While Mom and Dad are away the Boys will PLAY!

My boys had a great time while we were gone. They started off at my parents house. They were excited to see the garage sale find my dad had waiting for them. A trike that pulls a wagon! Excellent! They also got to see my dad's beloved yellow van get towed away to the dump. This was the source of much embarrassment for me when we lived at my parents house! LOL ie: "the house with the yellow van our front."

That night they were lucky enough to have a big cousins sleepover. My sister brought her kids up and my brother's fam stayed over too. They made cookies and got new Halloween jammies from Grandma!

Apparently Brigs loved these jammies so much that later on in the week at my sister's house he had gone to bed and wouldn't stop crying. She wasn't sure what he was saying or what the problem was but eventually figured our he was saying "other ones" cause he wanted his other PJ's with the pumpkin! silly kid.

The next morning they woke up and went to breakfast with the witches at Gardener Village. The kids all had fun. Brigy stayed home and hung out with Grandpa!

 That night came more fun! My mom's friend decks out her house(in and out) for Halloween and then does trick or treating through out it. We went last year and it was so much fun. The boys came home with LOADS of candy. This year they all went together. Sad we missed it but glad the kiddos got to go. Brigs would like nothing to do with Halloween costumes this year and therefore they only got the pants to his Pirate outfit on! LOL

 They took a late night drive down to Nae's house. Then spent the week there. They had a fabulous time! Koen loves his cousins so much and always has fun playing in C town! :) I love that at one point my sister's 5 year old said "Mom, Brigs is intense. We might have to take him back to Grandma. I don't know if we can handle him." I feel ya Claire. Sometimes I need to take him to Grandma's house too! ;)  They rode bikes, had movie nights, colored, played with the kitties, Koen and Whitley got a little bosy like oldest kids do and I am sure they all drove my sister crazy but I love her for doing it! Mind you I did offer her just Koen. She said she wanted to take them both so "I owed her." haha 2 for 2 right sis? Even trade. or all 4 for half the time? or maybe even your 4 for 1 week, my 2 for 2 weeks, the possibilities are endless! :)

Koen informed me today that we needed to get a kitty. "but mom Brigs loved them so much..." Did he forget I hardly like the pet we already have. We have learned the hard way this momma is not a pet lover. :) Love you Koda. ;)
