All great stories...
Start in the middle of things
Don't you think?
This weekend we headed to the front range.
Piper rocked the car ride, thanks to her new DVD player from Aunt Amy.
She made it half way both times just with books and music and we'd stop - and use Sesame Street to bribe her back into her seat.
Totally Worked.
I mean the kid can't sit still for a movie at home.
How's she going to last almost 4 hours in the car?
I don't know, but she did.
twice!
Sandwich in the back of the car.
Covered in dog toys at the end of the road at the Aunties' house
We even got a play date in with Aunt Jenn and Z!
As you can see they got along great!
Josh said as we pulled away - you know, I could totally see sleep overs in our future with those two.
Piper insisted on getting into Z's bed.
At which point she put out her arms feeling the sheets and said, "Niiiice!"
She likes her a good crib!
After a nap the Aunties invited Aunt Sandi's neice and her two girls over.
Aunt Amy had a cookie party planed.
Leah and Piper were just far enough in age that they didn't really play.
Leah played while Piper watched.
But the cookie decorations?
Piper was eating them like crazy! But while I decorated this year, if Aunt Amy keeps this up she's going to be mighty popular in the years to come.
Conked out.
Of course it was just for her usual 40 minute car nap
(darn I'd hoped she'd prove me wrong on of these times) but she still rocked the return drive home.
She melted into a puddle when we got home, but ah well - what can you do.
We had a great time for sure - now we're settling into the swing of being home.
So far this week the weather has been stunning - we spent this afternoon working in the yard without coats or hats.
ahhhh....
