One Last Adventure

-
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. In this case, it means that no matter how much fun we’ve had, everyone has to go home. On Saturday morning, Gram, Gramps and Great Gram left. Bella and her friend came home from camp, and then she left to stay with another friend for a few days. Katilyn, Seth and Bryson go back home on Tuesday. And the four of us left yesterday for a family trip.

Before we all dispursed, however, we had one last opportunity to let the boys play together. I seriously have no idea what these two boys are going to do without each other. I’m so glad that they’re so close in age.

Our favorite coffee shop was celebrating their anniversary. To celebrate, they got a free bouncy house for any kid who wanted to come play. We figured the boys would love it, and we were right.



They even had free drinks for the kids.





The last time Gabe was in this bouncy house, there were so many other kids that he didn’t have a chance to figure out how to get up the ladder. We managed to show up when there weren’t many other kids, which meant both boys got to figure out how to climb up and they thought it was great. 







Even Auntie Katilyn got in on the action!

We also had one last ladies lunch. 



It’s been great fun having everyone around and it’s dad that everyone is going to head their separate ways.

Easter Eggs and Cars

My friend had surgery again, so her two kids are staying with us, which had been fun. It definitely has made our house fuller…and noisier… But they’re good kids and we’ve had a lot of fun. Monday we dyed Easter eggs. Josy ended up not participating, but the other three had a great time. Gabe was very proud of his special egg, where he painted the three crosses. The next day, Josy got to dye eggs with Cathy and Gabe missed out, so it all evened out. Also, Josy dyed eggs at school on Wednesday, so we have lot of eggs around here… Then the kids all made cars for Awana. Luckily I’d just gotten two very large Amazon boxes for a work project, and they worked perfectly. So we had several days of construction and lessons about knife skills. And now we have two very large cars taking up the majority of the living room… But they’re very proud of them and are having entirely too much fun with them.

A Very Cold Day

We had another round of ski lessons yesterday. Unfortunately, it was cold. Very, very cold. Realistically it was just the wind chill. We would have been fine skiing in the teens, but the wind knocked it down and extra 15 degrees and that was too much. Pat and I took our gear, but decided it was way too cold, so we hung out in the lodge waiting for the boys.  A half hour into the lesson, I got a call from a friend that works up there that Josy was in the office. He’d made it a half hour before deciding that it was too cold to ski. So he hung out in the lodge with us. Gabe made it the whole time and didn’t want to quit to come inside. But Pat told him no and as soon as he came in, he realized that his fingers and ties were numb.  We ate lunch and then headed home. Hopefully the weather will be more pleasant next weekend…

A Car Wash

Spring is finally here and it feels so good!! I mean, it still freezes overnight, which makes for sound very cold morning runs, but then it’s warm during the day. In fact, it was so warm, that Gabe wanted to run in the sprinkler. Pat had screwed the sprayer on so tight that I couldn’t get it off, which was the only reason he didn’t… Instead he decided to wash the car. I’m not going to say that the quality of the car wash was the best, but I will not complain about a kid wanting to wash my car. Yesterday there was a sports team doing a car wash fundraiser and I was going to take the car in, but Gabe was proud of his washing job, so we didn’t. I think my car is going to look like this for a while… Then we got dinner at the food trucks and headed home for a fire and s’mores.
