Big Boy Get-a-way

The boys are away on their first every stay away from home. They are staying with Erin and Chad until Thursday. I took them and my mom this past Thursday and drove back today. I will go back on Wednesday to pick them up. I am pretty sure it's harder on me than them. Erin pretty much pushed me out the door, I was dragging out my good byes a little too long. They had a good first day today going to a spray park and ending with movie night watching Rio and getting popcorn. I'm looking forward to hearing about their adventures with their cousins and Aunt and Uncle. I am also looking forward to getting sleep and a lot of things done around the house. Here are my darling nieces with my boys from my brief visit. I'm sure I'll get a lot of pictures from Erin this week.

Playing and shopping at the mall. We don't have an indoor mall in our town so Rylan was asking a lot of questions why this mall was indoors. My poor deprived children. ;)

I love going to their Paint A Piece. Austin and Mallory painted gekko's (to both be hung on the walls), and Rylan painted a Spiderman Box that he will put his shark tooth necklace in. I was able to get them to decorate a light switch and outlet cover for the laundry room. I could definitely spend a lot of time and money in there. Good thing the one near our house closed.

Austin has been pretty stoked he was big (and strong) enough to carry Mia. He even picked up Mallory. I grabbed my camera and this is the pose I got. My strong boys!

Water, water everywhere!

Relaxing before bed.
