not take any more photos:)







For those who asked, Kate's dress (cream and blue) is from Naartjie. But we have had it a while so they might not still carry it.
Oh and her pink quilted jacket is from Target (again bought last Fall).
