This past weekend, we had Avery and Landon stay with us since Jeff and Erin went out of town to celebrate Erin's birthday. We always love having the kids with us, especially since they are so well behaved!
Friday afternoon, I took Avery to get a pedicure/manicure while Andrew took Landon to the dog park to play with Charlee. Avery had so much sitting next to me in the message chair while getting her toes painted. Later that night, we went to dinner at our favorite Thai restaurant -these kids are not your average macaroni & cheese and hot dog kids - they are such good eaters! After dinner, we went bowling. The kids had a blast! It was fun for Andrew and I too since we don't bowl very often. The kids were so funny to watch. Landon would get a huge running start and then when he got to the line, he would throw his ball as hard as he could and we would all watch as it slowly (and I mean slowly) made its way down the lane. He would get so excited when he knocked a pin down! It was so cute!
After bowling, we took them home and gave them their baths. Then I read a few bible stories to them and they were off to bed! They wanted to sleep with Charlee but she was way too excited to settle down and sleep with them. All she wanted to do was lick Landon's ear. The next morning, I took Avery to her soccer game - she scored two goals and her team won 6-0! I must have been good luck because they never score that many goals. After her game, we had lunch at our -I mean my - favorite place, Bagels & Brew. Then I took them to sno-on-the-go, which is the best place ever! If you haven't yet been there - you must go ASAP! It's off Jeronimo/Los Alisos across from the new Sonic. It's this little house in the middle of the shopping center where they make amazing sno-cones (like the shaved ice in Hawaii) and stuff the middle with soft serve vanilla ice cream! It is so yummy - and of the course the kids loved it!
At the end of the day, I dropped them off at Andrew's mom's house, where they were staying for the remainder of the weekend. As much fun as I had with them, I was so exhausted! It definitely gave me a little taste of what it will be like when I have kids. So much work - but worth every minute!
Avery and Landon - Thanks for staying with us for the weekend. We love you guys so much and are so lucky to be your Auntie and Uncle!
Come back soon... xoxo
