Howdy friends and family,
Mom spoiled us with sweet tea and love while Dad showered our house with the gift of Lowes and handy work. The vacation time was well spent, but boarder line too productive since we set the bar really high on the daily accomplishments around the house.
The twins and I took Nana to the Dinosaur museum, but I neglected to call and find out if the museum was open. We showed up at the locked doors and were sorely disappointed. Luckily Easton and Layla are fairly flexible so we explained the predicament without any fits or screaming as a result. We took the alternate activity of playing at the park, which was equally exhausting for Mom. She's a real trooper when it comes to meeting the high energy of the twins.
At home I wanted to get a picture of Layla's cute outfit. She said, "wait, I want to sit on the couch!" She climbed up and posed like a model. She looks so natural and her smile IS natural even when she is posing.
We did a lot of cooking and eating at home during their visit. OK, let me rephrase that. Kendra and Mom did a lot of cooking and I did a lot of eating at home. Our efforts to plan ahead and prepare for meals really paid off. We splurged on Wednesday and ate at Rustler's Rooste as a Last Supper before Mom and Dad headed home.
Easton and Layla are well above the minimum height to go down the slide!.
The trouble is that they are still recovering from the sickness, which means any exertion results in instant coughing. They took several trips up the steps and down the slide. When we attempted to get a picture with Nana and Papa, Layla couldn't stop coughing long enough to smile.
The 4 Webbs quickly became accustomed to Nana and Papa being around. Just when we started to take their presence for granted it was time to send them back to Missouri. Sad to see them go, but blessed to have them in our house for a week!
I've chosen to remove the rest of this post because apparently my blog is only supposed to contain the good, happy, positive, fluffy, aspect of parenting twins and isn't a forum for me to share anything else about life that may be less than perfect.
Are you happy now? so be it.
