It took forever to pick which pictures to use today, there are so many!

This morning we stayed in and played with both boys. The girls came in from the trailer both wearing orange t-shirts, so we had to find orange shirts for the boys too.

They had too much fun in the ball pit

Even big kids can’t resist ball pits!

Tackle!

Who is wearing out whom?

The girls were very cooperative about getting a group picture. The boys – not so much.

They were happy to sit after all the silliness and watch ‘The Muppets’

After the most brutal part of sunburn time had passed, we went to the pool. We are very grateful to have a close neighbor with an awesome pool. Thanks, Bailey!

Dunk!

Trevor figured out how her spray wand worked, and he watered all the plants

Back at home, time to work on Daddy’s brains

Sunscreen/pool hair

Brendan is ready to serve up dinner again. Tonight it was popcorn shrimp. The girls had never had it because of their dad’s severe allergy. The verdict = Ashley thinks they are pretty good, Kayla did not like them.

Trevor ate about a pound of them

Trevor loves to steal Kayla’s sunglasses

And finally, a little montage of some of today’s silliness

Even though we had company, we couldn’t avoid Sunday morning grocery day. We had to stock up to feed the whole crew for the week. 🙂 We had to go to Sam’s Club too. I know three kids that were happy to go there and get a frozen coke. Trevor says “Coke!” when he sees these cups.

We ran all around, including stopping at Kohls for some killer deals. We put both boys down for their naps and then the girls made a break for the pool. It was 107 today but the pool water was nice and cool.

When the boys woke up, they watched the girls play some xbox

Then they opened their suitcase that Gramma sent

They both loved this fish bowl toy

The girls built giant towers of peek-a-blocks for the boys to crash. They had a blast.

We made Shake’n’bake chops for dinner with macaroni, applesauce and peas. Kids’ orders! Trevor had to chew on the pork chop bone, dipping it in applesauce and biting it.

The cousin party has been good. They are all warming up to each other, playing, being hyper and silly, and having a good time.

I never know what I am going to find when I wake up in the morning. Brendan didn’t want to be put in bed last night, and I guess that trend continued through the night. He would wake up frequently and want to be picked up.

Bill finally put him on his little pillow on the floor. He slept much better being next to his dad! He better sleep well for me tonight!!

We did last minute laundry and shopping all day and got everything set for company. Brendan decided not to help, he was too busy at the workbench

We’ve been working on some goody bags and finally got them all put together.

Then Trevor and I went to the airport. We waited in the holding lot and watched planes landing. Trevor loved it!

He got a good close up of planes taxiing by on the ground and he watched the new sky trains going by. Planes on the ground and trains in the sky!

It was a lot of crazy getting everyone “introduced”, settled in and making dinner

Aunt Heather found Trevor’s tickle spots!

Full table!

Brendan won’t touch food, but he will help serve your dinner

Trevor was mixing green beans and ketchup in to his cup of milk and drinking it.

Trevor is maybe slightly wound up to have cousin company!

Kayla and Ashley helped give the boys their baths and then we got everyone ready for bed. I hope the beds in “Gramma’s House” are comfy and that everyone gets a good night of sleep. I am about to get the cot and go to bed myself!
