Photo Story Friday: One Last Hurrah!

Yesterday, my friend Karen and I took Grant, Eli, and her little girl Lana to Chuck E Cheese for one last hurrah before Grant and Lana both start preschool on Tuesday. We had a ton of fun and after our last trip to CEC {with 6 kids} this one seemed like a piece of cake! It is amazing how much easier it is to deal with 3 kiddos as opposed to 6!

Grant and Lana had a great time playing games and they both ended up with almost 250 tickets...which is a lot considering last time each kid ended up with about 20!

Here are some pics of our SUPER fun day at Chuck E Cheese! Eli wasn't too impressed with Chuck E!
And Grant hid under the table pretending he was scared!
Grant playing a game...
and riding on a ride!

Eli had fun {sort of} on the train!

And they both loved playing basketball.

We all had a great time, and now we are looking forward to starting preschool on Tuesday!

Photo Story Friday: Change of Plans

What do you do when the Splash Pad is being worked on? Swing on the swings...

Sit in your stroller...

Rescue injured birds...
And wait for the water to come on!

Photo Story Friday: Splash Pad

Yesterday, the boys and I went to the Splash Pad with a group of friends. The kids had a great time playing, and the moms had a great time talking and watching the kiddos splash around!

Photo Story Friday: Camp Out In

Last weekend the boys had a camp out....except they were really camping in the playroom!

We started the afternoon with hot dogs on the grill. It was SO hot outside that we decided not to build a campfire, so we just made our dinner and dessert on the grill instead. Jason cooked some hot dogs and sausage for us and we had a nice dinner outside on the patio.




After dinner, we made S'mores! The boys used some wooden shishkabob sticks and held their marshmallows over the grill. Not quite as good as a campfire...but it worked good enough to make a few ooey-gooey S'mores!

Jason helped Henry and Grant set up their tent in the playroom and they got out their sleeping bags and pillows! They had a great time camping....{even if it only lasted until 10 pm because they still weren't asleep when Jason and I were ready to go to bed}!

Photostory Friday: Golf with Dad

The boys LOVE to play golf outside with their daddy!

Grant and Henry both have their own junior golf sets. As soon as Eli starts walking {which may not be too far in the future} ,we will have to break out the Little Tykes golf clubs so he can play along too!

Photostory Friday: Cookies for My Cookie Jar!

I decided that I needed to bake some chocolate chip cookies to add to my SUPER cute cookie jar that I made for Heidi's Monthly Craft Challenge. After two different stops at the store last night, I had everything I needed to make a massive amount {a double batch....one for the cookie jar and one for my friend Karen*} of SUPER yummy cookies! The baking started at 9:00 pm and ended a little before midnight! There is nothing better than late night cookie baking!

I think my new cookie jar looks even better now that it is full of SUPER yummy chocolate chip cookies! What do you think?

* Please remember my friend Karen and her family in your prayers today. She found out yesterday that she had a miscarriage {her second 2nd trimester loss in less than a year}. Just remember her family and pray that they lean on God during this extremely difficult time!
