a whole weekend with the littles...oh my!

we got to watch a couple of our favorite little people this weekend...for the whole weekend.  i'd be lying if i said we weren't super excited.  and nervous.  especially since i had to work on saturday so gordon was going to be flying solo for a bit.  but we did it!  gordon even combed little miss' hair into a ponytail!  success...yes, i would say so.
lucky for us the event i was working was a safe kids fest.  gordon brought the littles and they participated in a bunch of activities...a safety super hero photo booth may have been one of them (and the one i was in charge of).
little miss wanted me to take photo after photo of her being a safety super hero...she loved it, even if this photo doesn't make it look like she did.

of course, every kid events needs a clown making balloon animals.  two swords coming right up!
on sunday on the way home to drop them off they zonked right now.  if that doesn't say my uncle gordon and aunt jess are the funnest and bestest, then i don't know what does.
one of my favorite parts of the weekend was getting little miss ready for church.  she wanted me to curl her hair like a princess.  she just may be the sweetest thing ever!

one of the worse parts of the weekend was when we had to "discipline" little man.  he may or may not have spun around in a circle while going pee...which may or may not have gotten all over my bathroom...which may or may not have led us to explaining to him that he would not be able to have any of uncle gordon's blue popcorn because he peed all over the bathroom.  it broke our hearts when we were watching frozen, little miss eating her pink popcorn, and little man said "i'm not eating any popcorn because i peed all over the bathroom, right?"  yes, little man.  at least he understood why he wasn't getting a treat.  these kids are smart and understand so much.  a true example of great parenting (thanks mel and justin!).

will we do this again?  YES.  just not this weekend or next weekend...give a bit to recover.  maybe next time we can add the littlest man to the mix.  maybe.
