On Friday night Charlie and Landry came over for a sleepover--wow I bet that was super crazy!
Reese learning to rope--he loves the Rodeo!
While Reese was going to the bathroom Poppa started chasing the kids acting like a bull and
Reese wasn't gonna get caught even if he was on the pot--this is how Poppa found him...smart boy I'd hide too (but I would probably pull my pants up--for Jerry's sake:)
This weekend while Greg and I were in Florida the kids got to spend the weekend at Greg's parents' house. Debbie sent me a summary of the weekend's highlights and I thought she told it best so here it is:
Thought y'all might like to hear a few things that happened during the weekend.
Fri. AM Abby & Reese helped us with some yard work. Poppa said after we finished what we were doing we'd break for lunch. Abby disappeared & would have finished, but had to come ask me where the bread was. She'd gone in & started lunch. She made everyone a peanut butter & jelly sandwich & set the table. She told us, "There's a dessert fork!" She wasn't sure what was for dessert but she planned for it nicely!
Abby at the supper table: How about if instead of you doing the dishes I do the dishes? (She rinsed them & I put them in the dishwasher--& Charlie & Reese brought the dishes from the table.)
Landry dripped a little "Poppa Pop" (Flavor Ice Popsicle) on his pants so he shows up in the kitchen with his bag, opens it, gets out a fresh pair of pants, I help him put them on and he zips up the bag & takes it back to the bedroom without me saying anything about it. He kept things pretty clean for us!
Abby & Charlie are jumping the pond--on the wide side--from the island to the side by the lounge chairs. (Abby did fall all the way in when they tried it holding hands.)
Reese fell totally into the pond once.
We were going to read a Brer Rabbit story under the reading tree. Charlie: We need Poppa Pops. That's how we always do it when we read.
We watched a "Little Rascals." All the kids were sitting on the couch & we were sitting in our chair. Abby gets up & comes over & crawls up there with us. Then Charlie comes over & climbs on. Then Landry. Reese is oblivious to everything going on. Finally he looks up & sees everyone's gone so he comes over & climbs on top!
When we were tucking Reese & Landry in we were singing to them. Landry said he wanted a book. Dad said, "How about a song?" and started singing "Step by Step." Landry shook his head & said, "No." The whole time Dad was singing Landry just sat there & every few seconds just shook his head no a couple of shakes with a really serious face. After the song I told "Tad's Glad Sad Mad Glad Day." He was happy with that!
Abby & Charlie were the first up Sat. AM. They put the bacon in the pan, kneaded, rolled out & cut the biscuits & broke the eggs into a bowl. They all did a great job of putting it all away (at the table, that is!)
Yes, we had a little cow-tipping going on. (And yes, MawMaw was one of the cows.) But nobody is brave enough to face Poppa Bull. (See attached photo of Reese hiding behind the shower curtain. He was stripping down for a bath after he fell in the pond when Poppa Bull came through.)
They all 4 went to bed without anyone getting in trouble. They did a great job. Next morning when Reese & Landry got up I was giving them 3 M&Ms for going to sleep so well. Before I handed them to them, Reese said, "Landry & me talked." And Landry added, "We talked." They both lost one for talking but they gained one back for honesty! We never heard them!!
Lots of laughing & giggles & prayers of thanksgiving for getting to play with their cousins!
