Grandma & Grandpa N have returned from Florida!! We were so excited to have them visit and spend the weekend with us. Tim and I had a little bit of time alone with them on Friday in which we talked about my quilt for Eli's room (me & Tim's mom) and installed outlets in our closet to charge electronics (Tim & his Dad). Then we went to pick up the crazy boys. Eli & Cole were excited to see Grandma & Grandpa N.
Friday night we had a great shrimp dinner and just hung out. Saturday, I took Eli to a birthday party (Happy Birthday Abby!) while Cole hung out with Grandma. We got back in time for lunch and then it was Cole's nap time. Tim's mom and I made a run to Joann's and got out of the house for a bit. Saturday night, Tim & I had a date night and went to the Glenn Beck show (I gave him tickets for Valentine's Day). We had a great time being out alone and it was really nice to have a break from kiddo bedtime. While we were gone, the boys watched 'Cars 2' with Grandma & Grandpa and got some good Grandparent loving.
However, to make up for getting out of bedtime duty, Cole decided to make us do puke duty Saturday night. He got sick in the middle of the night which required changing bedding, cleaning and changing Cole. All done, back in bed then.......not even 20 minutes later, we had to go through it all again. It was not fun! Cole then had a hard time keeping anything down for most of the day on Sunday but after nap time, he was hungry, kept it down and seemed to be over it.
Sunday morning, since Cole had been sick, Eli & I went to church by ourselves. We came back and had lunch with Grandma & Grandpa N before they headed home. The weekend seemed really busy but we had a great time. Welcome back Grandma & Grandpa - we missed you!
Eli got a new roommate Friday night - I love this picture of his face.
His new roommate - Grave Digger Fathead. (His Monster Truck room continues to be a work in progress!)
Pretending to drive the car video game at the birthday party. The intensity on his face is priceless!
Big structures, big fun with friends.
And we had a meltdown
How good friends help us when we're melting down. Evan came over (unsolicited) to check on his friend and talk Eli out of his funk
It definitely worked and they were running and playing again in no time.
Me & Evan's mom. There were lots of dress up hats and glasses at the party. We had to join in!
Evan, Eli & Colin - quite the lineup! They decided not to be in the group picture.
The birthday party gang minus the line up above.
Birthday girl Abby!
Every kid got to keep something from the dress up pile. Eli chose these Mardi glasses. He wore them all day!
We put together this 3d space / planet puzzle. Here's Grandma giving it a look.
And Eli - apparently the 3d worked because Eli was trying to touch a planet.
Movie Night!
Great picture!
Sunday afternoon, Eli & Tim worked on building paper airplanes. Eli is into ALL things boy!!
Cole acting puny - he milked being sick for all it was worth.
Little guitar hero
And a quick weekend project. It took me forever to find Easter baskets that I liked for the boys. I love the brown basket but was not fond of the yellow trim.
So Tim's mom helped me pick out fabric and showed me how to customize them! Love them now - more "boy"ed up and different color for Eli & Cole. The boys love them too. They're pretty big so Easter Bunny better be ready!
