Our Wild, Wacky Weekend!


Memorial Day Weekend started on Friday when Jason delivered the munchkins around 6:30. After a quick dinner, we were out to play. Emmy looks so cute in this picture because she was trying to sneak into the water guns that were off limits till the next afternoon.








Zeke was interested in one thing only; talking on the phone. He kept saying, "Hello?" "HI!"





I bought sidewalk chalk so the kids could decorate my patio. Boy did they go to town. As you can see Emmy is hard at work.







Elijah draws some hearts. Look at that smile with no front teeth!





Zekey even joined the fun!







This is the tulip that Emmy and I drew together.







Time to wash it all away!







Rub a Dub Dub 3 Munchkins in a Tub!





All cleaned up and ready to settle down.






Zekey didn't last long and Emmy's not far behind!





Good Morning Zekey!






Emmy with her water-gun. Watch out!




Elijah's got great aim!





Dance Revolution was a favorite activity. Elijah got quite good at it!





While Dad was putting together my new grill, Emmy and Zeke played house in the box. This entertained them for hours, until.....





Elijah came along and realized they were having fun without him. He wanted to change a few things in Emmy's "Mansion" so.....





Emmy threw a royal hissy fit! Off to pout under the tree. Zeke wanted to comfort her, but she wouldn't have it!





Elijah and Zeke decided to be monkeys and climb my tree.





The weekend ended with lots of great food.


The weekend was so wonderful. The kids were a hoot. Zeke was such a little sweetheart. When he wrinkles his nose and says, "I'm Funny!" I couldn't help but laugh. We took the kids to the movies to see "Over the Hedge." It was a great movie, but Zeke might have been a little young yet. He kept laughing at the wrong times and announcing how funny it was out loud. But, we had lots of fun. Although it would appear that there were no adults here for the weekend, there really were. Mom, Dad and Andrea were also here and it was a great time with family. We missed Jay and Holly, but they got some much needed quiet time!

Boy what a fun weekend we had!! Sue's pool was a little chilly at first but I gave everyone a good chuckle getting into the water. The kids were a ball and the weekend went by way too fast!! Looking forward to the next family get together!
Love,
Mom

I will be dropping my kids off next weekend for a much needed mommy and daddy break. Do those exist? It sounds like a lot of fun. Zeke in that one picture on the bed looks like Jason in a picture I have somewhere.

Kelly,
What a "grate" aunt you are. They will always remember the fun they had when visiting. Your kitchen looks neat.

The kids are adorable as usual.

When Kim's kids leave when can my kids come stay with Aunt Kelley??? How about a principal's job in the warm sunny state??? Looks like they had a blast and you spoil them rotten. Is school out?
