Tuesday was a GREAT day. We spent all day with Liam, Aiden, Nolan and Meghan. At 10 am we met at Legacy Books for a little story time. Nolan was a delight to watch. He was so excited to see everybody! "Does this kid ever get to go out?" Listening to a story and then browsing books and buying books made us all hungry. So we all walked over to Taco Diner and had a wonderful lunch of tortillas, beans, rice, chips, dips, fish tacos and avocado salad. The brood of 7 children got fed. Next activity: walking back to the cars, packing everybody up and heading for our house to swim. We bought a new big inflatable pool that morning after finding out that the other one had a huge whole in it. Somehow, we ended up with a small slip 'n slide, too. So while I was busy inflating the pool, Meghan set up the slip 'n slide for the kids. FUN! Pool of air and water, Liam and Katharine, creative little people that they are, picked up the smaller pool and put that inside the big pool and had a raft! Even more fun! A little while later, they came in and were ready to make butterfly cupcakes. Meanwhile Aiden and Lukas had the pool to themselves. Cupcakes are done, snack time! And upstairs they all went, including Nolan and Lennon. The bunk bed got converted into something you can play safari on and the disappointment was big when they all got asked for dinner, during which we heard frequent begs of "can we please have a sleep over?" in many variations that could possibly get Meghan and me to say yes, which, unfortunately did not happen that night. We said our good-byes after dinner, I sent the kids off to take a bath and as soon as their heads hit the pillows that evening, they were asleep. Hope that was the case at the Martel house, too. Thank you Meghan and boys for an awesome day! We love you, frousins!
