Geesaman Visit

Kate and Aaron stayed overnight on Sunday night and did we make the most of that visit! We started out with church on Sunday morning and then took the kids to The Shoppes for lunch. We got there and it was Kids Day, so the boys bounced in the big bounce houses and we saw Tigger and a dunk tank and balloon hats and face painting....it was lots of fun and when we came home the boys both took great naps so that Kate and I could go couponing!!!! Oh and we each snagged a free paper from the mall as well! (They were giving away free copies and who can turn down free coupons??!!)

Once nap time started we left the house (and the kids!!) and went to Walgreens for some make-up deals, but decided against them once looking more closely. We ran to Aldi's and to Cub's for a few things and then came home to get ready to cook out. The boys played outside while Mick cooked for us and had a great time! Emily hung out with us in the house while we prepared the rest of the meal. After dinner we all enjoyed some ice cream! Yummy!!!!!!! The kids were all pretty tired, so we gave them baths and put them down for bed and Kate and I began going thru all of their stuff that we have been storing. Kate did a wonderful job of down sizing and was able to give 2 HUGE bags of clothes to Goodwill!! Good job Kate! We finished that up about 10:30 and headed to bed.

Monday morning we got up and I made Monkey Bread for everyone and we got the boys ready to head to a playdate- it was a messy playdate- that was the title- the boys were able to decorate cupcakes and cookies and play with a sand table full of Jell-O, slip-n-slide in Cornflour Goop and play
in a tent full of colored cooked spaghetti (red, blue, green, yellow)! Then they were able to play with some pudding finger paint and paint a giant sheet! The best part for them was probably splashing in the water at the end though to get cleaned up! Needless to say we wore those boys out! Kate had to run to meet another friend for lunch before heading to Springfield to see her family. She heads back to Texas next week, but will be staying with her mom until she leaves...thanks for the visit Kate! See you next summer!!!
