It was Alex's turn again to have Traveling Teddy visit our family this weekend! Teddy takes turns spending the weekend with each of the children in Alex's preschool class. We celebrated the happy occasion by inviting the Robinsons over for a pizza party Friday night. Ellie brought over her Stinky Bunny to introduce to Teddy.
Teddy seemed to like the pepperoni pizza the best.
After a long day, Alex was happy to share his bed with Teddy that night. 
Fortunately, there was enough room in there for three. Elena has been wandering into Alex's room every night, and this night was no exception. We always put her back in her own big girl bed whenever we discover her sleeping in his room, but she usually sneaks back again in later in the night. She loves her big brother!
Saturday morning we went to the gym and ran a few errands, which made everyone including Teddy very hungry. So, we decided to introduce Teddy to the wonders of MCL. He especially loved the blue jello.
After lunch, we went cheer on cousin Blake's basketball team. They played against our church, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, and won!
Saturday afternoon included a little quiet time on the couch with Teddy, Elena and Daddy while watching football. 
Sunday morning we awoke to find a little snow had fallen overnight. Before we could even eat breakfast, Alex had his boots and coat on to go "shovel" the snow on the deck with a broom. 
Despite not having much snow, it was VERY cold outside so we bundled Teddy up before leaving the house. 
Elena insisted on wearing her new rain boots. These new boots replace the much loved but too small kitty boots. They have "pretty ponies" on them, just like the Kenny Loggins song she listens to every night at bedtime.
Our running around on Sunday included a trip to the grocery store. Teddy wanted Alex to teach him how to make cupcakes, so we made sure to buy all the necessary ingredients and some extra sprinkles.
Alex had fun teaching Teddy how to make special robot cupcakes. He was big helper.
Dad helped Elena make some pink princess cupcakes with pink frosting. 
Alex and Teddy patiently watched the cupcakes cook in the oven. They turned out perfect! 
Our busy Sunday ended with Elena falling asleep on Daddy while watching football.
We were sad to have to send Teddy back to Mrs. Goldberg's classroom on Monday, but we are so glad he spent the weekend with the Walkers!
