Sleep Over Party at Grandma's

Ev and the kids and I found something to do over spring break on a rainy day--we went to see "Tangled" at the dollar theater and then ate lunch at McDonald's. Had so much fun I decided to take Carter and Kylie home with me for a sleepover! (Click on photos to enlarge)

The kids love picking fruit off of our very "prolific" kumquat tree. Then Carter and Kylie helped Grandma pick up branches and sweep while she trimmed a bush. Of course, the best part was playing witches with the brooms after they finished sweeping.

Because Brent needed donuts for Seminary, we had a very yummy breakfast albeit not very healthy! We went to Walmart for a few things and wound up with a cool looking shirt for Carter that came with Silly Bands, no less and a trendy little outfit for Kylie... (although Kylie had a pretty hot looking style at the house playing with brother.)

After lunch it was park time to feed the ducks and do some all out playing. Carter did his "boy" thing at the park and found a stick and Kylie found her Mommy the perfect gift....an orange. (Unfortunately, brother decided to smash the orange so the gift was short-lived. No worries though...our understanding neighbor had some nice flowers that Kylie picked to replace the orange for Mommy.)

They actually got a double dose of play today at two different parks because we had to wait for a repair to be made on Brent's bass clarinet. There was a boy Carter's age and a girl about Kylie's age at the second park which was fun.

There were peanut butter cookies made, a movie watched, dominoes played, legos built, stories read (don't ask them about the "invisible enemy"...more about that later!), lots of pancakes, bacon, eggs, waffles and spaghetti, Mario Cart and bowling on the Wii and even a pillow fight! Does it get any better than that???!!

It was a great time for all! McKell, you're next!
