we had out lovely monthly ladies breaky. nate helped with the set up. he actually helped
i kept it easy-peasy. an orange, lime and lemon for center pieces. mini pots of soon to bloom pots, tea lights for flicker and napkins folded as invites. simple and fun
nice hand print, on my just cleaned window
my kitchen helper as i tried to make chris a swiss cake
"and that's what i think about that dad"
"what are your thoughts on the matter?"
mama misty and baby mason
nate saying good bye after our "short" visit. right misty? it was short, very, very short...if chris asks just say it was a short visit...
nate saying good bye to his future wife? ...hum.....

learning new funny faces from jacob. thanks dude! hah!
he was done. the kids were suppose to stay to sing with the older ones but nope, nate was done...haha

doing manly play in the man pit
where quinn took over the kitchen
this is very serious. quinn loved the play kitchen
adorable charlie
singing to charlie. she totally got into it!
bio mama and char ( we all know that i am her real mom)
that rabbit did it AGAIN! he made a mess last yr and he did it again. a mess was made outside this time and the boys, thank goodness! were up to the job of cleaning up the mess....and they did
in keeping up with the tradition. nate got an egg, opened it, ate it or i should say stuffed it into his mouth and ran to the next one. quinn's game plan was smarter (in my opinion) he chose to run as fast as he could and grab as much as he could. and eat it later
his mouth was stuffed with the treats and i mean stuffed!
love the end result! those buckets were HUGE! i got them at micheals for 1.50. love them!
and back to the man pit they went. this is the BEST investment in the back yard! nate has spent SO much time in this thing! he LOVES it, i even bring them water so they can get all muddy. hey! it washes off! and i would rather they make a mess that is OUTSIDE!
last cuddle before they left
quinn and chris
goodbye hug
and cry's for nana and papa
to take some of the pain away, we took nate to a "new" park to play with some kids
i told nate to go climb a tree
he did
trying to show nate how this works
great job chris!
