So Shairna and I determined last minute that we should get together this weekend! Seriously, we spoke at like 10 and she left at 4! She wasn't able to make it for Trenton's party and things have been hectic since then (everyone was sick) but the kids had off of school on Monday, so this worked out. They arrived after Trenton was asleep Friday night, so imagine his surprise when he awoke on Saturday to find all his cousins here!
(Notice how it is still dark outside... the first day he woke at 5:30, the next at 4... he was so excited!)
Justin and Jared are becoming great readers and are able to entertain the others with some of Trenton's library books.
The older boys had a blast playing with Play Dough while the little ones took a nap on Sunday. The weather was gorgeous on Saturday and we were able to allow them to play outside a bunch. They loved running around in our backyard! Ethan got lots of rides in the wagon and our T-ball set was put to good use.
The weather on Sunday was NOT nice. We took the kids to the local farm. Justin bravely fed the cow some straw while the others stayed away from the greedy goats and roosters. On the way home, we stopped to see the camping facilities at Allaire State Park. The plan is to take the kids there for a night this summer. I don't think the Bluesteens have ever been camping before, so it should be interesting (especially without Chris!) But they'll have a blast and are already talking about roasting marshmallows.
Marcus calls Trenton his "best friend". How cute! We hope to see you all again in June!
