Belated Mother's Day Posting

I can't believe I forgot to blog after Mother's Day! Oh well. We spent the weekend with my family, as we stayed home last year. Friday Kevin worked until 4ish, so we decided to stop at Melissa & Kenny's for the night. Tavin had a great time with T's many hermit crabs. Even if she did have some scabs afterwards. The kids had a great time playing together, and basically just running around the house waving pirate swords and yelling. Lucy was initiated to the world of sword fighting with her brother, by way of a swipe across the cheek. Inadvertently, of course. The bruise is mostly faded.

Saturday we continued on our way to mom & dad's. This would have been a really cute picture if the cameraman (me) wouldn't have had to hurry to catch it. The little stinker. Lucy was looking for her aunts on Monday, asking where "Dody" and "Fafissa" went. She also was handing Kenny DVDs saying "Foofie!". We'd never heard her swap her "fs" for "ms" before.

Grandpa had remnants of a burn pile in the back yard that T and Simon thoroughly enjoyed. It was only smoking a little, but they did manage to fan it into flame again. Scary. I missed all pictures of Brenden somehow, but I was present to hear him pronounce to Grandpa that he "...couldn't see the back yard because of all that JUNK!". Which I believe was all of our cars. He stayed out of the dirty ash pile...or maybe it was just during his "nap" time, when he whispered to uncle Kevin from the bed "I'm supposed to be taking a nap!". We are looking forward to a long weekend over the holiday all together in Sun River! I"m sure there'll be stories to tell afterwards!
