Last weekend, we took a trip to Clover, SC, to see Nana Ollie, Grandad Pete, and Nancy! Here are some of the pictures from the trip!
The boys are getting easier to travel with. Caleb usually reads for most of the time, while Adam hops from one activity to another. Here, Caleb is reading "There's a Mouse About the House" book to Adam.
Adam tends to roll off beds (and I forgot to bring his bed rail this time), so we pile couch cushions on the floor, cover them with blankets, and voila! Instant bed. :) Here are the boys playing on Adam's bed after we'd set it up.
A few years ago, Nana Ollie gave us a bunch of old wooden spools for our boys to play with. She kept some at her house as well, and the boys (even though we have some of our own to play with) always gravitate toward them first once we arrive. Adam is showing off his tall tower!
I caught this adorable picture of my aunt Nancy hanging out with Adam while he was reading his book. :)
Caleb used his allowance (plus an extra dollar from Nana Ollie) to buy a pretend ninja set. He loved trying out all of the swords and protecting us all from the bad guys. :) If you look near the bottom of the picture, you'll see a spiky looking thing that I guess is supposed to be something that goes on your hand when you hit someone. However, Caleb corrected me and said that it was a back massager. You know, because all that kung-fu fighting can cause a ninja's muscles to tighten up. *wink*
One "fun" incident that happened was (LONG LONG story short) Sunday AM, around 6am, Adam fell backwards off of Caleb's bed and cracked his head on this bump out:
So, off to the ER we went, and Adam did GREAT as he got three staples in his head to close up the wound. Here's proof!
His head was bandaged with some gauze and some blue stretchy material (I'm sure there's a medical term for that stuff), to which he looked at us and exclaimed, "I'm a NINJA!!"
We had some stretchy blue stuff sent home with us, so we made another ninja mask for big brother. They played ninjas for awhile that day!
Nancy celebrated her birthday on January 20th, so we all went out for Sunday lunch to a wonderful place called Cherry, and ate some delicious Japanese food! Here are (from left to right) Liz, Nana Ollie, Grandad Pete, and Nancy enjoying the yummy food.
Continuing on around the table are (L to R) David, Caleb (who was enthralled by the chef setting various things on fire), and Uncle Alan who graciously held Adam the entire meal.
Nancy cracked me up when she put this tote bag on her head and said, "I'm a chef!" :)
Aunt Liz continued her tradition of taking us all out for frozen yogurt, so we went to Fuzzy Peach where they had this GIANT connect four game. :)
For Christmas, Alan, Liz and their kids gave our kids two adorable t-shirts which fit them (in every sense of the word) perfectly. They wore them for two days straight (before I made them take them off so I could wash them).
