For the week of 8/11-8/17
My parents came up for the week! It was so nice to see them, it had been about 6 months since they came up last. We quarantined really well the week before to make sure we didn't have COVID.
The kids were SO excited, they were counting down the days! So were we... we got to go on a little two night getaway. Literally the first time we didn't have the kids with us 24/7 since February! It was much needed. Thanks mom and dad!!
The first night, the kids were so excited for story time with Grandpa.
Grandma brought her balloons and made everyone a balloon animal.
On Wednesday we took off right after lunch. The very first thing we did was finding a quiet spot in a park and taking a lovely nap. Hah! Our Airbnb wasn't too far away, and we had a lovely time. It was so nice and quiet.
Meanwhile, Miles built lots of train tracks.
And went on a nice walk.
We ended our little trip with officially starting our house hunt! This was the first of seven that we looked at. It was right on power line park, which was fun, but the lot and house itself were both very small.
Mom and Dad had taken the kids down the street, and they found a fun play spot!
They call it their "secret hideout."
Miles loves this cat Lily from down the street.
My sunflowers bloomed! It's called Ruby Eclipse and is SO pretty.
Dahlias too! We've had so much fun growing flowers this year.
Ruby helped Grandma peel and slice peaches for dessert.
Ruby made some jewelry with Grandpa. :)
Pizza night!
Movie night! We watched Wallace and Gromit.
Sunday was SUPER hot out. After church was done, we packed up a picnic lunch and went on a walk around a lake nearby. It got really hot!
The kids found some baby ducks.
This plant is so cool. The kids are inside of it! It's like a tent in there.
Super concentration.
They played "school."
Ruby made these deviled eggs all by herself! (with a little coaching).
Reid wrote the alphabet two different ways. I love his "g" and backwards "s."
Trying to open the back door while it's locked.
My parents left on the 17th, then we had family game night! The kids did really well. We did have to send Miles down the hall to play with his Legos while we finished. Haha. We're almost to the point where we can all play one together.
