Custom t-shirt courtesy of my nephew, Dominic. Apparently, I say this all the time to the kids (but mostly to Esme). Love my new shirt! Here is Dominic concentrating hard last night to get it all set up:
And then we had to go outside and play with our cameras and the flashlight :) We had so much fun staying up late making goofy pictures- amazing how long we entertained ourselves. Love these guys!
We are having some serious family times here lately! Love all the cousins on the couch.. we are only missing two!
Here is Dominic's photo of the day- cracks me up!
We added another cousin to the mix today! McKinsey is here- yay!! I had all five kids at the mall today and this lady asked if they were all mine :) She said I looked really calm -hahah!! Guess the boot camp last night helped out, right Mom? Fun weekend ahead!
Oh, and McKinsey has this eye trick she does that freaks.me.out. Whatcha think?
My nephew is here from Virginia- yay!! Dominic came into town for a visit and to go to orientation next week for college (he is going to college about an hour away from us!!). The kids are sooo excited to have their cousin staying with them- they love Dominic so much :) Poor guy is probably going to go home exhausted from all my monkeys constantly bothering him! Dominic and I tried to do some self-timer photos but we just couldn't get one we liked.. this one will just have to do- he looks cute but I look grimy.. oh well!
Don't you just love it when you are heading home from vacation and have to sit with your car in park for 30 minutes? yeah. me, too. Thankfully, the kids were great and the time went by pretty fast.
The kids had plenty of pool time this weekend even though it was so hot out the pool felt like a bath. They can have fun no matter what :)
We spent the morning at the ER with Esme.. bummer! She was running through the house and tripped and bit through her lip-ugh. It was a nasty deep cut, but luckily she didn't have any stitches. She is such an amazing girl--she didn't complain through the 1.5 hour ER visit.
Even though our morning was not fun, we had a great night at the Cape Fear Museum - there was a special Night at the Museum for kids. We all had such a great time at the exhibits!
The kids in a beaver hut:
Pirates- argh!
Beautiful owl that Aislin and I wanted to take home and put in our barn (if we had a barn):
Dissecting owl pellets:
and being ghost crabs :)
It was a good day overall :)
In Wilmington to visit Nana and Papa- fun! We were all so excited to see Brian's parents.. it has been a few months since they moved to North Carolina and we miss them tons. We went over to Fort Fisher Park and toured around a bit- so pretty. We were all pretty tired from our drive, so we didn't really do too much today- a lot of hanging out and napping :)
There was also some good Nana cuddling time going on this weekend :)
