Cousins Week (Part One)

I've been looking forward to this week for a while now. This is the week that Jackson and Reagan get to stay with us while Jason and Nat (and Madison) are in Dallas! The kids came over Sunday night and will be here until Friday. I "took off" of work this week so that we could have lots of fun, and so far it's been a blast.

This picture is (night one) Abby laying out all Reagan's clothes with matching accessories and planning out what she was going to wear all week. I think she's enjoying having her own little real life doll to play with for the week. Reagan seems equally thrilled about this arrangement.



Monday: July 4th
A nice, laid back day. We all got up (not too early), ate breakfast, and played a lot. That evening, Ammie and Poppy came over for BBQ and we all had a good time.

Tuesday
Uncle Moose left early this morning to head to Dallas as well for the next couple days. The kids and I got up this morning, ran errands, went to the store, had lunch and played at McD's, came home for naps, then went to see "If You Give a Pig a Party" at the library. It was a great little production and we all loved it!

We waited in line to get pics (and autographs) from the cast afterwards. The boys declined to pose for a picture and instead opted to heckle/flirt with the cast members, tossing names back and forth like "Cheese Muffin" and "Cheesecake". They hollered back and forth all the way out of the library and giggled for the longest time afterwards :)

After the play, we headed home for grilled cheese sandwiches, playing in the sprinkler, and Toy Story 3. It's now 9:30 and I think everyone is asleep. Ah... nope. I still hear some whispering. I'm glad these guys are getting to make the same memories I did with my cousins growing up. Stay tuned for more!
