We made lots of chalk drawings!
Noah's really into hurricanes right now, so he drew Tropical Storm Lee and it stretched all the way to Nana's front door!
While we were outside making the chalk drawings, Uncle Andy and his family showed up. Allyssa got to play with that now infamous flubber until bedtime. They came at just the right time too, because it got really yucky outside, with lots of thunderstorms and rain.
When we got back from my parents on Sunday, Aunt Jill and her family were there waiting for us. Once again, out came the flubber! Do you see a pattern this weekend?? ;-) Allyssa was there too and she played with it again, as did Trevor, Ty, and our kids.
I thankfully went to "Once Upon a Child" with Em on Sunday and bought the kids some warmer clothes, because the forecast was calling for it to be in the 60s. Heck! It was in the low 50s! Glad I got them when I did! Pete or Adam or someone lower the basketball hoop, so we played out there with that for a while before heading to over to walk the Greenway. Madie kept shooting the basketball backwards and made quiet a few shots like that!
Like I said, I'm glad we went shopping on Sunday, because we got Noah this jacket and hat and Livie her pullover. They were getting ready to pump up another basketball, so they all could play.
After a few rounds of basketball, we headed over to the Greenway. We always like to walk on this, because it's really close to their house.
But, as you can see from the picture, it was really cool and windy. I wasn't complaining though! It's my kind of weather!!! :-) Let's hope fall is right around the corner!
The kids always look for something special while we're there. This time is was wooley worms.
We found these two right at the onset. They found a couple more at the end of our walk too. I've never seen a blonde one like that before. The black and brown one was black on both ends and brown in the middle. That should mean that we have a bad winter at the beginning and the end, but a mild middle. We'll see!
Daddy was trying to make Livie warm by the lake!
Once everyone else got to the house, the boys stayed outside and played basketball. I think they lowered the hoop for themselves, so they could dunk it and not really to help the kids. ;-) Pete and Adam played a couple rounds that afternoon.
And, gee, what could that be AGAIN?! Yep. Flubber. I think my list of flubber-wants is up to 10. :-)
With all the grandkids there (with the exception of the little boy still in Francy's tummy!), we had to take a picture with Nana. Getting 6 kids to look at you and smile is a feat in and of itself, but I think we managed to sneak out a couple good ones. :-) it was a really great weekend and we loved seeing everyone!
