When the Dad's are away the Mom's and the kids will play!
That was the plan this last weekend...the kids and I headed down to Texas to visit with the Warnock's, since both Dad's were on vacation.
(I mean TDY, Air Force acronym for business trip.)
Colby had a great idea to get a babysitter (poor girl) so we could go to dinner and a movie.
We had dinner and went to see "The Time Traveler's Wife."
When we got home, we were really hoping for the kids to be asleep...ya right!
When we got home, we were really hoping for the kids to be asleep...ya right!
But that's OK...the kids get really ornery and tired and throw temper tantrums! YAY!
Gotta love being a Mom!
The next morning one of the kids thought it would be fun to paint sticks...
So, Colby being the awesome Mom that she is (because I wouldn't have ) got out all the paints and let them paint their sticks.
I love how detailed Taylor was about picking out his colors and his design.
Maddie was obviously excited about something and telling me all about it, but I can't remember what it was...I just love this look on her face...
At one point Maddie started crying for a "bub"....we're talking a major crying, meltdown of a fit! I took her into one of the room's to calm her down and figure out what the heck a "bub" was...
after a few mintues I finally realized what a bub was...it was a BIB!
They wear them at school when they paint...duh Mom!
Luckily, Colby was prepared and had one for her to wear...WHEW!
So we went from sad to happy in a matter of seconds!
She also has learned that if you mix Red, Black, and White together you get
PURPLE!!!
All the kids with their completed sticks...all ready for battle.
After lunch we headed to the neighborhood pool...
...where the Mom's hung out with our Diet Coke's
until the little cuties thought they needed some too!
The late night had obviously started catching up to the kids...
After the pool, everyone was exhausted, so we headed home...
My kids fell asleep within 15 minutes on the road and slept until the next morning...
SWEET!!!
I hope you are ready for more weekend's like this Colby!
