our week (out of town)...

These photos are from our week after Hubs and I got back from our little trip. 

On her own, getting ready for bed at grandma Wilma's. 

The next day we headed to Hub's parents house an hour away.

We played a few games of Battle Ship. 

The pouring rain stopped and the sun and warmth came out long enough for us to go out and enjoy. I practically had to make my kids get wet and muddy. They were done with it after a few minutes. I made them play for at least 30 minutes. They did have a ton of fun and it was fun to watch them. 

Grandma had been on her feet all day from work and had to elevate her foot (that she had surgery on in February) because it was swollen. 

The next morning we didn't have anything to do and so we did alot of playing. We spent at least an hour playing dragons, princesses and knights. Then at one point daddy and Oak chased each other wearing pink capes. It was really cute!

A bit more dress up. 

There was plenty of Wii playing since we don't have any video games at our house. 

We went and watched Sherman and Mr. Peabody at the cheap theater.

While we were on our trip Grandpa bought this hat for Mac. I love it because when I was a little girl I wanted a black Firebird with a gold firebird on the hood. 

Oak with her birth mom. We had a great visit with Oak's birth family. 

Before bed Mac insisted we play a few rounds of tic tac toe. 

The next morning we all headed over to my brother-in-laws house so Hubs could help cut up some trees that they were cutting down and so we could hang out with grandma and baby E while her mommy was at work. 

She was a bit fussy so we were trying all sorts of positions to make her happy. 

Daddy taking a break from sawing. 

Uncle Spen gave the kids a ride on his new toy. He even let them steer it. 

So this was the second of the trees they had taken down and it was huge. We were all watching it fall.

here it is falling down. It made a loud sound. It was cool to watch. 

Me snuggling with baby E. I caught a smile while she was sleeping. 

My sexy hubs sawing branches off the tree. We actually had to leave to head back to k falls before they were finished with this tree. 

My kids love the little tree swing at Uncle Spen's. Oak didn't like how uneasy she felt on it so I would sit on it and then have her do spider legs around me and we would swing together. She loved that. 

She actually spent a great deal of time picking flowers. 

When we got home from our trip the kids had a package waiting for them with these cool Frozen buttons in them. 

During church Mac all on his own wrote out these equations. He is so loving math right now. 

And the mess we brought back with us. 

Now we get to spend our week moving from this apartment to a townhouse. 

We are excited for the space and for the kids to be able run around freely without worrying about noise.
