Over the last few weeks we have had a lot of visitors. I told Anderson, "___ is coming to see you" or "We are going to see ___" and he would always say, "Yay!" I tried to get a few (lot) pics with everyone, but if I left you out, I am sorry!
No time off is complete without a play date with Jack! They really are starting to interact so much more & it's great! Clare & I actually get to catch up during the visits now.
Anderson loves Gabbi's crate & wanted to share it with Jack. Clare proposed the idea of just locking them in there, which we might have to act on one day.
One of my awesome students, Maribeth, came by to visit Anderson & bring him a fun present & more stickers!She is one of those rare people who is gifted at math & History, so I would like Anderson to hang out with her more. Maybe her genius will rub off on him?
Shout out to
Savannah! She was making bacon for cheese fries (we opted for healthy eating during the weekend). I put a link to her blog (which is hilarious) as a reminder to her to update it! She is an advocate of everyone having 5 kids and is very disappointed that our plan doesn't really include that. Being around all of them really does make you want to have a bunch of kids!
Bella was absolutely the perfect playmate for these 2. She is sweet, calm, and honest! She asked if she could call Anderson, "The Cute One" because he is so cute! (I, of course, immediately said that would be fine) And, when Lily was acting a teeny bit dramatic she said, " I think she might need some attention." It was hilarious.
There have been a lot of people in my parents' house over the last few weeks. I really don't know what Anderson is going to think now that the family extravaganza is over!
Sherri (She is who got us in with Dr. Cogen!!) is awesome because she has 5 kids and is just not fazed by anything. She is making ladybugs out of bread here with the Lils. Lily got just a bit of attention over the days she was here.
Literally, there were just people everywhere. So fun.
Bowman is the youngest of Sherri's kids & he was SO good with Anderson & Lily and chased them around the house & let Anderson attack him.
A video of Lily & Anderson. Here is the difference between them: Anderson is rambunctious, Lily is dramatic. That is my observation on boy/girl. They really are so fun to watch. As always, please ignore the awful filming.
A little football with Big Cousin Noah last week.
A visit with Jpa that included reading a few books
and a bit of wrestling!
This has nothing to do with people visiting us, but is very important that I share this with you. Aunt LoLo got me this awesome water bottle for Christmas. It is a Brita one with the built in filter, so you can just fill it up wherever and it is clean, not gross smelling water! I drink a lot of water, so this is going to change my life.
Aunt Ems came into town & I got to see her twice! As always, I loved hanging out and chatting about Stella, who will be here SO soon! (but not too soon, stay in there Stella)
Jessica, because she is wonderful, met us at Panera (where Anderson had a giant m&m cookie for breakfast) & brought Anderson all kinds of fun books.
Hanging out with GG!
After reading this post, I would like to have bacon cheese fries and a Panera cinnamon crunch bagel. :) Maybe not together. But definitely both in the same day.
ReplyDeleteAnderson is so in to that book that Jpa is reading to him. Adorable picture.
fun fun, that is all I can say.. 10 days of family and fun.
ReplyDeletethe pillow wrestling video is the best, ever. You are right- they are siblings. I will think about him walking slowly past her with the pillow tonight when I am trying to fall asleep. And, I will laugh over and over, again.
ReplyDeleteWish I could have been there to hang out! Love that Lily got to experience it!
Rambunctious boy and Dramatic girl... you must have been hanging out with MY children?!
ReplyDeleteGonna guess reading a book with Jpa was during the new patch free hour?! Yay!!!
That video is too funny- when he walks by her...hahaha! Y'all must have so much fun with them.
ReplyDeleteThe Brita water bottle is FABULOUS! I bought one a few months ago, and I do not know what I did before it.
Happy Birthday to Anderson! Yay for 2!
I hope you have a great first week back to school!
I stand by my comment of locking them in the crate. As long as DCS doesn't find out :)
ReplyDeleteTHAT IS JACOB AND MORGAN. OMG. seriously. that is exactly what jacob would do to morgan, just annoy the crap out of her. and the weird thing is, he never has done it with anyone else. only morgan. from your pics and posts of anderson playing with other friends, it seems like that is true of him also...and morgan was always dramatic.
