Whirlwind Weekend

Here's the true sign of a good weekend.....it's not quite 7:00 on Sunday evening and I think we could all go to bed!  We packed so much fun into one weekend.  My cousin and her husband and son flew in from North Dakota on Thursday afternoon so we had everyone here for dinner Thursday night.  Their little guy is almost 9 months so he fit in perfectly with our bunch of littles:)  I made breakfast Friday morning for them and my parents during a showing of my parent's house.  Friday afternoon we all went to the zoo for Zoo Boo and despite it being a little wet I think everyone had a good time.  After the zoo we headed to Doug and Sarah's house for a nacho/taco bar for dinner.  Saturday morning I went to a craft show for a little bit then we headed to my mom and dad's for lunch with everyone, then to church, and finally to Boo Bash at the school my sis-in-law teaches at.  Today our niece and nephews from the Reed side came and stayed with us while their mommy and daddy celebrated their mommy's birthday at the Packer game!  We did LOTS of fun stuff to keep us busy; I think they all had a good time.  Just writing about it all makes me sleepy:)

 We celebrated Jack's birthday with him today (his 2nd birthday was on the 15th)

 Carter, Callie, and Jack decorated made a very special cake for their mommy for her birthday today.  There were a few finger marks in the cake from two little frosting snitchers:) 

 We colored spooky Halloween pictures

 The finished product:)  A little heavy on the sugar but a masterpiece in mommy's eyes

 We watched a Halloween movie and had popcorn and chocolate milk

 We danced to Halloween music

 We had Minion Pakcker cupcakes to celebrate Jack's birthday.....

 .....and a Jack-O-Lantern made out of jello
(Jack LOVES jello so of course I was trying to win him over)

 We had pizza, grapes, jello, and apples with caramel for lunch

 We painted pumpkins

And Jack blew out his 2 candles on his cupcake:)
