A Village

When you have four adults who don't have small children in their homes, it really does "take a village". After the kids were in bed you would have loved our "strategy sessions" for the next day's activities.
One of the biggest successes was the pizza making that John spearheaded. As you can see, Peyton helped make the crust. And both boys helped put on the pepperoni although it tended to be one in the mouth and one on the pizza. (They couldn't have learned that trick from their Uncle John, could they?) This pizza was a BIG hit with the small fry. The second one with caramelized onions was a BIG hit with the big fry.

What IS that that Uncle Bridge is making? And why are there no children in the picture? Turns out the kids thought the project was far too messy and wouldn't have anything to do with it. When completed, it's supposed to be a baseball pinata for Dillon's birthday party. Let's just say it has a looooooong way to go and Bridge took it home with him to complete it. He promised to send photos which I'll share with you when they come.

Luggage packed... paper airplanes packed... kids packed & plugged into their DVD... everyone still smiling (always a good sign) as we said goodbye to Uncle Bridge & Grandma Joey.

Now, eight hours later, the cat has finally decided it's safe to come out of the basement. Guess it takes awhile for the noise level to return to normal.
