Dylan's big weekend!

What a weekend it was! Mom and dad came up on Friday for the weekend. Both boys got a great surprise when grandma showed up in their classrooms. She got to read in Dylan's class and worked with some of the kids in Alex's class. She really enjoyed getting to spend some time in each class and they loved getting to show her what they do.

On Friday afternoon Brian Marcella and Cole came up. Dylan got some new Star Wars books from Aunt Deanna and enjoyed having Grandma read them to him and Cole.


Birthday cake time.


This year for the first time I caved and let Dylan have a party somewhere other than at home. We went to a bowling alley.

Dylan and some of his friends waiting their turn.

We had several lanes so the grown ups got to bowl as did Alex and Cole (on their very own lane). Here are Cole and Dylan with Grandma.

Dylan and J. making sure the balls are all in the right order.

And all the boys for a group picture. Can you tell it was a wild party. Boy was I glad we weren't at home. It would have been way too crazy.

Before we left all the kids (yes that includes grandma) got a chance to play some skee ball.



Even Cole got a chance. This was his first time trying it out. It reminded me of when my boys were too little and couldn't get the ball to the top.


Oh and Missy went home on Sunday. Missy and Tucker had a stand off on Sunday.

I don't think they were very happy with each other.

Although my cats have been fussing at each other ever since. So I think they miss her, at least a little bit.

Dylan wanted me to post pictures of his new lego ship that he built last night. It was one of the hardest he's done yet, but he got it together.

All in all it was a great weekend. Lots going on, lots of fun. And hey, I broke a 100 in bowling on my only game. ANd that was with worrying about 7 boys, and 1 girl.
