Andy's work trip... for a week

For the week of 9/17-9/23/19

Andy had to go to South Carolina for a training for work for a whole week!! But before he left...

 Miles helped me zest lemons. He loves to sit on the counter and help.

 We met Andy for lunch at Five Guys and I drew Miles a robot while we waited. 

 He set up all of these houses. Hah!

 Rub your tummy and pat your head...

 Game night! I won. :)

 All ready to go out shopping with his purse.

 Dance party time!

 Shortly after that I started making dinner. I had set out an almost brand new bag of whole wheat flour on the counter, turned around to chop something, and turned back around to this!!!!! Oops. I had to stop and snap a picture before cleaning it up.

 The boys sure love each other.

 Telling secrets. <3

 Help! I smashed my fingers in a car door!

 Cutie pie, she made this out of bobby pins.

 Trying to help clean something up... I think I roll the paper towels back in at least once a day.

 Ruby was setting up a preschool classroom to teach Miles.

We all made secret notes for Andy to find in his bag on his trip. Reid's became quite elaborate.

 Sometimes he sleeps like this. <3

 He loves train tracks.

 Pizza and a movie night!

 Early morning Duplo building time.

 Reid has been making lots of fun machines lately.

 It was cold and lovely out, so we all bundled up in our pajamas and went out for a walk on Saturday morning right after breakfast. Very early the next morning Andy left. :( 

 They make beds in the weirdest places sometimes.

 Reid loves to draw our family at Sunday School.

 I got the kids to church by myself, then of course we ran to Costco. Hah! And I got them all back to church in the afternoon for our Rooted class.

 Fun!

 They needed to get some energy out so we made a jumping pile.

 Video chatting. We sure missed him!

 Reading a story to Baby Pluto.

 And a walk with my Sweet Pea.

 Post nap snuggle time.

 I had two lovely new friends from MOPs bring us dinner two of the nights while Andy was gone, which was so nice! My friend Bre brought us a huge plate of cookies with it, so as soon as the kids got home from the bus, Ruby asked to share with the neighbors. They had a cute picnic in the front yard. <3

 Then they invited us over to watch their circus!

Little cutie.
