Holiday Weekend

Mom and Dad came down for Makenna's musical, Seussical on Friday. It was her final performance of five. She loved every minute playing the role of a Who in Whoville. Sadly, our photos are blurry but I am posting anyway. The camera will not win this little war.

Upon their arrival, Kate was surprised with her birthday gift. She loves it.

Mom and I incorporated some much needed Mother and Daughter time away on Saturday. Cheesecake was involved. We returned relaxed, refreshed and ready to have little friends over for smores. They were "sticky" by all three year old accounts. We spent the evening by the fire with neighbors and good conversation.

On Sunday, Mom went to the Indy 500 with her Aunt, per tradition and we entertained Dad with playtime at the park and a walk around the neighborhood after church.

We wrapped up our Sunday evening with a game of Thomas the Train Uno where Ty announced, "I'm winning and you guys are losting."  A sleepover upstairs with Grandma and Grandpa commenced and we sadly said goodbye this morning. They will be back in five days for Erin's graduation weekend. Grandma and Grandpa know that section of the interstate well.

And today, we spent the afternoon at our favorite farm. Candy's family has six kids, three goats, two cats and a dog. Add 10 acres, a creek, a cave and a pool and the Baughmans are a very happy crew.

This little sweetie said our Memorial Day dinner prayer after clarifying soldiers are super heroes. 

While Lyndsey took all of the kids down the creek, Greg and I each took a turn photographing something other than the kids. It was a new concept and not one we easily accepted. 

Did I mention Lyndsey took all eight kids alone? When he rounded the corner like this, I lost it. Hilarious.  Ty didn't think so. He was crying. 

 My handsome little man went to what his daddy referred to as the "Man florist" and yanked flowers off weeds for his mommy. He's pretty sweet.

The weekend is over. Our final school week has arrived. We are all ready for summer.
