“Pop goes the corn”
We got up and talked to Uncle Todd and family on the computer (video). At first all the kids were kind of quiet but then started talking. It was fun to see Meghan and Henry. We had to go to the grocery store this morning. The kids pushed the little carts. It was crazy but they had fun. After we went to Baby Matthew’s (Jen) 1st birthday party. I think for the first the hour the kiddos were in the bounce house having a great time. They were giggling and bouncing all over the place. Nicole layed down and Justin jumped over her and vice versa. It was a little scary for me. It was all good until a child came in with his face totally painted like Spiderman. They were terrified and I carried two crying children out of the bounce house. So there was a face painter there. The kids were willing to get their hands painted, Nicole asked for a purple kitty and Justin asked for a baseball. It was cute. Of course the bounce house was on grass and Nicole says she is scared of grass (barefoot). We had lunch and then played with balls. The kids had a great time at the party; it was hard to get them to come home. The kids were pretty tired and took a nap. I ran and did some errands during nap. We decided to make ribs tonight (first time). So Bret did all his research during nap, and smoked/bbq’d great ribs. After nap we just played with the kiddos at home, so we could cook. We played in and out. Nicole is really into putting her baby in her old car seat. Justin was busy bopping balloons. It was a nice quiet afternoon at home. During dinner, Justin was eating corn on the cob and all of a sudden said pop goes the corn and started laughing hysterically. We had a great dinner. So sad that the weekend is over.
