Our Super Saturday!!

We had a busy, fun Saturday today and thought I would share with you what we did!  It started with Reid getting to sleep in, while Caeden and I made him muffins.  This was the first time for Caeden to help me in the kitchen and it was fun (but messy).  By the time we finished, there was literally batter all over the counter, the cabinets, the fridge, and the back splash.  But he tried his hardest and we had fun in the process!


Dumping the mix into the bowl...Notice his facial expression...It's like he's really concentrating! ;)


Dumping the water into the bowl...


And stirring!




And of course, licking the whisk!



After breakfast, Caeden and Mommy went outside to the backyard to play for awhile - the weather was super nice!!  We then got all ready and went to Gymboree for our "gym class!"  Caeden looks forward to this every Saturday morning and gets excited when I say the magic two words: gym class!  Today we learned about the concepts "pushing" and "pulling."  So we did lots of pushing and pulling of objects in our class!






We then came home to take a nap and eat lunch.  Mommy and Daddy ran some errands in the afternoon and Caeden was a great trooper while letting us shop!  So we decided to make a quick 15 min stop to the park on our way to dinner!





And lastly, it was to Chick-fil-a for dinner...where we were meeting some friends!



After we got Caeden home, bathed, and in bed, we were cleaning up and heard some chirping in the kitchen.  You see, Reid hatches chicks or ducklings each year for his class.  Well, this year the "hatching day" fell on the weekend, so he brought them home for us to watch!  We ran to the chirping sound and got to watch the whole process of the duckling hatching!  It was so cool!  Unfortunately, Caeden was already asleep, which I was bummed about.  But we'll definitely let him hold it once it's safe to take out of the incubator.  So I thought I would share some pictures.  The first pic is when it was halfway hatched.  And the second one is once it's completely hatched!



As you can see, the Pierce family had a busy, FUN-FILLED, "Super Saturday!"  Thanks for letting me share!  Hope you have a wonderful weekend as well!

  2. What do you do with the ducks after you are done with them each year?

  3. He usually gives them back to the person who gave them the eggs...Because they usually have a farm.
