Not really sure where to start with our fun filled weekend in Michigan...
We arrived around 430pm on Friday, headed to the beach for some playtime for the kids knowing that the weather on Saturday wasn't going to be near as nice. Then we got some pizza to go for dinner, and continued the playing back at Blayne and Molly's house! Rowan maybe napped 40 minutes on our way to MI, and Kieran's nap was short too, so they were a bit wild and crazy and overtired.
Saturday we did many fun things. After breakfast and showering, we colored Easter eggs with the kids. But honestly neither of them were overly interested, and Kieran was waiting and waiting for Rowan to show up so he could color eggs. Oh well! Ed and Blayne were more into making the brown eggs than anything! Boys I tell you!
When the kids were napping, we hid eggs for them to hunt for when they woke up. But due to the extreme number of eggs, and the one room we used to hide them in, there weren't so hidden. Then to make matters worse, we got bored waiting for them to wake up, so we all started eating the candy out of them. There was plenty to go around even when they awoke. After the egg hunt, us adults played some pictionary! Molly and I killed Ed and Blayne.
Grady is such a wonderful little boy! Rowan was very good with him, and with his toys too. She found it necessary to test the bouncy seat out several times. She even helped him bounce when he was in it! When we were out and about, Grady just slept and kept quiet! At home he was very spoiled, by the BH (me, the baby hog as ed likes to call me). It's been so long since we've had such a little one around! I thought I controlled my baby hogging very well! Everytime I held him, Rowan was crawling on my lap to hold him too!
Saturday evening we tried out the new indoor carousel in St. Joe. Rowan wasn't a huge fan at all until the very end. And we were there right before closing, so the kids only got 2 rides. You can tell I took her on first, and she hated it, by the end of the second ride with Ed she was finally smiling and waving!
On a side note, Rowan and Kieran played very well together. Occassionally they got a bit crazy, but no major up-roars between them. They shared well, and when they didn't the other one didn't notice, so it was fine. Rowan was trying to give Kieran his coat when we were leaving this morning, she wanted him to come along! And Kieran was upset when they told him that Rowan was leaving today! Super cute! Too bad we are so far away, but truly the drive wasn't horrible!

Gizmo at 8 weeks old!
They even got him a gift and treats!
These are the looks I get when I turn the water off, drain the sink, put the stool away!
She always wants the stool, she carries it from place to place to use it, but usually gets into lots of trouble with it too! Water everywhere, clothing soaked, has tried to put it in front of the stove (when things are cooking), in the middle of everything going on in the kitchen. So we frequently hide it in the laundry room, or put it up on the counter when we don't want her to use it, or whenever we leave the room! Starting to wish it would disappear, but she loves it too much!
