Well, this is my attempt at catching up a bit. Baby steps, you know.
So, my sister and her cute kids came to visit. She was great to have around, as she cooked dinner lots and started me on a project I'd been wanting to do for years--refinishing my cabinets. But, mostly, we just hung out. My girls were in school most of the time, but we did pull them out for a couple of hours, so as to have plenty of time to snuggle that cute little Buttercup cousin of theirs.
We also visited the park, did a little shopping, visited the twins for lunch at their school, saw the girls' choir concert, and went to Lowe's and Hobby Lobby a few times. The kids loved this. (And by loved, I mean it nearly killed them. Those are their least favorite stores. Probably because they know it means we'll be ignoring them at home for a while, using the treasures we find there.) We also tried our best to get a nice cousin picture. Here is the result:
But I actually like these a little better:
And this last picture, I just have to add because this little guy (we call him Lucky around the blogosphere) is nearly impossible to get a smile out of, and he was so happy to be helping his sister stop crying here, that he couldn't hide it from me. (Too bad I cut off half his head. I'm just a good photographer like that.)
There you have it--their visit in a nutshell. It was much nuttier and more fun than this post makes it sound. Trust me.
p.s.--Come back soon!
