Boy Time!

We’ve had my three oldest nephews with us for the past few days, and before that I was too busy with all of the Fourth of July festivities to post anything. So, here I am today. There’s too much going on in my head to narrow in on one topic and write anything of consequence. Since Wednesday morning, I’ve taken the boys swimming four times, fixed enough food to feed an army, let them play about a dozen hours of video games, taken them to play Glow Golf, gone grocery shopping, and watched several movies. Yesterday Chris did not get home from work until around 8, and he was terribly missed. However, he’s taking the entire day off today. The boys love having him around; there’s a lot that can be said for the value of the male bonding that goes on between them.

Today promises to be eventful. I started the day by making Mickey Mouse waffles and turkey bacon for everyone. Now the boys are in the process of getting cleaned up so that we can go to the Frist Museum today. They have an Egyptian exhibit with mummies, perfect for boys. After that we’re going to have lunch at Jason’s Deli where they have ridiculously large loaded baked potatoes and free ice cream, also perfect for boys. The afternoon/evening will consist of swimming, a trip to the dog park, building a fire in one of the fire places of a pavilion in the park in order to make s’mores, and video game playing. Somewhere in there Chris has to take Bella to his parents’ house and switch vehicles. On Saturday we will return the boys to their parents, go to Six Flags, see an arena football game, and return home on Sunday.

As you can see, we have been and will continue to be busy. I need caffeine!

Yeah you need caffeine!! I'll say! You've been busy and I don't think it's going to let up until you're safe and sound returning home Sunday. LOL Thanks for all that you've done with/for the boys this week, I'm sure they've enjoyed it immensely!
