Weekends come really fast, don't they? This past weekend was BRUTAL COLD, without any relief whatsoever! The kiddos were here Friday night and into Saturday. At the elementary school, Chris and Matthew both had Valentine's parties Friday afternoon. Christopher ate something that made him sick (most likely too much sweets), so he was rather miserable (groaning misery)--so we had to kind of work around and through that Friday night. We pampered him as best we could; however, we did not have our Bible story and we didn't play any games. Matthew and Ems and I just did quiet stuff while I was attending to Chris. I took NO pictures Friday night.
We did watch a bedtime movie. It was Matthew's turn to choose and he picked, "The Little Rascals Save the Day!" It was cheesy and totally corny, but it WAS cute mostly and not loud or obnoxious. We were still caring for Chris and didn't want a LOUD movie during his sickness. Thankfully, everyone slept well and Saturday was a brand new day!
Christopher awoke without any stomach problems! YAY!
Christopher playing his hand-held video game … something called a DS ???
After her bath, Emma made a domino run combination with the old marble run I have ...
And Matthew constructed one too. We ate lunch together, wrapped some gifts for our GOLDEN COUSIN and then drove over to visit Brendan for just a few afternoon hours Saturday ...
The kiddos had not seen each other since … Thanksgiving. Pathetic. Brendan was struggling to get these ribbons OFF his gift ...
So Emma helped him out ...
Brendan was SO pleased with his gifts from his adoring cousins ...
Christopher helped open up the box and undo all of those annoying twisty-ties ...
Inside was a CONDUCTOR HAT, a train whistle, a Thomas train … and another train whistle from Ems!
Oh my word … what a little doll face this child has! Could you just kiss him forever? Yes! I know!
I think our Little Fellow was completely pleased … he makes a marvelous looking conductor!
Everyone had fun trying on the hat ...
We enjoyed some snacks … although Christopher looks less than happy here … I am unsure why!
The kiddos all played so nicely together. There is a huge gap in age here between Brendan and these guys, but everyone enjoyed our play time.
Even Aunt Kelly!
Love these guys!
