We have had a busy and fun week! Tuesday I had a doctor's appointment - I'm looking at having some minor surgery soon to help fix my congestion problems - and this appointment was the beginning of everything.
Wednesday was a fun morning at the library with Nicole and the kids and a wonderful evening singing with the Chorale!
On Thursday - all crazy-ness broke loose!! Thursday morning, we had a meeting to finalize stuff for Preschool for Evie - we will start this next week! Evie is excited! After school, I picked up the kids and took them up to the dentist for Aaron's check up - the kids did amazingly well - they were so well behaved and quiet and happy! Then we got home and had to try and get through homework and such and clean up before Dan took the 3 older kids to Skate City - they had a blast and got home shortly after Stephen and Claire and their family arrived. The kids all got to bed late from playing with cousins and it was a good thing that Aaron at least had no school the next day.
Friday, we all went to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge. We packed a lunch, and went exploring - we had a great time seeing stuff - Elise found a bunch of tiny bones that we think were the remnants of an owl pellet. Then we found a Monarch butterfly just out of it's chrysalis - it was still dripping and was starting to slowly spread and dry out it's wings. The kids had a great time - but it was pretty hot!!
It was so fun to watch the cousins play together! Eileen and Anna attached themselves to Elise - Elise and Eileen have an obsession for reading in common and Claire and I had a great time exchanging book recommendations for ourselves and our children! Aaron and Mason and Sammy all got along and had a great time playing together and Evie got along great with Lincoln and they had a blast running around screaming and making up funny games! It was fun to watch Dan talk with Mason about programming and he even took him in to work to look around and see their warehouse. Claire and I had some fun talking about scrapbooking and we were all sorry to see them go early Saturday morning.
Saturday was mostly an easy day - we slept in a bit (after staying up late playing) and had a lazy day hanging out around the house and doing a bit of yard work.

We should get together again soon-ish (the -ish was added because of the length of the drive...)! We had a fantastic time!!
