Boys' Weekend

It had arrived - boys weekend - 3 boys - kind of a scary thought since I seem to handle girls better but I was game and the time had come!!

We left Jessi's house with Evan and picked up Parker along the interstate - Jill's were over in that area for another function so it worked out well!  Unfortunately the traffic was bad - and our usual 2 hour drive took a lot longer................

We picked up Kylan in Woodland Park and a pizza for dinner and headed to our house - the boys were anxious to get out of the truck and start their weekend!!

Parker's favorite snack - fruit cup up with marshmallows and a toothpick to eat it!!

Papa's cement floor in his new shop was a BIG hit!!  Evan and Parker had brought roller blades and Kylan had a scooter so they had a ball riding around in that big area!!

Each boy got to pick what they wanted for dinner one night - we had Parker's the first night which was pepperoni  pizza - sure was easy for me!!

And then it was back out to the shop - Papa built a ramp for the older boys to use and they loved it!

Parker was still getting used to roller blades so Papa put up a rope for him to pull himself on - with a little more practice, he'll be right up there with the big boys!!

Of course their favorite thing to do is technology - playing mine craft!!  They all join together and play and the first night there was sure a lot of LOUD talking back and forth and pretty soon an argument started................really???  The first night and the older two were already fighting??  I soon put an end to the argument and they all slept great!!

The next morning we played Sorry and once again the arguing over rules started and the name calling - Nana got pretty upset with them so separated the older boys!!  Jaime and Brad came out as they were bringing Kylans' pillow and another scooter and after me having a meltdown (which is very, very rare for me and then Jaime talking to the two boys), I got it out of my system!!!  Both boys apologized and the rest of the time went much better!!

I decided to have a little fun with the moms - I was texting them pictures of what the boys were doing and sent a picture of my large "special coffee" with this note:  Until I finish my coffee and Papa finishes his nap, we have tied up, bound and gagged all three boys in the basement, hope that is OK.  All 3 girls texted back cute things and then I sent the following picture with this message:  U thought we were kidding, didn't you?

I had gotten the kerchiefs out of our ATV bag and told the boys to put their hands behind their backs and to look scared - and they played out their parts well!!!

Papa was going to take the boys fishing over at Dick and Jane's pond so told Parker to practice casting at the house - he looked so cute!!!

And then it was off to fish!!!  To Be Cont'd..................
