Week with Grace and Mikey

So this is a long post with lots of pictures. We were

lucky enough to be here the week Mom and Dad had

Josh and Suzi's kids. I love it when Daniel spends time

with cousins. Now having 4 kids 4yrs and under seemed

a bit crazy at times. I'm not quite sure how my parents

managed. But it was overall quite fun.

The kids love to paint and we had a few large boxes

to paint. I cut holes in them so they would have windows.

This was Daniel's train and he was not a fan of

sharing his train. Gramps finally threw it away the

other day and it broke Daniel's heart. Tears and all.

Mama Grace took care of Daniel when he thought

he needed a band aid. She had gotten one and had

it on before I got back with one.

Mikey Grove Zoo

Can I say this is no San Diego Zoo. It was tiny but

just big enough for 4 small kids and 1 big kid.
We really like the bird area. We got to feed the birds

and they land on you. Scared me at first (it was unexpected)

but pretty cool.

Lunch time at the park.

Tyler was a big help this day. He pretty much

took care of Justin when needed for me and took

the kids down the slides when they first were scared

too. Thanks Tyler.

The kids spent a lot of time out in the pool.

When we had taken a look outside the kids

had rearranged everything to set up their kitchen.

The kids helped Nana weed (if you could call it that).

Grace had picked some flowers and replanted them.

There's not much better then having snacks outside.

Now Daniel always wants the table outside.

Movie time. We had a few movie nights with blankets

and popcorn. I thought it was funny when Grace and

Mikey were laying on the table. Daniel decided to climb

in Justin's car seat. Not sure why but he thought it was funny.

I love this picture. Mikey had to have Justin

sit with him. Too cute.

Mama Grace liked helping with Justin.

She liked to give him his pacifier even when

he didn't want it. It was fun to watch her.

Mikey picked up Justin from the couch and was

carrying him. Scary but he didn't drop him.

He just wanted to hold him. At least he didn't

take him off the bed (Daniel said he went "WEE")

and carry him by his shirt. Daniel did this earlier

in the week.

We had a fun but tiring week. Lots of fun.
