Day seven and eight

Day Seven
I blame the craziness of packing and getting things ready to go for the lack of taking a better picture. But before arriving and getting into more craziness I took a moment to capture something that makes us laugh.

My sister in law gave me these fuzzy socks for Christmas last year. Eric thinks they're funny. I love them! I only wear them at home, usually at night. Normally I hate socks but there's something about warm, fuzzy feet in the winter that I love. On our ride to Grandma and Papa's house this weekend I broke them out to get more comfy in the car. Eric just rolled his eyes and laughed.

Day Eight
Our main reason for this trip was to see Papa who was home for the weekend. Pete and his family were also there. In total there were 10 kids ranging from 10 to 16 months. And all but one of them are boys!

The other reason for making the trip was to celebrate William's birthday with his cousins. He requested a chocolate and vanilla cake and a Dawn of the Dinosaurs themed cake/party. We settled for having dinosaurs on the cake which grandma and Dee made. He had a blast having his "bestest cousins" there. We'll have a much smaller celebration as a family on his actual birthday later this week.


Matthew took this hat from Eldon and wouldn't give it back. Grandma taught me to crochet and so I'm hoping to make Matthew a hat that he can wear this winter, without getting laughed at when he wears it :)


The kids all piled into the hot tub while we were there. William enjoyed it, even standing the the middle and almost putting his face under except for the fact Dee forgot to mention that he should close his mouth :) Matthew is "H2O challenged" but Dee coaxed him into sitting in the tub. At first it was just on the edge with his feet in but eventually he sat inside up to his waist.
Samuel is our water baby. He wanted in though I didn't think he was big enough to join the kids. He sat on the side with grandma, held on to the older kids for a back ride, and just splashed around. He was the second to last one out and cried when taken out. We had a fun weekend.

I have socks like those TOO! Aren't they ridiculously comfortable? Mine are the same color of Cookie Monster's fur. They're awesome.
