We had a visit from Amanda and Evan's 3 cousins a few days ago. We hung out with them at our house while their Mom and Dad went on an exciting errand. We played, ate lunch, and then went to Grandma's house to wait for Mom and Dad to get home. They had a hard time being patient since they were hopeful that a tent trailer would be following their car when they showed up. Waiting, waiting, waiting...
Lots of yelling and running went on. It started raining and that didn't slow them down at all.
They thought it was so fun to YELL ALL THE WAY TO GRANDMA'S HOUSE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN IN THE TRUCK!!! We even got some people looking at us wondering what that wailing noise was that was going down the road. The girls sat up front and were not happy about the noise. I told them it was a good thing Grandma was only about 3 miles from us. Yikes!
The girls spent a lot of time hot gluing fabric to a cracker box and turning it into a Webkinz bed. Sophie, the dog, decided she wanted to hang out with the youngest cousin, Luke, since he seemed to like sharing food and loved petting her with his feet when she was under the table.
They all had a great time. It was fun to see them hanging out when it wasn't at a family event. It allowed them to just be kids...kids who thought it was funny to shoot Aunt Patty in the Bootie with a Nerf gun over, and over, and over again. What they didn't realize was Aunt Patty grew up with a certain older brother (AKA their dad) and was prepared with a squirt bottle. They didn't think that was funny. I did. Oh well. They are still in training...
