Keeping them busy.

Tonya, Presley and Piper came by Friday to visit Little E and I.
The kids kept busy the whole time between running around in the backyard, baking cookies and drawing.
The piece Presley's working on right there was a gift to me :)

Saturday was SUPER exhausting. Woke up at 5:30 am, met John up by the lake for our 5 mile race. Which we ran in 52 minutes, not bad if I do say so myself. Then quick trip to the grocery store (yes stinky and all), home to take a quick shower and head to the Church's Mother's Day dinner. I fell like a ton of bricks when I got home.

Luckily my darling Nick suggested I go take a nap, which I did..for 3 hours.

Sunday was church and then a Grill out at Tonya's.
The kids had a blast and in the process drove us to insanity.
They played with play dough, watched movies, ran around screaming, then more screaming and More screaming and pretty much gave us mom's migraines because during this whole process we were in the kitchen trying to get lunch ready.







The guys were in the garage building their bikes.
I like this pic of Nick :)




Guy's doing their "Man" thing.





After dinner and the kids were finally settled down...a tad.
Us moms went on a 2 mile walk.

See Karen, this is what Tonya and I meant about walking and shooting.
I like this pic of you...you look skinny, I'm jealous.





As the evening wound down we sat around the table planned our trip and drank.
Yes, the kids actually drove us to that.
A little wine or mixed drinks....or both, never hurt anyone.
Especially some whipped moms.


Oh and this lovely picture below?





This is what I found while making the boys' beds this morning.
They drew on their bedsheets....BEDSHEETS!
I wasn't mad though, I'll give them props for creativity.
I'll take this over non-creative, couch potato, video game hungry, robotic kids any day.
